 *SEVEN SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGES FOR CHRISTIANS*


Social media brings several challenges to those Christians who use it. The biggest challenge is maintaining these postures:

1) Own control, so as not to waste too much time on social media;

2) A pure mind, not to delight in or share news, videos, posts, and photos that promote impurity;

3) Be wise, not to give credit to everything you read and see – there is a lot of misinformation and fake news purposely planted in these social networks;

4) Sobriety, so as not to expose your life and that of your family in public, bringing people you don't know online into your home and privacy;

5) Patience in dealing with comments, opinions and criticisms from people who do not have education, common sense, manometer or any condition to maintain a dialogue or participate in a debate in an intelligent and courteous way.

6) Wisdom, not to be hasty in responding and reacting to provocations. There is no peaceful end to fights bought with foolish and contentious people.

7) Humility to understand that although free access to the internet allows everyone to write texts and comment on whatever they want, this does not make you a theologian, a good writer or wise in your pronouncements.

God blesses,

Rev. Augustus Nicodemus

Ezekiel 7

¹ Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

👉² And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD concerning the land of Israel👈⚠️:👉 The end is coming, the end is coming on the four corners of the earth.⚠️

👉³ Now the end has come upon you, and I will send my wrath upon you😡, and I will judge you according to your ways👣, and I will bring upon you all your abominations.⚠️⚠️⚠️

⁴ And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have mercy on you, but I will set your ways over you, and your abominations will be in your midst; and you will know that I am the Lord.

⁵ Thus says the Lord GOD: One evil, behold, one evil comes.

⁶ The end is coming, the end is coming, it has awakened against you; behold, it comes.

⁷ Morning comes to you, O inhabitant of the earth. The time comes; The day of trouble has arrived, and the mountains will no longer hear the sound of joy.

⚠️⁸ Now I will quickly pour out my wrath upon you, and fulfill my wrath against you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will lay all your abominations upon you.👈

⁹ And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have mercy on you; According to your ways, I will punish you, and your abominations will be among you; and you will know that I, the Lord, am the one who strikes.

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold it comes; The morning has come, the branch has blossomed, the pride has blossomed.

¹¹ Violence has arisen as a rod of impiety; nothing will be left of them, nor of their multitude, nor of their rumor, nor will there be mourning for them.

¹² The time comes, the day has come; let him who buys not be glad, and he who sells let him not grieve; for fiery wrath is upon all their multitude.😡😡😡

¹³ For he who sells will not possess what he sold again, even if he were among the living; for the vision will not return over all its multitude, nor will anyone strengthen his life with his iniquity.

¹⁴ They have sounded the trumpet, and have prepared everything, but there is no one to go to battle, 👉because my burning wrath is upon all their multitude.👈😡

¹⁵ Without is the sword, and within is pestilence and famine; whoever is in the field will die by the sword, and whoever is in the city will be consumed by famine and pestilence.

¹⁶ And those who flee from them will escape, but they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all groaning, each one because of his iniquity.

¹⁷ All hands will become weak, and all knees will be as weak as water.

¹⁸ And they will gird themselves with sackcloth, and terror will cover them; and shame will be upon all their faces, and baldness upon all their heads.

¹⁹ Their silver will be thrown into the streets, and their gold will be taken away; Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them in the day of the Lord's wrath; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, for this was the stumbling block of their iniquity.

²⁰ And the glory of his ornament he set in magnificence, but they made in it images of their abominations and detestable things; That's why I have done a filthy thing to her.

²¹ And I will deliver her as a prey into the hands of foreigners, and to the wicked of the land for booty; and they will profane it.

²² And I will turn my face away from them, and they will profane my hidden place; for plunderers will enter it and defile it.

²³ Make a prison, because the earth is full of blood crimes, and the city is full of violence.

²⁴ And I will bring the worst of the Gentiles and they will possess their houses; and I will cause the arrogance of the strong to cease, and their holy places will be profaned.

Ezekiel 7:1-24

 My question is: Is what is happening not the wrath of God???


¹ Weight of Babylon, which Isaiah son of Amoz saw.

