BEFORE THE EVIL DAYS

Text: Ecclesiastes 12:1

Remember now your Creator in the days of your yputh: Before the days of evil come, and the years approach when you will say, "I have no delight in them".

One good reason you are told to remember your Creator in the days of your youth is because of the evil days. That the evil days will come is not negotiable, but what you do before the evil days come is all that counts.

Now, the evil days does not mean some external evil or unfortunate events will befall you. Rather, the evil days is your old age, or your night times.

That is why Jesus said in John 9:4 that He must work the works of Him that sent Him while it is day, because the night comes when no one can work.

With that simple statement, we can deduce what the day time is meant for.

It is to do the works of Him who sent you.

The night for some, may not necessarily mean old age, but the day of death. Jesus died in the flesh before he was 34years. He understood the shortness of the time to the point that when He was giving up the ghost, He boldly declared that " it is finished".

Your preoccupation before the evil days is to walk in the light.Jesus is the Light. In Him is life and the life is the light of men. John 1:4.

Anyone who is not in the Light (Jesus), is in the night time already regardless of his age. He can't work any work whether young or old.

Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1-14.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text: 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things. *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy 4:8. You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy 6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life. When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured. Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3. He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well. Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.* The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically, there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
