DAYS OF NOAH

Text : Matthew 24:38. 

In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.

The people in the days of Noah had no history to refer to, they used their lives to form history for us. A number of events that were recorded in the Bible were so recorded so that we can learn from them.

The truth is, this generation is blessed. We are so blessed that we are without excuse.  Romans 2:1 says, *Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.* 

Jesus says, just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.
They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That’s how it will be when the Son of Man comes.Matthew 24:37-39.

In the days of Noah, they were told that flood was coming, but they paid no attention to this message. Now, Jesus is saying the same thing will play out in this generation. 

The message is very simple, this world is coming to an end, only those who are in Christ will be delivered from the looming everlasting destruction. However, unlike the days of Noah, we have their history to refer to. Only eight people were rescued from the flood.

People in the days of Noah considered it impossible for God to wipe out the whole generation with flood. But that was exactly what happened except for the eight people that were saved.

Today, Jesus Christ is the ark of salvation. You must be in this ark and remain there until the end of all things. 2 Peter 3:10 says But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will disappear with a roaring sound, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done on it will be exposed.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, think of the kind of holy and godly people you ought to be. 2 Peter 3:11.

This is the time for you to wake up and pay attention to our master's warning.  *You must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting him.* ”Matthew 24:44.

The end of this age will come to many people the same way it came on men in the days of Noah, Beware! Be prepared!!.Be in Christ!!!.

 *Bible reading:*

 Matthew 24:36-44.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father, I receive the grace to stay ready for my master till the end in Jesus name.

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...
