Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-9 (King James Version
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, thankful,
unholy,
3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despise rs of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high minded lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do
these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the
faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly
shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 (King James Version)
You should always be worried
about your end why because your beginning has already begun. The bible says that
“the earth is the Lords’ which means He is the owner, Creator, LORD and Master
of all that there is... Any creator must have pre-existed whatever he created.
Having said this, Jesus taught his disciples how to pray to the Father in
secrete in math 6:10 where he said “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven” so the will of the Father on earth can never be different from
that which is in heaven yet what do we see today as part of end times revelations?
Is it not Godlessness in the End times?
People are walking the earth as if there is no God, as if they
are the only wise men who own all things. Note that whatever has a beginning
has an end and whatever God will do he says it first. This is the issue we are
dealing with now because there is judgment ahead of us all. Of late, what we
hear recently is the phrase (human
rights) .
They say human rights but
are always going to the left like practicing sodomy which is Godlessness any
way. Bible predictions or prophecies have warned us of the coming apostasy which
is Godlessness in the last days a sign of course. Now let’s consider the
following signs of the end times which are already with us
The coming apostasy or dangerous times
Godlessness is the belief that there is no God and
apostasy is the Abandonment or renunciation of one's religion, belief in Jesus
Christ or morals. Paul described the last days as the intensification of
perilous, difficult, troublesome or dangerous times in his prophecy. We have so
much violence
Times are very rough and hard, people are facing
more financial difficulties all over the world while some are being fussed to
do very wicked things to just to survive.
We can describe our times as perilous,
dangerous and troublesome. We are living
in an age when it is Dangerous for men to live for God.
Those who practice
Righteousness are called
intolerant, bigoted,
Narrow minded, anti-social and
are labeled dangerous.
While those who practice
deviant, sinful lifestyles are
Praised and labeled heroes
by society.
The way men shall live in the end times
In these last days, Paul
described how men shall be lovers of themselves which is tantamount to
selfishness. This attitude is rather on
the increase today. People who love themselves tend to be very dangerous to others
because these characters do not care how you feel; they are very wicked and
Godless. Such are those who can carry out suicide bombings on others and
innocent children not thinking about the effect on
their families because it is
not them. Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself meaning put yourself in
the shoes of your neighbor. This in effect is a behavior in substitution. As I
write, doctors are on strike at the moment in my country and patients are dying
in their numbers but guess what? It is all because of money. I bet you would see the same people on
Sundays in the church walking, siting and singing sanctimoniously like angels.
Hatred, racism and nepotism are all part of the end times signs.
A high ranking officer of a
very reputable church was narrating an alleged incidence to me seeking my
advice; where he said a pastor, in choosing new candidates to serve as pastors in his
church insulted him and called him a fool just for asking a relevant question. He further stated that this same pastor, in
another incident claimed he does not practice democracy but theocracy meaning
acting as a semi- god and whatever he says is final. So the offended wanted to
be advised as to what to do since he cannot take it seeing this same pastor in
the pulpit preaching to him. He sees him as fake and a false pastor. So you
see, even pastors and believers can be caught in the signs of the last days net
likewise you. It is a warning to everyone to be guarded. What do you think God
would do to such a selfish pastor in case his actions results in producing backsliders?
Because the guy was wondering if the pastor already had something against him
all this time or had a bone to pick with him. I said these are some of the
casualties a Christian soldier suffers. God have mercy. (Phil
2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than you.)

2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility

To be covetous is to want so much for you something
that belongs to others. People who are covetous mostly are people who like
money and can even kill for that sake; they are greedy bastards who have red
eyes for what belongs to their neighbor to take it over to add to what they
already have. David was one of them in the Old Testament where he master minded
the killing of Uriah just to possess his wife for lust sake. This type of
behavior is prevalent in these last days in which we are living in. Are you one
of these characters? Or are you one of the little red devils: agents of the
devil playing this part? As a testimony, I had a friend purported to be a
believer who although as a bank manager was undermining me to my boss in order to
take over my job but his plans were thwarted by God and I was rather blessed as
never before in my life by God as I sit writing. Try to be Godly and not
Godless in these e prophetic end times.
God has ways of taking care of his children. Fear of
the unknown n is what drives men to act covetously. Lovers of money – Heb.
13:5; 1 Tim. 6:10 (Ill. 1 John 2:15) (Ill. God's plan is that we worship God,
love other people and use things. When our priorities become skewed, we start
to worship ourselves, ignore God, love things and use other people. This is the
formula for defeat in life.)
Traitors – People who betray others and break friendship just to get their way. These people will lie, cheat, steal and crush anyone who dares get in their way. Basically, people will possess no loyalty except to themselves! Traitors normally are the aids of covetous men and are very loyal to them. Note that a traitor is more dangerous than an enemy. They are Heady – Reckless, rash, acting without reasonable thought. This is a lifestyle that does as it pleases without regard for the consequences.
Lovers
Of Pleasure More Than Lovers Of God – Those who love the
pleasures of the world more than God are on the increase. Recently some people
were having pleasure in a discotheque when fire engulfed the building and
killed as many of them that were in. I believe that most of them were Christians
who were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
2 Tim 3:5 says such
people are having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away.
9 But they shall
proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs
also was.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 (King
James Version)
In conclusion,
Godlessness as picked and talked about above would land people and unbelievers
not only in hell but also in the lake of fire as their final destination when
Jesus returns again. Be careful about how you live your life on his earth that
he created.
