KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Ti 4:1 KJV “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;”

​

A charge is a demand to do certain acts. This time, this charge is made to Timothy and every other Christian before the heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus, who would judge the living and the dead. Act 17:31 KJV “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”

​

The first question that one may ask is why should there be a judgment for all the actions of men,or why is judgment necessary?

​

1.Conscience of man demands it. The law of conscience, when violated, may be silenced, but it comes alive when before God’s throne and will accuse the guilty( Rom 2:14-15)

​

2.History demands it. The injustices of the human race through history and the perversion of God’s righteous laws demand that man be judged before the righteous and holy God.

​

3.Justice demands it. The justice, righteousness, and holiness of God’s law and being demand that He judge all sin. This He does at His throne of judgement.

​

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

The day of judgment is the great reckoning day when God will bring all men before His throne to give an account of their lives as lived here on the earth( Acts 17:31, Rom 2:16, 2 Peter 3:7).

The following are some facts about the coming judgments:

​

a. There would be an appointed day of judgement for the believer and the unbeliever 2 Corinthians 5:10, Rom 14:10, Acts 24:25

​

b.There would be the appointed Judge, Jesus Christ.( John 5:22-27, Matt 25:31-32)

​

c.There would be an appointed purpose in this judgment.

1. To reveal the true character of each person Matt 10:26,1 Cor. 4:5

2.  To determine the value of all the works of men. 1 Corinthians 3:13

3To render public reward or punishment, as men are not always rewarded or punished in this life( Matt 16:27, Rom 2:6-9

4.To vindicate the righteousness of God in dealing with men. His justice would be acknowledged. ( Rev 19:1-2)

2Co 5:10 KJV” For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”

​

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Ti 4:2 KJV” Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”

Timothy is  charged to preach the word. Please be reminded that he links the charge to the return of Jesus to judge all men. This is a very important  instruction. Preaching the word of God is the main means of breaking the power of Satan over men through lies and  deception. Rev 12:9 teaches us that the whole world is deceived by the devil. The power of the devil is his ability to deceive, for the scripture clearly teaches that our Lord Jesus has overpowered and destroyed Satan through the Lord’s death and resurrection, Heb 2:14. Despite this, Satan still  seems to be very powerful and holding men in bondage of all forms.

What makes  the devil still look so powerful? It is because men have been deceived. The answer to break his hold over men is to boldly tell men the truth. When the Lord called Paul, He gave Paul the following task. Act 26:18 KJV “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” How was Paul going to do all these? This was to be done by preaching the word of God. Preach the undiluted word of God.

We are not to preach human philosophy or motivational messages of humanistic ideas that deal no killing blow to the lies and deception of the devil. Our preaching must always exalt God. It must show us how the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus broke the power of Satan to make us free. It must expose the deceitfulness of sin,the absolute victory of the believer in Jesus over the devil and his demons. We must preach the whole counsel of God.

Do not be moved when some men oppose and persecute you for preaching the word of God. These are under the devil’s influence, and it is his reaction against the truth. Do not be moved, but keep on preaching the truth. Many would be saved from error.

We would continue with our studies on God’s righteous judgment.

d. There will be appointed principles and standards of Judgements

These standards include:
1.Men would be judged with righteous judgment ( Acts 17:31, Ps 96:13)

2.Men would be judged according to God’s Holy standards .Rev 22:12, Rom 2:6, 10, 11

3.Men would be judged according to their attitude to Christ( John 12:48, Lk 12:8,9)

4. Men would be judged according to the opportunity  and light given them.( Matt 11: 21-24, Lk 12:48, James 3:1

5.Men would be judged by the infallible and omniscient Judge. There would be no chance of mistaken judgment because He has all the hidden facts, deeds, motives, and thoughts of men. Hb 4:13, Eccl 12:14

6. Men would be rewarded and punished in different degrees.e.g., The rich man and Larsarus in Lk 19:16-19, 47-48

7.  Men would be convinced of the righteousness of God’s judgment, upon their thoughts,words, deeds, and motives( Jude 14-15, Matt 12:37, Rom 2:15-16, Lk 19:22

Please note that all men, both good and bad, would be judged. They would be eternally separated into two classes. These classes are the ‘sheep’ and the ‘goat'( Matt 25:33, the just and the wicked Matt 13:49
All will be eternally ‘ blessed’ or ‘cursed ‘ ( Matt 25:31, 41). The two destinies are either heaven or hell.

