SOUND DOCTRINE

Text: 2 Timothy 4:3

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

Apostle Paul strictly warned Timothy to preach the word and to be ready in season  and out of season, because a time would come when people would no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.

We are currently in the time Apostle Paul  talked and warned Timothy about. It is progressively becoming more and more difficult for people to endure sound teachings of the word of God today.

 *Today, many a people are no longer willing to subscribe to wholesome teachings as they have grown itching ears.*  They prefer to follow their own desires and search for teachers who will tell them what they want to hear.

Many in our churches today only seek to hear what they desire to hear and not what the Lord wants to say.  So, pastors are being pressed and pressured to Preach what the members wants to hear.

 *The itchy-ear Christians have raised for themselves teachers and prophets who teach and prophesy what they want to hear.*  They are not willing to listen to wholesome and sound teachings because they have itching ears. Hence, such people are  fulfilling the end time prophecy. 

You must be very cautious and careful not to be part of this end time prophecy. 
One of the ways to discern if you are tending towards this prophecy of itchy-ear  folks, is by constantly checking your reactions and responses to God's commands as compared to His promises. 

People that pursue and emphasise more of God's promises over God's commands are likely to be resistant to wholesome teachings.

They simply forget that *God's promises are by-product of God's commands.* 

 *Always seek to obey His commands and His promises shall drop on your laps.* 

Bible  Reading:2Timothy 4:1-8.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please grant me the ear and heart to listen and to keep on listening to sound doctrines.

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...
