        "But understand this, that in the last days, dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane" (2 Timothy 3:1-2, AMP). There is turmoil all over the lands, wars everywhere, and rumors of war in the air in diverse places. People that once lived in peace suddenly cannot trust each other; suspicion, betrayal, and hatred litter the landscape. All these happenings are all signs of the end time, we know, but how prepared for the End are we?         Many children of God believe they do not have to think of the End because the world will endure for many generations, after all 'it is a world without end'! The reality is one day, we will stand before the Judge of the whole earth and give an accounting of how we...

       Have you ever felt you are not praying enough on your own, especially after going through the prayer points in less than ten minutes? Do you wonder if you are praying enough especially in light of teachings that one must cultivate the habit of praying at least an hour a day? A young man was discussing this dilemma with me; he couldn't see himself praying beyond ten minutes; he felt he had run out of anything to say. Even when he switches to tongues, after a while, he feels a dulling of his senses! He felt something was wrong with him as he is sure he will end up in hell. I told him he may have misunderstood the message that was being passed on in line with the Scriptures. Because it is not the length of the prayer but the weight of it that is important to God!         We are called to pray ceaselessly. Meaning to live a life of Prayer because prayer prepares us for what God has prepared for us. A prayerful person is not necessarily pra...

       Two friends walking along the road discussing the river in their community drying up. They noticed the water level is decreasing daily at an alarming rate. This river is central to the survival of the community; their daily activities and their livelihood are dependent on the river. They were wondering what will become of the community once the water dries up. They may have to move away from the land, thereby losing their ancestral lands, or remain and suffer hunger and untold hardship, they thought. It was a sad and frustrating discussion between them.         Naturally, a river empties into a larger body of water, but it always has a source. When the river is cut off from its source for whatever reason, it begins to dry up because it continues to empty into the larger body of water without being replenished! Sadly, this scenario spiritually is playing out in the lives of many in the Body of Christ as we see the Soon Return of our Lor...

       A group of 6 friends was discussing what goes through the mind of a person a few minutes before their death. Two of them felt the highlights of the life of the person will flash through his mind before he bows out in death. One felt such a person will go to purgatory where such can repent of his sins and believe God to go to Heaven. The others believe nothing will happen as the person will just fade out and be one with the universe. According to the first two, if the memories are good then such will end in heaven as they will die happy, but if bad, they will end in hell so they die sad and terrified. Some felt this was wrong as man is dust and he will return to dust - a state of 'nothingness'.         They  all agreed and felt they should enjoy life as much as possible, on their terms and not on someone else's. They reminded themselves of the following Scripture so they can be strengthened in their sinful lives: "Both go to the sa...

       As the world spirals to a close and many in the Church are trying to play 'catch-up' with it, one can only wonder, do these children of God trying to play 'catch up' truly know and understand the God they claim to serve? Many, in trying to fit into the mold of the world are quick to come up with excuses for the people outside of the Kingdom, so such do not feel condemned or left out. Of course, these children of God don't want to come across as being judgmental or critical of their sinning neighbors and friends.         Sadly, under our watch, because of this tolerance for evil and the works of darkness, many things that ought to be seen as sin are renamed to make them tolerable! We forgot that our mandate was for us to go make 'disciples' of the nations, to teach them the life of Christ. Sadly, the world is the one mentoring the sons of God to be 'like' them because of their successes, especially in the financial field! It then become...

      "I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense" (Proverbs 7:7 HCSB). We have entered once more the season when many will lose their senses and throw caution to the wind in the guise of celebrating 'love'. Sadly, many at this time will stumble, misstep, and fall on their way to destiny; as a result, many will miss their path completely because of a few minutes of pleasure in celebrating 'love': "So she seduced him with her pretty speech and enticed him with her flattery. He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter. He was like a stag caught in a trap, awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart. He was like a bird flying into a snare, little knowing it would cost him his life" (Proverbs 7:21-23 NLT).         For as many as have eternity in their hearts, they know that Heaven and Hell are REAL. It is a place everyone on earth will end up in after they exit this life. Our actions here o...

       There is an urgency in the air! Though masked as climate change experiences, the world systems and western governments have concluded that time is running out for the people on earth. Their reasons, their conclusion, and solutions may be very outstretched, but one thing they got right is that time is indeed running out for the people of the world!         At a particular point in time, as prophesied by Prophets of old, God came down as man and made His dwelling among people, to turn them from their wicked ways into right standing with Him. At this time, we were told that He loved the whole world and He gave His Son to die for it. For as many as believe and receive Him, He gave them the power to be His sons, and they are saved! He was crucified, dead, and buried, and He rose again with the promise that He would return!         For as many, as believed and received Him, there is a state of readiness we must be in...
