PERILOUS TIMES 2

Text : 2 Timothy 3:1 

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

Today, we shall start looking at the signs of perilous times one after the other:

 _For People will love only themselves and their money....._  

Jesus clearly stated the second important commandment as loving your neighbour as yourself. He said,

 _"The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”_ Mark 12:31

If you critically look at the second commandment, it presupposes that :

1. You already love yourself.

2. You should extend same love you have for yourself to your neighbour.

3. *Your neighbour should receive as much Love from you, in the same proportion as you love yourself.!* 

Contrary to the second commandment, Apostle Paul told Timothy that people will love *ONLY* themselves and their money. So it is clear, *Loving yourself is not the problem, but loving yourself only.* The narratives for love of yourself only are: *I, Me, Mine* 

 *It is certain that a person who loves himself only, will also love and choose money at the expense of everything and everyone else* 

The second person God wants you to love after Himself is your neighbour. 

The Love of money, the bible says, is the root of all evil. *Money is meant to be used as a tool to achieve good course, and not to be loved .* 1Tim 6:9&10

One of the major problems in our world today is the LOVE FOR SELF and MONEY. 

Be careful not to be an idol to yourself and not to worship money as your Lord and idol; for so many have lost their souls in pursuit of money.1Tim6:9


Bible Reading : 1Timothy 6:6-11.

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...

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
