Daily Devotional. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere THE LAMP OF GOD WENT OUT IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. 1 Samuel 3:2-4. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3. This falling away has been going on for thousands of years, what’s the big deal? The intensity, the severity, the mass number, the absolute rejection of the Lord and His Christ, will be on a scale never before seen and felt in the church. This includes Preachers, Priests, Teachers, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors, and Joe Sheepers. If they’re in the church, no one is immune from a fall. BUT CHRIST WILL KEEP HIS, NOT ONE CHRISTIAN, (capital “C”), WILL BE LOST. No Christian will fall into apostasy. Yes a Christian may stumble, but his Brothers and Sisters will immediately come alongside and restore him. He WILL Repent quickly, and be restored, and move on. The little “c” christians will fall fast and furious. THEY NEVER WERE ONE OF HIS. Falling away can be a slow slide you never saw coming, or a fast rejection, either way, it’s apostasy. These will be preachers tired of preaching, and pew sitters tired of listening. As a preacher dies, so does the Word in him, so does the sharpness of the sword, no more cutting, no more repentance, no more life, JUST A GROWING DEAD “CHURCH” BY DEAD PREACHERS TO DEAD PEOPLE. Joel Osteen and his church of 25,000 people is a perfect example. Preachers, keep yourself Pure, Righteous, and Holy, that your sheep will be Pure, Righteous, and Holy, as they too Grow, and, Be Blessed.
