THE LAST DAYS 3

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

What King James version of the bible refers to as 'perilous' is also known as difficult times. So, don't be perturbed, if you are aware that we are in the last days, then you should know that we are in difficult times.

A number of features characterised this difficult times. Now, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are not caught in any of these features.

Number one on the list as we have it in our Bible reading is self -love. Our world today is canvasing seriously for this self-love. Some years back, people celebrate you on your birthday, but today, we see things like "happy birthday to me". "I celebrate myself today", and so on.

Now, it is good to have healthy self-love, which includes taking care of yourself, and knowing your worth in God. But to go overboard is to become a lover of self above God.

To be a “lover of self” means to have an excessive, unhealthy focus on oneself. That is, placing personal desires, interests and comfort above God and others.

Among other things, self love includes:
 *Self-centeredness* - Always putting yourself first.
 *Pride and arrogance* - Thinking you are more important than others.
 *Lack of concern for others* - Having little compassion or empathy.
 *Living for personal gain* -Decisions driven mainly by “What benefits only you”
 *Rejecting correction* -Not willing to admit wrong or grow.

 *A lover of self thinks only about himself and places himself above God and others, a Godly person puts God first  and considers others in all he does.* 

Don't live your life fulfilling negative prophecies, see to it that none of the signs of end time is playing out in your life.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

2 Timothy 3:1-9.
.
 *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...

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...
