PERILOUS TIMES

Text : 2 Timothy 3:1 

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

You and I (living in the last days) are now being confronted with the perilous times. The cause of this perilous times is nothing but man.

Apostle Paul in 2Timothy 3:1-5 warned Timothy about the perils of the last days.

I will like to encourage you to carefully read through the signs of this perilous times. It is possible you are also living out some of these signs. Hence, God would have you receive grace today for a change of heart, lest you become part of the fulfillment of the perilous times. 

 _...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._ verse 2

 _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. Stay away from people like that!_ 

Do you see yourself exhibiting one or two of the above?. Please note that Paul was not having sinners in mind when he wrote this. All of these signs are the normal lifestyles of anyone without Christ. He was basically concerned about the people in the Church. Book of 2Timothy 3:5-9 confirmed the people Paul had in mind as he wrote to Timothy.

 *While sinners need to repent from their sins, and receive Jesus as their Saviour and Lord, believers also need to wake up from their slumber, deny SELF and carry their cross daily.* 

 *What will make the last days perilous times is not so much about the behaviour of the people in the world but of the people in the church.* 

Bible Reading : 2Timothy 3:1-15.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
