Spiritual Eye And Strength In The Last Days

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." 2 Ti 3:1-5 We are living in the end times where godlessness prevails. In the constantly changing situation in life and the disheartening moments, can you see the Lord who stands by your side and give you strength? Yet Paul had the spiritual eye and strength which all people in this world would yearn to have, because he could always see the God who has always been working faithfully at the background. Restore the spiritual eye and strength through the complete gospel today. The spiritual power of a remnant to stand against the godlessness comes not from his determination but the truth he knows, confirmed and inscribed in his heart.

The Path Of Success VS Failure


“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

  • Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
  • Perspective different (opposite) from God.
  • Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
  • Bad choices come with consequences.
  • How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

  • A choice based on faith.
    – Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
    – Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
  • Faith gives rise to simple heart.
  • Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
    – Prayer-centered living
  • Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