² Raise a banner on the high mountain, raise your voice to them; wave your hand at them, so that they may enter through the gates of the nobles.

³ I gave orders to my sanctified ones; yes, I have called my mighty ones to execute my wrath, those who exult in my majesty.

⁴ The shouting of the crowd can be heard on the mountains, like the shouting of many people; the sound of the hubbub of kingdoms and nations gathered together. The Lord of Hosts reviews the army of war.

⁵ The Lord and the instruments of his wrath are coming from a remote land, from the end of the sky, to destroy the whole land.

⁶ Cry therefore, the day of the Lord is at hand; comes from the Almighty as desolation.

⁷ Therefore every hand will grow weak, and every man's heart will faint.

⁸ And they will be astonished, and pains and woes will come upon them, and they will be in distress, like a woman in labor pains; each one will be amazed at his neighbor; his faces will be flaming faces.

⁹ Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, dreadful, with wrath and burning wrath, to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof.

¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened when it rises, and the moon will not shine with its light.

¹¹ And I will visit the wickedness upon the world, and upon the wicked their iniquity; and I will put an end to the arrogance of the bold, and I will bring down the pride of the tyrants.

¹² I will make man more precious than pure gold, and rarer than the fine gold of Ophir.

¹³ Therefore I will shake the heavens; and the earth will move from its place because of the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and because of the day of his fiery wrath.

¹⁴ And each one will be like a deer that flees, and like a sheep that no one gathers; each one will return to his people, and each one will flee to his own land.

¹⁵ Everything found will be pierced; and everyone who joins him will fall by the sword.

¹⁶ And his children will be torn to pieces before his eyes; their houses will be plundered, and their women raped.

¹⁷ Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not care for silver, nor will they desire gold.

¹⁸ And their bows will tear the young men to pieces, and they will not have mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not spare their children.

¹⁹ And Babylon, the ornament of kingdoms, the glory and pride of the Chaldeans, will be like Sodom and Gomorrah, when God overthrew them.

²⁰ It will never be inhabited again, nor will anyone live in it from generation to generation; Neither shall the Arab pitch his tent there, nor shall the shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

²¹ But the wild beasts of the desert will rest there, and their houses will be filled with horrible animals; and the ostriches will dwell there, and the satyrs will leap there.

²² And the wild animals of the islands will howl in their empty houses, as well as the jackals in their pleasure palaces; for his time is drawing near, and his days will not be prolonged.

Isaiah 13:1-22



IMAGE TEXT: SOMETIMES THE CHANGE YOU SO WANT IS IN THE DECISIONS YOU DON'T MAKE.


Often, the transformation we seek is linked to allowing God to guide our steps and take the reins of our lives.

In Isaiah 43:19, we are reminded that God does new things. So if you feel like you're stuck in a situation that doesn't make you happy, consider seeking divine guidance. Sometimes change begins when you make the decision to surrender your life, plans, and desires into God's loving hands. Remember that He has a wonderful plan for you, and His wisdom is infinitely greater than ours. 🙌

War is just an opportunity for the antichrist to propose the "Peace agreement". The plan is underway...


THE TIME IS COMING FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO APPEAR...




  - Let no one deceive you in any way; for it will not be so without revealing the man of sin, the son of perdition,

  - Who opposes, and exalts himself against everything that is of the Most High, or worshiped; so that he will sit, like the Creator, in the temple, wanting to appear like the Almighty.

  - so that in its own time it may be manifested.

  - Because the mystery of injustice already operates;

  - And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Son of Man will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and will destroy by the splendor of his coming;

  - To him whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power, and signs and lying wonders,

  - And with all the deceit of injustice for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth to save themselves.

  - And for this reason the Most High will send them the operation of error, so that they believe the lie;

  - So that all who did not believe in the truth but took pleasure in iniquity may be judged.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

 🚨From war WILL come the Peace Agreement and the appearance of the antichrist. It's the establishment of chaos and then coming up with the "solution"⚠️



THE END COMES FOR YOU, O INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH...

  - The time is coming, the day of tribulation has arrived.

