GOD'S STANDARD

Text : 2 Timothy 2:19.

 *Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.* 

It is possible to think that the all-merciful God cannot condemn anyone to eternal punishment. Yet He says expressly in  Revelation 20:15 that Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. This is exactly what will happen at the close of day.

Again, Matthew 25:46 says these people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

It is very possible to think that God cannot do what He did with the Earth's populace in the time of Noah any longer. Yet, He completely destroyed everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah after the flood experience, except for Lot and his children.

The God that wiped away the Earth's populace in the time of Noah (saving only Noah and his household) with flood is still on the throne, His standards has not changed.

The God that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire is still on the throne, He has not reduced His standards.

He is a merciful God and He is a consuming fire. He is patient with us in this generation not because He has lowered His standards of holiness and righteousness, but so we could have opportunity to repent.

2 Peter 3:9 says, *The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to repent.* 

"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." 2 Peter 3:10.

God will not reduce His standard in any way. He is God, He remains the same. Don't be swayed by the prevailing decadence in our world, uphold the standard of God in everything you do.

*BIBLE READING* : 

 2 Peter. 3:1-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, please keep me safe from the corruption in this world till you return 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...

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
