THE LAST DAYS - 2

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”

One major warning from the Spirit of God concerning these last days is the danger of deception.

While speaking in Gospel of Matthew 24 about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. *For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”* (Matthew 24:4–5).

It should not surprise you that there are many false prophets and teachers in these last days, they are simply fulfilling prophecy.

However, what you must guard against is becoming one of the many who are deceived.

One major tool of deception is false teachings. The Word of God describes such teachings as doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1).

Beloved, beware. The devil is not trying to deceive those who already belong to him,  they are already captured. His target is God’s children. And one of his quickest strategies is to misuse the Word of God itself.

When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he quoted Scriptures to Him. If he attempted to use the Word against the Author of the Word Himself, then you must remain vigilant.

In these last days, many preachers of eloquent but empty messages have gathered crowds to themselves. See to it that you are not taken captive by their craftiness.

The second Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians 2:9–10 captures this clearly:
"The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders,  and every type of evil to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them.

It is clear that the only safeguard against these miracle-performing, lying and deceptive teachers is to love the truth of God’s Word.

First Epistle of Peter 2:2 instructs us to desire the sincere milk of the Word, that we may grow thereby.
You will ultimately receive what you desire. If you hunger and thirst for truth, God will satisfy your heart desires and deliver you from the corruption of this age.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

1 Timothy 4:1–6.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, in a world filled with deception and compromise, open my spiritual eyes and sharpen my discernment. Help me to hear Your Spirit clearly and obey promptly, 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...
