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.

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...

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
