🌙 MIDNIGHT CALL REFLECTION

Topic: Mammon and the End-Time Deception
Text: “No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve God and Mammon.” — Matthew 6:24

In this age, the world’s pulse beats to the rhythm of Mammon — the god of wealth, greed, and material pursuit. From the towers of global finance to the corridors of the Church, Mammon has subtly replaced faith as the measure of success. The spirit of Mammon is not merely about money; it is about allegiance — who we trust, whom we serve, and what we truly worship.

When Jesus warned of Mammon, He was not condemning wealth itself but the idolatry behind it — the system that makes humanity bow to possessions instead of to God. Today, this idolatry manifests in global corruption, economic oppression, the commercialization of the gospel, and even moral decay cloaked in comfort. The love of money has not only pierced society but has infected spiritual institutions.

The end-time prophecy unfolds before our eyes: a world seduced by luxury, controlled by markets, and driven by self. The Antichrist’s system thrives where Mammon reigns, conditioning people to trade conscience for convenience and truth for prosperity.

Believers must awaken. The end-time Church is called not to compete with the world in riches but to confront it with righteousness. As Mammon grows louder, the voice of holiness must rise stronger. This is not the hour to chase what perishes, but to invest in what endures — souls, service, and eternal treasures.

🙏 Prayer

Lord, deliver me from the grip of Mammon. Let my heart seek You above silver and gold. In these last days, help me discern, resist deception, and live as a faithful steward of Your kingdom.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil.” — 1 Timothy 6:10

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

-
  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
