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.

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...
