By King Amoah.
In recent years, many nations, including our own, have faced significant economic challenges.
From rising unemployment rates and inflation to the increasing cost of living, the impact of these economic hardships is felt by everyone, especially the most vulnerable in society.
Amidst this turmoil, Rev. David Armstrong, the founder and leader of the Mo Mary Fellowship in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, has drawn a thought-provoking connection between these economic difficulties and the end-time prophecies found in the Bible.
Rev. Armstrong suggests that the current state of the economy is not just a result of poor governance or global trends, but may also hold a deeper, prophetic significance.
In an interview the man of God, he believes that the hardships we face are indicative of a world in transition, as prophesied in Scriptures.
However, rather than succumbing to despair or inaction, he encourages individuals and communities to adopt a more positive mindset and take proactive steps towards economic reform.
According to the pastor, the book of Matthew states, Jesus speaks of times when nations will rise against each other and great tribulations will come upon the Earth.
(Matthew 24:6-7). Many believers interpret these signs as indicators of the end times.
Rev. Armstrong posits that the economic struggles we are witnessing today may be part of this larger spiritual narrative.
He emphasizes that while prophecies may hint at difficult times ahead, they also provide an opportunity for reflection and a call to action for believers.
“You cannot change the course of events dictated by prophecy, but you can change your personal and communal response to it,” states Rev. Armstrong.
He urges the faithful not to wait idly for a better future to manifest but to take actionable steps in their lives and communities.
Rev. Armstrong advocates for a fundamental shift in mindset, urging citizens to transform their perspectives from one of victimhood to one of empowerment.
He encourages individuals to stop merely discussing the issues at hand and instead focus on becoming part of the solution.
Economic hardships should not lead to despair but serve as a catalyst for innovation, entrepreneurship, and community solidarity.
“We must stop worrying the authorities while hoping for divine intervention and instead take initiative ourselves.
The Bible teaches us that faith without works is dead (James 2:26). It’s time to act,” he emphasized.
