“Lord, Send Me to Stand Firm in Faith”
Speaker: Jie Delloro
Matthew 24
Jesus warned His disciples that difficult times would come before His return. In Matthew 24, He spoke about the destruction of the temple, wars, famines, earthquakes, deception, persecution, and the growing coldness of people’s love. These are signs that the world is moving toward the fulfillment of God’s plan.
-True faith will be tested
-Believers will experience:
-Persecution and rejection because of following Jesus
-False teachings and deception that can lead people away from truth
-Love growing cold because of sin, pain, and wickedness
-The challenge to continue sharing the Gospel despite fear and opposition
-The message asks deep heart-checking questions:
Ano ang kinatatakutan mong mawala sa buhay mo?
Hanggang saan ang kaya mong panindigan kapag may kapalit na rejection?
It emphasizes that many people fall away when faith becomes difficult, but Jesus calls believers to remain faithful until the end.
What To do?
1. Stand firm during persecution
Faithfulness to Jesus may lead to rejection, mockery, betrayal, or suffering. Believers must not compromise because of fear, pain, or the opinions of others.
2. Guard against deception
False prophets and misleading teachings will increase. Christians must stay grounded in God’s Word and not rely only on trends, social media, or emotional teachings.
3. Do not let your love grow cold
Sin, hurt, and disappointment can harden the heart. God wants believers to continue loving Him and others with genuine, sacrificial love (Agape love).
4. Continue the mission
Before the end comes, the Gospel must be preached to all nations. Every believer has a role in sharing Jesus—through ministry, daily life, or online platforms.
