Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning.

Today's Passage : Today's Passage: Beware Of Deception
Bible Verse: 2 Thessalonians 2:3
"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"
Message:
A newspaper reported on April 25, 2022 that a pastor in Nigeria had convinced members of his church to relocate with him to a camp in another state to “prepare for the end of the world.” Each qualified member paid the pastor the equivalent of $3,000 for “access to go to heaven.” Eventually, the waiting became a nightmare for the members, and the pastor was arrested and charged to court for fraud. The second coming of Christ has been used once again to deceive the unwary.
The early disciples were passionate about the second coming of the Lord Jesus. When Jesus ascended heaven from Mount Olivet, an angel announced to the disciples, “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). The return of Christ is a prominent topic Paul covered in his two epistles to the Thessalonian church. In today’s reading, Paul addresses believers’ need to prepare appropriately.
Paul warns the Thessalonian Christians to watch out because of the erroneous teachings of some people about the imminent return of Christ. These false teachers, like the incident reported above, were telling people to do away with productive Christian living because of the impending return of the Lord. Paul, with great passion, dismisses such irresponsible falsehood. He states unequivocally that the Antichrist would not breach the divine agenda. The Antichrist would manifest after a time of great apostasy, and his identity would not be mistaken.
Every believer should prepare for the coming of the Lord Jesus. We should, however, not allow ourselves to be deceived by unscriptural expectations and desires. The signs of His coming are clearly stated in the Scriptures, and extra-biblical manipulations should be avoided like a plague. We should seriously heed the warning that the Lord Jesus gave His disciples on His second coming: “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch” (Mark 13:37).
Meditation
:
Prayer :
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
