Have patience, Be patient

By your patience possess your souls.
Luke 21:19 (NKJV)

When the Lord was asked for signs and tips about the end times, He gave a rather gloomy picture and daunting scenario. There will be persecutions and sophisticated deceptions that will require a discerning mind and spirit to detect. In all these there will be prevalence of a sheered conscience, moral decay, widespread destruction and uncommon calamities everywhere. Wolves will come in Sheep's clothing, dishing out the word so much like the real thing, but we have been warned and given the way out of these things. With patience we will wear out the deceptive ploys and antics of the adversary in sheep's clothing, with patience we will overcome the dread and scaring events of the end time.

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 14:4-6 (NKJV)

With patience we will ultimately possess our souls.

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
