Matthew 24:12–13 can be likened to what is happening in Nigeria and many parts of the world today. Wickedness, violence, corruption, hatred, and moral decline seem to be increasing, causing many people's love for God and for one another to grow cold. Yet, in the midst of these challenges, God calls His people to remain steadfast, faithful, and unwavering. As verse 13 reminds us, "He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." This is a call to perseverance, faith, and love despite the darkness around us.
Beloved, let us be encouraged today. Let us not allow the evil around us to extinguish the light of God within us. Let us continue to love, pray, serve, forgive, and stand firm in our faith. The fact that darkness is increasing is not a reason to give up; it is a reason to shine brighter.
Keep trusting God. Keep doing good. Keep walking in love. Keep your eyes on Christ. The race is not for those who start well alone, but for those who endure to the end.
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matthew 24:13
May the Lord strengthen us to remain faithful and steadfast until the very end. Amen
