ARE YOU PREPARED?

Text : 2 Peter 3:11

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

One major question that must be in the heart of everyone willing to meet with the Lord is: How prepared am I?

Many are really not ready for the second arrival of our Lord; and that is the reason for the coldness in the church today.

Apostle Peter painted a clear picture of what the end would be. He said in 2 Peter 3:10 that:

1. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; 

2. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise in the day of the Lord.

3. The elements shall melt with fervent heat in the day of the Lord.

4. The earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

In view of the above four(4)major occurrences that would accompany  the day of the Lord; Apostle Peter categorically asked the followers (including you) of the Lord a very important question in verse :
Since all these things are all in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought [each of] you to be  in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities...

God wants us to keep consecrated and holy behaviour during the short time we are staying on this side of eternity.

Do not forget that all labours and energies expended outside of Christ shall burn with this present earth. Wisdom therefore demands that you invest your energies on things that can transcends the present times. 
John 6:27, 2 Cor. 4:18.

Do not forget that you are an eternal being, given a time-bound life opportunity to prepare for a timeless eternity.Be wise to make your life counts for eternity.


Bible Reading : 2 Peter 3: 1-18.

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...
