INGRATITUDE

Text : 2Tim 3:2 ISV 

*People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,* 

 *Doesn't it marvel you to know that ingratitude is a sign of end time? Just ask yourself, how many times have you been ungrateful in the past?*

I know you know the meaning of gratitude, but permit me to spell out what the dictionary meaning is nonetheless.

Gratitude is the state of being thankful or appreciative. That is, ingratitude is a lack or absence of gratitude and thanklessness. 

No known human culture or religion teaches people to be ungrateful. So the question is, where is ingratitude coming from, and why is it on the increase? 

Well, the answer is straight and simple, ingratitude is one of the features of the end time.

Human behaviors are fashioned and regulated by spirits. *If you are not being influenced by the Holy Spirit, you are being influenced by the evil spirits, no middle ground.* 

Anyone who is not in Christ is being governed by spirit of the prince of the air. 

 _Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:_ Eph 2:2.

This spirit is responsible for the lusts in man, it is also responsible for the desires, thoughts patterns, behaviors, trends and fashion of a natural man. 

 *No one can escape the the operations of this end time spirit except through Christ Jesus* . 

Note that this warning is going out to those who are in Christ Jesus 

 (those outside Christ are already captured, the only way out is to run to Jesus). This is because if you are not watchful, you can easily be overtaken by the end time spirit. 

That's why Jesus told us to _Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak._ Mat 26:41.

Don't flow with the trend. Don't mix with the multitude. *COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD.* 

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. Eph 4:17.

Remember, that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Rom. 5:20. You can receive the Grace to be thankful always.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
