Global Prayer And Fasting Day 2 July 2026 by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Signs of the end

Matthew 24:14 — the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness, and then shall the end come.

1 Peter 4:7 — "the end of all things is at hand, be therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." He wants you to pray.

The church, by the power of the Holy Spirit, restrains the antichrist system, but only for a time, because we too are given a definite time period to be here. At God's appointed time the trumpet shall sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.

Central bank digital currency and digital ID

When you hear "central bank digital currency," understand it isn't about your country's bank, it's about centralization of power in the hands of a few.

• All the nice, convenient things about the system are what get sold to you — the same way COVID, vaccines, and GMO foods were sold to you
• What they don't tell you: the money will cease to be yours
• Money in its simplest definition is a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value — cash, bank deposits, tangible assets like land, livestock, precious metals
• In a cashless world, if the bank fails, your money — which exists only as digits — can be lost. Ownership becomes conditional, not tangible
• In November 2016, India cancelled its largest denomination bills overnight; around 85% of India's banknotes could no longer be used
• Kenya's central bank set a deadline for exchanging old currency for new
• The vaccine era acted as a bridge to the true focus: the digital ID, connected directly to the human body so fraud isn't possible
• Digital ID becomes required for the right to work, rent, bank, get an education, access child care, or vote
• Bank accounts have already been frozen for political reasons — peaceful protesters in Canada, Nigel Farage in the UK. Vietnam closed 86 million bank accounts and seized the assets of those who wouldn't submit to biometric tracking

Revelation 13:16-17 — the mark in the right hand or forehead, so that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark.

• Central bank digital currency can be made "programmable" — money can be set to expire if not spent, rather than rewarding saving
• Every CBDC transaction is recorded on a centralized ledger; access can be turned on or off instantly, and transactions scrutinized or blocked
• More than 130 countries, representing over 98% of global GDP, are exploring or piloting these systems
• Beyond currency: tokenization of everything — real estate, oil, intellectual property, even the Amazon rainforest by the hectare, all serviced by surveillance and put on a blockchain
• The goal is that "you'll own nothing but be happy" — your equity in your own house could be spent down 0.01% at a time at the checkout counter

What we do about it

Use your money to serve God — put it into the ministry that is keeping the devil's system away from you.

Deuteronomy 28:8 — the Lord shall command a blessing upon thee in thy storehouses.

The only reason the antichrist system hasn't fully moved in is us, the church of Christ — those who know the truth and are bold to use Christ's authority to restrain it through the power of the Holy Spirit, because there is an appointed time.

Matthew 8:28-29 — the two demon-possessed men from the tombs cried out, "art thou come here to torment us before the time?"

• The demons tried to stop Jesus from acting against them, and knew there was an appointed time for their incarceration and punishment — because they had heard the prophets and knew the timeline written in scripture
• During COVID, many thought God was punishing the world, but it wasn't God, it was Satan — and it still wasn't yet the appointed time for the Antichrist to take over
• Jesus gave us authority over Satan and demons, to cast them out and rule over the powers of darkness while we are here

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 — "now you know what is restraining him from being revealed at this time... it is so that he may be manifested in his own appointed time."
