TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 12TH OCTOBER 2024
Beloved, the days are gone when, as a believer, you still play church. Today, the devil is out of his closet and is roaming the streets in full view. He is no longer secretive about his person or assignment. The incidences of evil manifestations around the world are alarming. And just as the Bible said, the church is not left out.
The prevalence of many wolves dressed as sheep, false prophets, and teachers standing behind the sacred desk, desecrating God’s altars, is alarming. It is painful! The rather unfortunate thing is that many will be deceived by these false prophets and magicians that we see all over the place and fall prey to the enemy. That is what the Bible says. So, the question is, “How can you escape this corruption in the world today?” The answer is in the scripture: Be rooted and established in Him! That’s the only way.
Having received Christ, Apostle Paul admonished the Colossian church to tow the path that He has laid down, in general life conduct and behaviour. Here, the believer is likened to a tree. As a tree of righteousness, they must be rooted. To be rooted in this context is to become stable. As a believer, you must recognize that Christ is your root, and you derive all your life nourishment and fruitfulness from Him if you remain in Him.
Therefore, if you are going to be deeply rooted, continually built up, and established in the faith, then you must be taught. God, in His wisdom, has raised Bible-believing churches as a platform for equipping His people such that you are continually built, deeply rooted, and established in the knowledge of Him. These things will ensure that you are not prey in these last days.
