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.

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...