Now in the light of God’s holy, righteous and without and partial judgement, may we take the following counsel of Apostle Paul to the brethren of Corinth 2Co 5:11 KJV “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”  Dear child of God do  not use the name of Christ as a camouflage and practice works of darkness. Everything is opened  to Him with whom we  have to do with.
Now, to those who have not accepted Jesus as Lord of their lives, do not delay further. No prayers made after you die can send you to heaven. Many of the rest in peace we say to  people are not going to make them rest in peace if they did not make Jesus Lord when they were alive.

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Ti 3:17 KJV “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Everyone who becomes a Christian was saved to do goodworks. Ephh 2:10 KJV” For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Good works range from every act of love  seen in serving one another to healing all who are oppressedbyf the devil. Act 10:38 KJV “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Healing the sick is not an act reserved for only gifted Christians but a task that every child of God must perform. Mar 16:17 KJV “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with newtongues.”;”

The believers were to cast out devilsand layy hands on the sick. All these feats were to be furnished by the truths taught from the word of God.

Once agai,n for one to do all good work,s he must approach the scriptures without any “golden calf”. The golden calf was a false powerless god that the Israelites travelling from Egypt began to worship saying that was what brought them from Egypt. This was a very big li,e yet they believed it and rejected the true God to celebrate it. Every false doctrine concerning God or His word must first be slaughtered before the scripturescan bed furnishedto  you to be a carrier of all good work.s.

The scriptures teach that God has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness 2 Pet 1:3. We are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. Col 2:10. Christ is our very sufficiency, glory be to God 2 Corinth: 3:5-6. All these and many more inform us of how much we have been made qualified to do all good works.

One major setback is our refusal to accept the truths of scripture as real and very applicable in every case. This is what the grace of God is about. The next step is our devotion to the word in meditation and prayer. Jesus dedicated a great deal of time to prayer. Our prayers condition our hearts and minds to function in line with what God says.

The scriptures show us that Jesus came to raise a family who are just like Him. We are a direct outcome of His death. The idea is like a seed which is planted. The fruits would definitely be like the seed. We have to take away every veil from our minds and believe every truth as the scriptures tell us.We are called to be like Him and to reveal Him in our lives. This is our basic call as Christians.

THOUGHT: THE SCRIPTURES SHOW US THAT WE ARE LIKE OUR LORD AND,WE MUST ACCEPT WE ARE LIKE HI.M.

2Pe 1:3 KJV” According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”

Col 2:10 KJV” And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality andpower.”:”

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Ti 3:17 KJV” That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Our Lord Jesus led a perfect life. The scripture says he was tempted at all points, yet He sinned not. Heb 4:15 The Lord also expects perfection from us. Mat 5:48 KJV “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” The scriptures teach that we can be perfected by the scriptures.

The perfection of the scriptures proceeds from subjecting your life to being controlled by it. Be reminded that the word is a person. The scripture teaches that all scripture is given by the breath of God. God’s breath is the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is the very life of the word of God. John 1:4 KJV “In him( the word) was life; and the life was the light of men”.The bible says the name of the Lord is the word of God. Rev 19:13 KJV “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God”. Anyone given to the word has allowed the Lord Jesus to live his life through him.

Now, for the word  to perfect you, you must acknowledge that the word is full of the life of God and has the supernatural power to make you whatever it talks about. 2Co 3:18 KJV “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”. This verse teaches that as we put aside every veil, sin, unbelief, prejudice or wrong doctrine, we see clearly the glory of God. We are then changed or transfigured to become the very glory of God.

The next aspect of the word that transforms us into perfection is to submit to its teaching.
Many people approach the word with a certain preconceived thought pattern. Such thinking corrupts the true teaching of the word. An example is what 1 Peter 2:24b says. By whose stripes you were healed. This is very clearly talking about the healing of our bodies, yet people add all other meanings to it.

Allow the scriptures to always mean what they say. Do not use your experience or the experience of others to interpret the scriptures. This is the only means for the scriptures to perfect you. Allow the scriptures to reproof you where necessary and receive their correction.

