Strive not to become a prisoner of the mighty

Strive not to become a prisoner of the mighty
Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
 
The Bible warned that in the last days dangerous times of great stress and trouble will prevail on earth. Today, difficulties that are hard to bear are everywhere throughout the globe. Inasmuch as we are in the last days, you need to realize that it is a dangerous and terrible time; with the majority of the populace of the world including the Christians going through hard times. The Bible corroborated this fact by saying, "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come." 2 Timothy 3:1. 
 
Do not be naive; there are difficult and terrifying times ahead; and people throughout the world will witness great stress; however, you must not succumb to the wiles of Satan to become a prisoner of the mighty. Your difficulties, or liberty is not an excuse for you to fall into the trap of Lucifer. Therefore, strive not to be among the prisoners of the mighty. 
 
The mindset of people across the world is changing; lesser people are relying on God instead of their skills, intelligence and prowess. Mankind now believes solely in their capabilities and power, instead of trusting God and putting their hope in Him: this behavior makes it easy for Satan and the hosts of hell to put them in spiritual captivity and hopeless situations. Nowadays people focus on realizing their ambitions, while turning a blind eye to everything else; including the statutes of the Lord. Numerous people are walking the path of unrighteousness, regardless of the consequences; in order to realize their ambitions. Time has come for you to do what is right if you don't want to be penalized.
