TEXT 2 TIMOTHY 2:16-19
TOPIC : ENFORCING YOUR FAITH THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
One of the major characteristics of our God is that He does not change.
From generation to generation, He has remained the same.
God's standards also do not change, they remain the same.
The reason we can predict the moves of our God is because He has laid down laws that govern His creations that has remained constant and can be trusted.
These same laws also govern the affairs of Heaven, they are righteous and just.
The prophet/psalmist declares with confidence in Psalms 37:25 "I have been young, and now i am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."
Listen to him carefully, he said, I have not seen the righteous, not the believer forsaken.
Who are the righteous?
Those who have right standing with God.
Remember that His standard has remained the same.
He has not changed because we live in a super Sonic era.
The standards of righteousness in the days of Enoch is the same today, it has not change.
The repulsiveness of God towards David's offensive sin of adultery with Bathsheba and finally his murder of Uriah has not changed because of modernity.
Beloved, be careful what you listen to and what you watch.
Put a strong watch over the gates of your life so that your standards will not be lowered at any time.
God expects us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
