PERILOUS TIME

-


Text:  2 Timothy 3:1 

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come . 

The perilous(difficult) time which Apostle Paul wrote about is already here. Perilous times are times characterize by Gross disobedience to God. The devil knows that he has but short time before his final  judgement, hence he is working hard to kill, steal and destroy. Rev. 12:12, John 10:10

The features and signs  of the last days are vividly pointed out in the scripture(2Tim 3:2-8)

People will love only themselves and their money.

 *They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God,disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful* .

 *They will consider nothing sacred* .

 *They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control.*

 *They will be cruel and hate what is good* .

 *They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.* 

 *They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly* . 

Paul sternly warned that you stay away from people exhibiting such as mentioned above. And if you are caught in the web of these perilous times features, then you need to ask God to help and deliver you.

..Stay away from people like that! 2Tim 2:5

Let me say to you that Paul was not writing to unbelievers. He was not saying that Timothy and the church should stay away from unbelievers. Rather, he was referring to those inside the church. He mentioned  that these people will *act religiously, but they will reject the power that could make them godly* 2Tim 3:5

The Lord will have you check your life today for proper adjustment.

Bible reading: 2Timothy 3:1-9

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
