DCLM Daily Manna, Monday April 27, 2015 by Pastor Kumuyi – Angelic Evangelism

Topic: Angelic Evangelism [Monday April 27, 2015]

Text: Revelation 14:6-13

Key Verse: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6).

Someday, gospel-preaching which has hitherto been the exclusive preserve of the saints on this earth, will be done by angels. During the last half of the great tribulation when the redeemed would have been raptured and gone to live with the Lord in heaven, some angels will be sent to a world in torment to preach “the everlasting gospel”.

They will proclaim nothing else but what believers have been preaching. This affirms the unity and universality of evangelism, because Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, and today and forever.”

The angelic message will come with force and power associated with those who stand in the presence of God. They will be foretelling the collapse of Babylon, which symbolizes the politics, religion and economic system of the world whose chief characteristics are immorality, rebellion, apostasy and support for the Antichrist. It will be abominable corruption rolled into one.

There is a warning that those who are tempted to deny their faith in Jesus and receive the mark of the beast in the face of martyrdom will be doomed. They are enjoined to continue to be steadfast in the Lord regardless of the pressures to give up.

According to the angelic preaching, those who die for their faith in Christ during the tribulation will be specially blessed. What holds true in these words also holds true today. The Christian must shun the defiling influence of the system of the world now in order to escape the wrath of God.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 1-2

Thought for The Day: Believe the gospel to escape the wrath to come.
