THEME: BEWARE OF ANTICHRISTS THIS SEASON
Greetings beloved people of God. I welcome you to "My Catholic Homily Digest". On this Thirty First and last day of December 2020, I wish to reflect with us on the theme: " Beware of Antichrists this Season". Beloved, permit me to use this opportunity to congratulate you for making it to the end of this year. It is neither by power nor by might, but by my Spirit says the Lord God of hosts. Beloved, even as I heartily congratulate you for surviving the difficulties that came with this year, As a priest of God, I wish to warn you to be careful of the kind of house of prayer or voice of prophecy that you allow to lead you into the coming year. From every satanic and antichrist prayer houses and evil laden prophecies deliver us oh Lord.
Beloved in Christ, judging from the tone of voice and contextual background of the community in which St. John wrote his first letter, we get the feeling that the Original Gospel of Christ has been bastadised and adulterated by fake and dangerously evil individuals, who parade themselves as preachers, pastors, prophets and seers like the Nicolaitanes, Simon Magnus, Cerinthus, Diotrephes, and Philetus. More so, in the first reading of today, 1John 2:18-21, St. John refers to these "scavengerous" gospel mongers as antichrists and enemies of the faith because the motive of their preaching and prophesying is advertently anti-Christian. They are deceivers, who are only interested in cheap popularity, fame, fat tithes and new year offering collection. So I beg of you, do not allow the temporal and passing conditions of this year, to make you to fall prey to their lying lips and deceptive prophecies. You have been feed and trained in the true knowledge of God in the Catholic Church by your priests, do not throw this precious gift away just for a sweet sounding pot of porridge as Esau did.
Child of God, instead of making frenzied search for a powerful prayer house to spend the crossover night, into 2021 as you have always done in the past. I wish to encourage you in the light of the prevailing scourge of Corona Virus and its consequent reatrictions, sit quietly and take a look at how you spent this year. Count the number of opportunities that slipped through your fingers, mark the mistakes you made, record the good you failed to carry out, write down the good things you achieved, reflect on how your relationship with God went, take note of those you have offended and thank God for the privileges you enjoyed as you meditatively ask him to take charge of the coming year as he promised (Prov. 3:5-6).
Oh that today you would listen to his voice harden not your hearts (Ps.95:7-8).
Do not be afraid for you will be remembered in my priestly prayers throughout this month. God bless you
