THE LAST DAYS - 2

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” One major warning from the Spirit of God concerning these last days is the danger of deception. While speaking in Gospel of Matthew 24 about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. *For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”* (Matthew 24:4–5). It should not surprise you that there are many false prophets and teachers in these last days, they are simply fulfilling prophecy. However, what you must guard against is becoming one of the many who are deceived. One major tool of deception is false teachings. The Word of God describes such teachings as doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). Beloved, beware. The devil is not trying to deceive those who already belong to him,  they are already captured. His target is God’s children. And one of his quic...

THE LAST DAYS

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1.  “ Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The Spirit of God is speaking expressly, clearly, and specifically. The question is: Are you hearing clearly? One of the unmistakable warnings about the last days is that many will abandon the faith. This departure from faith will not always be dramatic or sudden; sometimes it begins subtly, - a compromise here, a neglected prayer life there, a gradual tolerance for falsehood and so on.  *To ignore what the Spirit is saying is to place yourself at a spiritual disadvantage point.* When God warns, it is not to frighten you but to prepare and preserve you. The first caution here is against abandoning your faith. Faith is not passive; it must be guarded and nurtured. The Bible tells us in Jude 1:3 to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” 'Contending' implies efforts, vigilan...

RENEWING YOUR MIND

Text: Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The mind is the centre of thoughts, the seat of emotions, the storehouse of memory, and the source of imagination. It produces all these with the help of your brain activity. The mind refers to  the thoughts, feelings and consciousness that arise from the brain's activity.  The brain is like the computer hardware, while the mind is the software. You can see and touch the computer hardware but you can't touch the software. That's the best analogy for the operations of your brain and your mind. So, when you see a mad man, people will often say, he's lost his mind. The brain (hardware) is there, but the mind(software) is no longer functioning well anymore.  *When you want to change a man's life, you need to change his mind - his centre of thought* . The scripture sometimes use the heart...

YOU WERE HEALED-2

Text : 1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. Just as Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the tree, so also he took our infirmities and bare our Sicknesses. (Matthew 8:17). The scripture says you were healed because your healing already took place thousands of years ago. All you have to do now is to take delivery of your healing. Once upon a time, a man sick of palsy was brought to Jesus to be healed.  Jesus said to him, Son, be of good cheer, you have been forgiven of your sins. When the Scribes heard this, they said within themselves, this man blasphemes. (Matthew 9:1-3). It's obvious from the above that the Scribes ascribed the power to forgive sins only to God. Our Lord Jesus Christ then replied the people: "...That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth," he said to the sick of the palsy, "arise, take u...

YOU WERE HEALED

Text : 1 Peter 2:24   *Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.**  The great physician and healer, - our Lord Jesus Christ is willing and available to heal you. He is willing to heal you within and without.  As you trust Him today,  may you find total healing for your spirit, soul and body in Jesus name. Today, we shall be looking at the invitation Jesus gave to everyone that is hurting. Jesus invited all: " *Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28(BBE)".*  This is not just a scripture for sinners but for all that are sick as well. *If you are sick and burdened with infirmities, the first thing you need to do is to approach Jesus for a touch.*  The woman with the issue of blood is a good example of a hurting fellow who touched the LORD Jesus Christ in Faith and she got her he...

BE A GOOD EXAMPLE

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:12. “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” God is looking for willing vessels who will represent Him well here on earth. In a world where standards are falling and where compromise is common, believers are called to stand out as living examples of Christ. Apostle Paul instructed Timothy not to allow anyone to look down on him because of his youth. Instead of arguing, and proving himself by force, or seeking validation from men, Timothy was to prove his maturity through character. *Your lifestyle should silence criticism and not validate it.*  Being a good example begins with your words. What you say must reflect Christ. Speak life, speak truth, and speak with grace. Your conversation, that is, your daily conduct,  should align with your confession of faith.  *Christianity is not only what we declare in church; it is what we demonstrate at home, at work...

WAIT ON THE LORD.

TEXT: Isaiah 40:31. “ But those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;  they shall walk and not faint. As long as we live in this human body of flesh and blood, our strength will at times be exhausted.  Life’s pressures, responsibilities, disappointments, and daily struggles can drain even the strongest person. No one is immune to moments of weakness, fatigue, or discouragement. Therefore, everyone needs renewed strength in order to finish well and finish strong. Many people rely on different methods to remain energetic, youthful, and relevant. Physical exercise, motivational talks, social validation, or material success are some of these methods.  While these may help temporarily, the Word of God reminds us that even the youth,  those at their peak of physical energy, will still grow weary and faint.  Human strength has limits. However, there is a divine secret to unending ...
