AHEAD OF TIME

-
Text: Matthew 24:25

See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

The biggest prophet of all times and seasons is Jesus Christ. If you carefully read His words through all the pages of the bible, you will realise that everything happening now and all that is yet to come has been foretold long ago.

While He was about to leave the earth, He revealed certain things which are yet to take place to His disciples.  

Sometimes, I wonder  why some Christians get easily carried away by the present happenings in our world today. Some others are controlled by the fearful messages given by false prophets whom the Lord has not sent.

As a genuine believer, the scripture and the Holy Spirit should be enough to guide your steps all through your sojourn on this side of eternity.

Most of the fears you are nursing by the reason of the prophecies flying around had already been foretold by Jesus Christ. He's told you about famine, war, rumours of war, increase of false prophets, increase in wickedness e.t.c (Mathew 24).

Therefore, the Lord wants all His children to refrain from fears of all evil and fearful messages flying in the name of prophecy. He wants you to carefully pay attention to all that He has foretold you ahead of time in the scriptures. Any believer who is not well grounded in the prophecy as laid out in the scriptures may likely miss out on God in this end time.

That is the reason you must give yourself wholly to the study of the scripture. *There is no prophecy as stable and sure as that which is contained in the scripture.* 

As a child of God, you must be settled in Jesus' certain and sure prophecy. He said that, *"These things _(prohecies)_ I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."* John 16:33.

There is no single occurrence in our world today that our Lord Jesus Christ had not foretold ahead of time, so, don't be carried away, rather watch and pray.

Bible Reading:

Mathew: 24:1-42.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, give me deep understanding of the scriptures, that I may understand the times we are in.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
