Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 3: 1-5
Memory Verse: But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 Timothy 3:1 (NIV)
There are 4 principal enemies of Man: the devil, sin, world, and flesh. Most times, it is easier to work against the devil than to work against the various works of the flesh.
What could make a young girl sell her virginity for money? What could make a lady sleep with animals? What could make people sing and dance naked in broad day light? Many hospitals and hotels have become satanic snares. Sibling rivalry powered by envy is on the rise.
What could make two teenagers kill their parents in order to inherit their properties? There are many young ladies who will do anything from sleeping with movie producers or movie directors in order to become a TV star. All some ladies want to become a baby mama to a big boy in the music industry. What could make a lady fully aware that a guy is dating many other ladies, yet continue in such sinful relationship. There are many pious Christian ladies who, because of the material gains or pressures of this world married an unbeliever.
Yahoo, Yahoo plus, Yahoo plus plus are all rampant amongst primary, secondary, and tertiary school students. Young ladies are now leaders of killer squads. Unruly behaviour from children to parents. Betrayals amongst best friends. Backbiting, adultery, fornication, hatred, quick rich schemes, money rituals, etc. The heart of men are becoming increasingly hard to do evil.
How do I guard against the spirit of the end-time:
1. Be genuinely born again (John 3:3).
2. Be ready to suffer for your faith if needed.
3. Walk in the spirit (Gal. 5:16).
4. Watch your company of friends (1 Cor. 15:55).
5. Be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8). 6. Die to flesh (1Cor.15:31).
Quote: And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” – 1 Peter 4:18 (NIV)
Prophetic Decree: The spirit of the anti-Christ shall not catch up with your soul, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
