ENOCH'S EXAMPLE TO THIS LAST GENERATION




We are living in such a time when mankind is growing increasingly ungodly  and the society is  becoming so much revolutionized; advanced technology , post-modern entertainment  industry which evidentially glorify the mysterious  and exhilarating lifestyle of the rebel-his  defiant and witty, violent and sexual, rich and playful, Utterly godlessness, not forgetting  the adverts   of half –dressed celebrities , parading the sin of an independent  immoral life style to arouse lust  and discontentment,  and a grievous  therapeutic confusion eating across  our society.  The world continues to grow darker and darker and colder; a simple reminder of the pre-floods Spiritual state of the world in the days of Noah. This our last generation, have awarded and rebelled against  obedience  to God’s words , Apostle Paul brings this fact about  The Character of Men in the Last Days “ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof : from such turn away.”
2 Timothy 3:1-5.
Leaving all that to take care of itself, the Rebel have disguised himself as an angel of light  and carried with himself  all the world’s system of sin into the church. Sin and rebellion, have taken the world captive, the world is dying. A savior is needed and the savior is The Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself  freely, and paid the price in full for the redemption of those who truly believe in Him. He is the only hope.

ENOCH AN EXAMPLE TO THIS LAST GENERATION

            Enoch is in sense, a picture of the bride of Christ. Enoch “walked with God for  three hundred years” Genesis 5:22-24,and then He was translated  without testing death. In other words ,he was no more, meaning he was taken to be with God. “Enoch walked  with God,” Genesis  5:24. In essence, the original Hebrew  meaning  of the word  walked  implies  that Enoch established  himself  in a sense of God’s  presences by continually  conversing with Him. Enoch went  up and down, to and fro, in and out, arm in arm  with God, continually conversing with Him and growing closer to Him each and every new  day. In the midst of the  wicked generation, Enoch learnt how to live pleasingly to the Father. He was no more than an ordinary man with the same problems and tribulations we face  today, but we are told that  he walked with God for three hundred years. Despite the horrible sinful world he was in, Enoch made three hundred years faithfully, this is remarkable.
Enoch was a man of faith, “it was faith that kept Enoch from dying, instead he was taken to God , and  nobody could find  him, because God  had taken him up, he had pleased God,” (Hebrew 11:5)  Nobody can please God without faith, for  whoever comes  to God must have faith that HE IS and exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. Faith is the Language of eternity and without it, it is  impossible to please God and to be His company. Enoch believed in the true God, and that  pleased the true God. As a true believer, it is always important to obey the still small voice in our hearts for if we defy the Holy Spirit he abuse Him and we reduce our chances of being saved. If we could check all throughout history of the bible, those who walked closely with God became men and women of  deep faith.
 Enoch’s generation was growing  increasingly wicked, but as  for Enoch, like the remnant, was  not of this world. (John 15:18-19) In his Spirit and his conscience, Enoch was not a part of that wicked generation. Each day as he walked  with the Lord, he became less and less attached to the things below and without question, He died daily  to this earthly life. He courage in God’s presence, because he was sure that God hears him whenever he asked God anything that is according to His will and plan. ( 1 John 5:14)

WHOSE IMAGE ARE YOU?

Image
 An Image is a visual representation of an object. It is the likeness of something. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you will see an image of yourself. The image is the likeness of the object which is you. The image has nothing more/extra or less than what you have. This exactly means that the Image and the object are the same. Let's try and figure this out in the life of a Christian. I'll use myself as an example, before I got born again, I was living a different life. I was living a life of oppression. I was living in anger and bitterness. My life then wasn't pleasing to God. In this case, my life was an image/ clear indication of the kingdom I was operating in then. But when I got born again, my old man and his deeds were put off and I became a new man. With time, I was renewed in knowledge and I became an image of Him who brought me out of darkness into His marvellous Light (Jesus Christ). This is exactly what happens when one gets born again, the old self fades...

Another warning about the imminent Return of Jesus

  The Spirit took me to a place in the dream and told me to behold what was about to happen. And I could see dark huge clouds moving fast in the dark sky. Then I saw the moon and above it there was something so strange, it was another body like the moon. There   were strange signs in the sky and i saw very strange things I don’t know how to describe but they seemed to me like celestial bodies. Then I was taken in spirit to a different; and I was standing out in an open place and as I was standing there, then suddenly   there was a loud blast and in a flash, I saw the heavens opened in an instant and   I saw people snatched into heaven. The Lord opened my eyes and I saw them consumed into the brilliant bright pure   heavenly glory. Then I saw glorious white cloud cover the entry into heaven. And the remaining earth was overcome with darkness. Then I saw so many people in chaos and they were running to and fro screaming and some were exclaiming that indee...

Vision of a glorious golden crown

I saw a vision this past night, I found myself standing in the field.  The sky was clear despite some little clouds in the east. Somebody who seemed to me like a prophet of God was standing just a few steps away from where I was. and we were both looking up into the sky. Then this prophet told me to look beyond the clouds to see the gift that God have set forth for the faithful. I tried to look but I could not see anything, that's when the H oly Spirit opened my eyes and I could see a very beautiful magnificent golden crown with the Cross on the front face.  It was titling slowly so i could easily observe it from both side. It had a polished golden surface with beautiful golden droplets on the surface. I saw it tilt again as it fades from my sight. end. prepare for the coming of Christ Jesus on absolute holiness and righteousness.