  - the end is coming upon you, and I will send My wrath upon you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring upon you all your abominations.

  - nothing will be left of them, neither of their multitude, nor of their rumor, nor will there be lamentation for them.

  - They have already sounded the trumpet, and have prepared everything, but there is no one to go to battle, because My burning anger is upon all their multitude.

  - Outside is the sword, and within is pestilence and famine; whoever is in the field will die by the sword, and whoever is in the city will be consumed by famine and pestilence.

  - And those who flee from them will escape, but they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all groaning, each one because of his iniquity.

  - All hands will weaken, and all knees will be as weak as water.

  - And they will gird themselves with sackcloth, and terror will cover them; and upon all faces there will be shame...

  - Destruction comes; they will seek peace, but there is none.

Ezekiel 7📜

And I saw the Messiah, the son of David, and his generation, and all the fights and wars, and his works and his actions, which they will do to Israel, both for good and for evil. And I saw all the fights and wars that Gog and Magog will fight in the days of the Messiah, and everything that the Creator will do to them at the time of his coming.

3rd ENOCH 47;12-13📜

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but do not be afraid. It is necessary for such things to happen, but it is not the end yet. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All of this will be the beginning of pain.

MATTHEW 24;6-8📜

 🚨 It could be the beginning of the fulfillment of this passage⚠️⚠️⚠️


¹ The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

² Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, prince and leader of Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.

³ And say: Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince and leader of Meshech and Tubal;

⁴ And I will bring you back, and I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will bring you to you, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all dressed in finery, a great multitude, with shield and shield, all wielding the sword;

⁵ Persians, Ethiopians, and those of Put with them, all with shield and helmet;

⁶ Gomer and all his troops; the house of Togarma, from the far north, and all his troops, many people with you.

⁷ Prepare yourself, and prepare yourself, you and all the multitudes of your people who have gathered to you, and serve them as a guard.

⁸ After many days you will be visited. At the end of the years you will come to the land that recovered from the sword, and that was gathered from many peoples, next to the mountains of Israel, which were always deserted; but that land was taken from among the nations, and they will all dwell safely.

⁹ Then you will rise up, you will come like a storm, you will become like a cloud to cover the earth, you and all your troops, and many people with you.

¹⁰ Thus says the Lord GOD: And it will come to pass in that day that words will come into your heart, and you will devise an evil plan,

¹¹ And you will say: I will go up against the land of the unwalled villages; I will come against those who are at rest, who dwell securely; they all dwell without walls, and have neither bars nor doors;

¹² To take the spoil, and to snatch the prey, and to turn your hand against the waste lands that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered together from among the nations, who have acquired cattle and possessions, and dwell in the middle of the earth.

¹³ Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions, will say to you, Are you coming to take the spoil? Have you gathered your crowd to snatch your prey? To take the silver and gold, to take the cattle and goods, to plunder the great booty?

¹⁴ Therefore prophesy, O son of man, and say to Gog: Thus says the Lord GOD: Will you not know in that day, when my people Israel dwell in safety?

¹⁵ Then you will come from your place, from the extreme north, you and many people with you, all riding on horses, a great company and a powerful army,

¹⁶ And you will come up against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. In the last days it will come to pass that I will bring you against my land, so that the Gentiles may know me, when I have sanctified myself in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord GOD: Are you not the one of whom I said in the days of old, through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years, that I would bring you against them?

¹⁸ But it will come to pass on that day, on the day that Gog comes against the land of Israel, says the Lord GOD, that my indignation will rise up to my face.

🚨🚨⚠️¹⁹ For I said in my zeal, in the fire of my wrath, that, certainly, 👉in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel👈;

²⁰ So that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth, will tremble before me; and the mountains will be thrown down, and the cliffs will crumble, and all the walls will fall to the ground.

²¹ For I will call a sword against him on all my mountains, says the Lord GOD; everyone's sword will turn against his brother.

²² And I will contend with him through pestilence and blood; and a deluge of rain, and great hailstones, and fire, and brimstone, I will rain upon him, and upon his troops, and upon many peoples.

Ezekiel 38:1-22