THOUGHT: THE SCRIPTURES WOULD MAKE YOU WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT IF YOU WOULD SUBMIT TO THEM

1Ti 4:15 KJV” Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Ti 3:16 KJV” All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

Instructions are detailed, step-by-step directions or orders explaining how to perform a task, use a product, or behave. They serve as structured guidance, often crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency. Synonyms include directions, guidelines, commands, orders, tutorials, and protocols. Biblical instructions are the way of life. Pro 3:1 KJV My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

God’s ways are always right. Biblical instructions must be keenly followed. They must first fill the soul and then be obeyed. God desires that every child of His be seriously successful. Following biblical instructions leads to true success in life. Jos 1:8 KJV” This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

You can make your way prosperous. Everyone living today desires to be successful. Success could be simply described as living a very fulfilled life. This can not be found anywhere except in the paths of righteousness. Pro 14:12 KJV” There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” The way that seems right to men is the way of human reason, strength and human effort. 1Sa 2:9 KJV He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.”

The wicked, that is, the man who gives no attention to biblical instructions, would be silent in darkness. This means he would be frustrated because he has avoided righteous instructions that are light . His only place of abode is darkness. If the Christian shuns righteous instructions, he can not avoid living in darkness.

Every creature lives in its source. Fishes live in water, plants live on the land, the Christian must live in the word, for our source is the word of God

We may have to understand what a doctrine is. A doctrine is a codification or stating of beliefs, principles, or teachings adopted by a group—such as a religion, government, or organization—that are considered true and authoritative. It provides a framework for understanding and acting, commonly seen in religious tenets, political ideologies, or official government policies. The scripture gives us God’s thoughts principles that inform students of the word what the Lord would want His people to know about various  topics.

Doctrines offer very fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. It is very good to know these doctrines so that other doctrines that are contrary can be easily known and avoided. There are Christian sects who claim to use the same bible but with very divergent teachings. Please note that salvation is not about believing whatever is taught from the scriptures, but that which adheres to sound  doctrines which were believed and taught by the apostles and the early church.

The early church after the apostles had passed on certain doctrines which was not acceptable to the general  church body was being taught by some. An example is the doctrine taught by Arius. He taught that our Lord Jesus was a created being, not co equal to the Father. The church body refuted that and  established the Nicene creed. These were believes clearly taught by the scripture and were stipulated in the creed.

Dear one it really matters what you believe. Many are bound and tormented by the enemy because they have not been taught about the doctrine of the authority of the believer. Some Christians have a hard time living victiriously over sin and sicknesses because they do not know of their victory over sin and sicknesses. There are many still fighting demons because  they do not know that the fight of the Christian is the fight of faith. Proper doctrine liberates and places the child of God in his true place of triumph.

To say the scripture is profitable means it is advantageous, helpful,  and beneficial. There is nothing negative about the scriptures. Some have tried in every means possible to find all faults, errors, and even to say it is from human work, with the intention to enslave a particular race. They see Africans as such a target. This is most unfortunate and sad since the very civilisation of Europe evolved from the application of the bible. The foundation of most legal books is, for the most part, biblically influenced.

The Gutenberg Bible is credited with being the first printed substantial book.

The bible is indeed very profitable on all fronts. The United States of America was established by biblical truths. This is what has caused it to become a world superpower. When certain individuals tried to attack the dominance of the word of God in the socio-political life and called for the removal of the scriptures from public school, the hospitality industry, like hotels and what have you, has resulted in this grave downward turn ,affecting the social life of such a beautiful nation. There is no week that gun violence is not reported somewhere in the United States. This has made living in certain states in the US very dangerous. If you take out the scriptures, society is left without any protection.

The scriptures have transformed whole communities from a life of violence and lust to a people of very sober behaviour. In the years 1904 and 1905, the word of God preached by Evans Roberts in  Welsh caused the conversion of over 100000 people, resulting in the emptying of prison cells because these people were transformed by the word of God.
Through the preaching of the word .

Scores of people have been instantly healed from medically incurable conditions. Raving lunatics are completely made whole just by listening to the preaching of the word.

A muslim man carrying a child found himself behind a sports stadium which was hosting a gospel crusade. There were strong sound systems that sent the preaching far outside the inner perimeter. This child was healed while the man carried him. He asked to be let down, but the man refused . The child bit him, and he let him down, and to his amazement, this child walked by himself. The scriptures are indeed very profitable.

THOUGHT: GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ITS PROFITABILITY.
