OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH 2017- PERILOUS TIMES ARE HERE

Memorise: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 1:4.
Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-5
1.This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Bible in one year : Genesis 3-5, Isaiah 41:21-42:9

AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL

1. With all that we see happening in different parts of the world today, it is no longer news that we are already in perilous times
2. It is very urgent that we maximise the times that we have left in propagating the gospel of the Lord to those who are yet to know Him.
3. In this modern age , where people are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, believers must watch against satanic wiles and temptations.
4. Let us remain in the simple gospel of Jesus which is capable of seeing us through to the very end.
5. Those who go to church today only get excited when they are told what they want to hear.
6. In order not to be caught unawares, you must prepare yourself daily through self examination.
7. The emeny of your soul is out there, seeking how to devour you; don’t allow him to truncate your destiny.
8. Ensure that you make no provision for the flesh, and put out all the works of darkness around you , Be prepared for His second coming.

SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS

The coming of Jesus the second time is not a joke, believers must be aware of this profitable notice that have been preached, that is being preached and will continue to be preached until the entire world hears the gospel . According to the word of God, many believers fail to reach out to those that are unsaved and expects Jesus to come soon, forgetting that we are the one delaying His coming. If we read Matthew 24:14 ” And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” this meaning of that verse is that Christ awaits you to reach out to all nations then the end will come, that is why it is a mandate for us to go and spread the news across every nation. However, with all that we see happening around the world today, false prophets arising, wars here and there etc, these are enough signals to inform you that the perilous times are here. God bless our Father Pastor E.A Adeboye and equip him with greater wisdom to impact us more in Jesus name.

Prayer Point
Father, fill me with the consciousness of the second coming of Christ at all times.
HYMN
Wonderful story of love;
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love;
Wake the immortal strain!
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, oh, won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love.
Refrain:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful, wonderful story of love.
Wonderful story of love;
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love;
Still He doth call today;
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal-bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation,
Wonderful story of love.
Wonderful story of love;
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love;
For all the pure and blest,
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus,
Wonderful story of love.
