THE ANTICHRIST
How To Know Him
David Abankwah
(SERIES: Day 6)

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? HE IS ANTICHRIST who DENIES the FATHER and the SON.
-1 John 2:22 | NKJV

The Antichrist is working in mysterious ways other than the ones the Book of Revelation narrated, but least do we know that the Antichrist keeps mutating the trend and the lust of the world to catch us off guard. He works in 666 ways, wiles or tactics. This is what is normally termed as ‘666’ in the Bible, even though it is also the number or name of the beast (Revelation 13:17-18). They are ways the Antichrist uses to draw the world to the kingdom of darkness. These ways include entertainment (sports, gaming, sexy movies, betting etc), indecent dressing, false prophets, culture of nations and other things that go contrary to the Word of God.

The target the Antichrist is fighting hard to achieve is the authorities of the nation and the church. He has succeeded in the world by influencing the power of Presidents and parliamentarians. He knows that, if he can influence the authorities of the nation, society, workplace or heads of families to enact evil laws, the subordinates or followers will be drawn away from the love they have for God and His Son – Jesus Christ. Drawing from Jesus Christ is denying Him. So, if you read through the Bible carefully, the Antichrist started his work when man fell (Genesis 6:5). If you have drawn away from Jesus Christ, kindly get closer to Him.

He influenced the majority of the world into wickedness and led them straight into the flood. He also led the city of Sodom and Gomorrah into the fire. That was not all. He also influenced about six main empires, namely: Egypt, Libya, Greece, Russia, Medo-Persia, and Roman Empire to draw their citizens from God through idolatry, unbelief, wickedness, sorcery, knowledge, and other things that led them to sin and to commit iniquity. Now, what the Antichrist has targetted now is the church. He has perforated the doctrine of Jesus Christ with deceitful dogmas and has succeeded in deceiving many churches with them.

He has made us believe that no one can be righteous and holy and as far as humans are concerned, we can’t stop sinning. He has also brought in fake pastors and fake church members who had made and will make Christianity an unappealing one for believers to fall and prevent unbelievers from joining. Every Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher, and Pastor who draws your attention from Jesus ALL THE TIME onto material things other than righteousness, holiness, and sanctification, is an Antichrist. Any church member who HAS STAYED in Christianity for so long and can’t live a holy life is also an Antichrist.

•| Prayer Diary |•
¹Lift up prayers to learn or to take note of every act of lying you have engaged yourself in the past before so you don’t engage in them again. ²Lift up prayers to be faithful to the truth you have in the God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ even to the point of death so you will not deny them. ³Lift up prayers to speak the truth and to live a life without pretences. ⁴Lift up prayers for the faith in Jesus Christ as God so you will not dishonour Him as a mere Son of man in the name of Jesus Christ.

Quote
“You can’t deny the Divinity, Sonship and Messiahship of Jesus Christ if you are not possessed with the Spirit of Antichrist”
