    Understanding and Overcoming the End-Time Perils (3)

    The Apostle Paul described our days with one word: perilous. The Greek is chalepos, and it appears only twice in the entire New Testament. The second occurrence is in Matthew 8:28, describing the demoniacs of Gadara, exceedingly fierce, broken chains in the dust, men who could not be bound or calmed by any human means. That is the force of the word Paul reaches for to describe the last days. Not inconvenient. Demonically energised. In this prophetic Sunday sermon, Pastor Olubi Johnson opens the full biblical framework: what the end-time perils are, why they are intensifying, and precisely how the mature believer overcomes them. The diagnosis of 2 Timothy 3:2-5 reads like a news feed: lovers of themselves, proud, unthankful, without natural affection, fierce, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. The most dangerous peril, Pastor Olubi Johnson notes, is not outside the church walls but the drift from living faith to empty form. The why is spiritual: Ephesians 2:2, the prince of the power of the air working in the sons of disobedience. As collective rejection of God intensifies, the earth opens as a theatre for spiritual deception and destruction. But Romans 8:19 reveals the answer creation has been waiting for: not politicians or scientists but the manifestation of the sons of God, a mature Church so saturated with the love and fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ that His power flows through them without resistance into every sphere of human need. The how is Psalm 91:1: he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High. Not visits. Dwelling. The chashaq love, the deliberate daily clinging to God above every competing loyalty, produces the dwelling, and the dwelling produces the protection. Perfect love casts out fear because fear is not merely an uncomfortable emotion but a spiritual weapon, the mechanism through which the enemy gains access. First John 4:17 is the anchor: as He is, so are we in this world.

    Walk and Build (2)

    God placed these two men in the Scriptures not merely as history. He placed them as mirrors. Enoch and Noah: two men who lived before the flood, two men surrounded by a world moving in the opposite direction from God, who chose deliberately and at cost to move toward Him. One walked so closely with God that God simply took him home without the formality of death. The other built a boat on dry ground for a hundred and twenty years while the entire world laughed. Both of them, the writer of Hebrews tells us, inherited what they were promised through the same two qualities: faith, and patience. In this prophetic message, Pastor Olubi Johnson opens both lives as patterns for the end-time generation of the sons of God. Enoch's hinge was revelation. He was not recorded as walking with God from birth but after the birth of Methuselah, whose name in the prophetic tradition means when he dies it shall be sent. You cannot hold a son named when he dies it is coming and continue to live as though the coming does not matter. Good is not godly. Morality is not fellowship. The hinge is revelation. And his patience, the Greek hupomonē, to remain under the Word and dealings and timing of God, sustained that walk for three hundred years until the boundary between earth and heaven became, for him, almost negligible. The testimony precedes the translation. Noah's world was Genesis 6: every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And the Lord Jesus locked those days directly to the days of His second coming: as the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. The contamination is not coming. It has arrived. The response is not anger or despair. The response is to build: according to all that God commanded him, so did he. Not approximately. Exact obedience builds an ark that rides above the flood. Faith begins it. Patience finishes it.
