Ultimate Things In Bible Prophecy...An Introduction.


To a great extent, men love prophecy and love to be prophesied to.

They love to hear someone tell them what will happen in the future & what the future holds for them; yet the very poor attitude of men even christians, to prophetic scriptures of truth which clearly show what the future holds, and the negligence of the Spirit of truth(the HolySpirit), whom Jesus said will show us things to come, exposes a great deal of what a very complex & confused creature man has become upon the earth.

- John 16:13 & Revelation 1:1-3.


What does man really want?

Today even in christendom & in the name of Christ, man deliberately ignores the truth of scripture while vigorously & energetically pursuing lies that suit his vain religious fancy; forsaking the fountain of living waters & hewing for himself cisterns that cannot hold water.

- Jeremiah 2:13.


How in the name of christianity & many so called prophetic christian programs, are the ultimate things in bible prophecy, concerning the future & destiny of all things, no longer in view in the church today?


Why has a charade of the prophetic taken center stage today with many christian congregations being entertained by so called prophets & teachers, prophesying & teaching things which have nothing to do with bible prophecy?


Howcome much of what the church today has been espoused to in the name of the prophetic or prophecy, is so mundane & petty with so called prophets prophesying about the result of football matches, people having their testimonies by receiving money alerts, getting married, getting a job, buying a new car, building a house etc?


Where is the true spirit of prophecy? where is the testimony of Jesus in all these ephemeral things centering on the people and their lusts/the good life they want & seek to live upon the earth?

- Revelation 19:10.


How has the concern & burden of the church today even in prayer/intercessory ministry become largely centered on having a good life of prosperity & longevity here on earth, with very little or no concern for eternity & the life hereafter?

- 1st Corinthians 15:19.


How did we get here, where much of what is called christianity today is merely physical with christians looking for & seeking things that are seen(material/temporal glory/fame) & not the eternal?

- 2nd Corinthians 4:18.


What happened to seeking things above where Christ is seated at the righthand of God & not things upon the earth?

- Colossians 3:1-2.


How did we arrive at this juncture in the last days/very critical moments in time when we should, more than ever, be looking for a saviour from heaven who will change/transform our vile bodies, seeing that our salvation is now nearer than when we believed? 

- Ephesians 5:15-16; Romans 13:11-12 & Philippians 3:20-21.


The answer to all these lies in bible prophecy; that which is largely neglected and even despised by many in christendom today.


Scripture long foretold that a time will come when many in christendom will not be able to bear or endure sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned aside to give heed to fables.  

- 2 Timothy 4:3-4.


The Spirit of truth in the scripture of truth also foretold that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, paying attention to deceiving spirits and teachings inspired by devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised in their own conscience. 

- 1st Timothy 4:1-2.


These questions and a lot more will be answered as we meditate & navigate through the series on "Ultimate Things In Bible Prophecy".

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
