The Dangers Of The Last Days
Here is a true reflection of what is happening in the world now as shared by actor Majid Michel.
2 Timothy 3: 1-5. NLT (New Living Translation)
“You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!”
A friendly reminder that we are in the end of times.

Very good article and a reminder for everyone.
The dangers of the last days are really here and true. Nowadays people have become lovers of themselves, greedy, selfish, don’t care about or of anyone, they want what they want, and nothing else, or no one dare stands in their ways. They don’t care if it is the mother who carried them for 9 months or even more, what the mother went through to see them till now. They don’t care if a sibling has to stop going to school to do menial work to take care of their needs and support them. They don’t care if it is their own children, friend or someone close.
In this last day, people will become a lover of themselves, showing off their wealth which can be a stumbling block for someone. Showing off that wealth does not allow anyone to acquire them for themselves, but they have forgotten that they are enticing others into temptation.
Nowadays, people have become arrogant, pompous, full of themselves, because they think they have money and nothing can bring them down. The Word of God says, ” Take heed when you think you stand, lest you fall” 1st. Cor. 10:12.
People are disobedient to their parents, elders and other, all because they have money, positions, or know someone somewhere. They are unloving, they love you when they need something from you. They lack self-control because they think they can have any woman or man they want. They are very cruel and don’t care to step on other’s toes, they crush you when you cross them. They betray their friends, business partners, family and become so puffed up with pride.
Most of these people act and behave in a “holier than thou attitude, meanwhile, underneath, they are snakes, snipers, vipers, serpents, and evil. People have become so democratic that because of the freedom of speech and everything, they feel they have the right to behave in any manner. They always know their rights, but they tend to forget their responsibilities. They accept anything immoral as moral. The world has changed and will continue to change and evolve around where even gospel musicians will go to an evil person to get something to enable them to sell their music. Celebrities, pastors, and people in leadership are jealous and envious of each other, forgetting that each and every one is different and unique in their own way and we all cannot play the same roles
In these last days,
1. Watch and pray,
2. Look before you walk into someone’s path, watch and be careful before you enter someone’s domain, car or environment.
3. Be wise as a serpent, a serpent is so wise that when it sees you coming, it will run away, meanwhile, you have not even seen it, but the fear that you will harm it first will make it hide and bite you back if you lest expecting
4. Be vigilant
5. Be prayerful – pray for others and pray in the Spirit
6. Don’t assume anything
7. Clearly define your purpose and ask God to direct your footsteps in all you do or say
8. Be self-control and run away from temptation
9. Don’t be anxious about anything.
10. Ask for the grace to move you daily
Lastly, be grateful and thankful for all things
