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 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...
