In recent years, scientists have been raising alarm over global warming and how the earth is rapidly heading towards the worst catastrophe in human history. This warning of a coming apocalypse has prompted some of the richest people on earth to start making plans of escape to other planets. With increasing technological advances, there has been plans to make Mars habitable for humans.
Though water on Mars is scarce, and there is less water there than in the Earth’s driest deserts, scientists say it is possible to grow food, make breathable air and harvest energy from solar panels.
Space travel companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX are set to facilitate the growth of the human presence on Mars. Their vision is that by 2040 there should be a thriving colonial Martian town.
But the bottom line is that only the wealthy will have the means to move to Mars. Travel tickets for the 6 month journey to Mars is about half a million dollars per person. Then it would take 15 launches of the largest payload rockets to get enough food water air and basic necessities to live there for a couple years. In other words, anyone unable to afford the expensive relocation to Mars would have to be stuck on earth in the case of an apocalypse.
Therefore, our hope of escape in these last days is in building a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.
Just as Noah built an ark of safety from the flood, Jesus is the ark that will deliver men from the wrath to come. We purchase our ticket to that Ark through the spiritual investment of spending time in studying the Word, prayers and fasting.
Jesus said in Luke 21:36 ‘Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man’
The main purpose of praying and fasting is to draw us closer to God and develope deeper intimacy with Him that guarantees the flow of other blessings into our lives.
A strong relationship with God is what will enable us to live in dominion and power and occupy until Jesus comes. We are not permitted to live in defeat or mediocrity because Jesus is coming for a glorious Church, without spot or wrinkle. The last days is our time for living in holiness, breaking forth on every side and flourishing despite the hard times. While gross darkness covers the earth, glory will cover the Church.
Therefore in this season of prayers, let us be deliberate in building greater intimacy with God, so that we can be empowered to go forth this year to do exploits and take territories for Christ.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to persevere in prayers and to continually seek You with all of my heart so that I can be empowered to do exploits for You this year in Jesus Name.
