DCLM Higher Everyday 8 May 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Signs Of Perilous Times
Topic: Signs Of Perilous Times
Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-7
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Key Verse: “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” (2 Timothy 3:1, 2).
Message
When questioned by His disciples about the signs of His Second Coming, Jesus listed: wars, rumors of wars, famine, earthquakes, the rise of false prophets, and increase in iniquity, among others. In our memory verse of today, Apostle Paul further lists the unwholesome moral condition in the last days which include: self-love, covetousness, pride, boasting, blaspheming, disobedience to parents and lack of holiness. Truly, holiness is despised by many people today.

The signs of the times are around us and yet, many a youth is attracted to the broad way. We see godlessness in diverse ways in these days. Many ladies have become victims of money ritual killings. The rate of increase in sinful practices is increasing among our secondary schools and tertiary institutions youngsters as they yield to examination malpractices, fornication, pornography and other vices. On a cursory look, it seems as if the situation is hopeless but looking through the lens of the Bible, we see that our God has not lost hope in humanity, for “He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Quote: God has not lost hope in humanity
Challenge: If you are still unsaved, repent now.
Prayer for today: Precious Jesus, protect my faith in these last days.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
