MEMORY VERSE: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. – 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJV)
BIBLE TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJV)
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: The events that are happening all over the world are an indication of the end time. As believers, there is a need for us to prepare ahead by taking proactive steps to equip ourselves.
LESSON AIM: To make members understand the meaning of preparing ahead.
TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should know:
- Understanding the times.
- How to prepare ahead.
TEXT REVIEW: 2 Timothy 3:1-7
We are in the last days, perilous times are here.
Attractions are everywhere to dispossess you of your godly inheritance.
Beware of constant liars, even on the pulpit.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE: UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES
We as believers are supposed to be watchful and be prepared for the perilous time, just like the children of Issachar, who had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel thought to do.
Terrible Times Ahead: 2 Corinthians 3:1-4
- People will be lovers of themselves.
- Boastful, proud, abusive.
- Disobedient, ungrateful, unholy.
- Unforgiving, without love, slanderous, without self-control. 2 Timothy 3:1-4
LESSON OUTLINE TWO: PREPARE AHEAD
The book of Psalm 121:1 states that I will lift my eyes on to the hills, from where cometh my help, in preparation for these challenging times, we should turn to God for assistance. The bible contains all the information we need regarding the future, so there is need for us;
a. to study and apply God’s word. Psalm 119:11
b. Cultivate a deep prayer life. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
c. Develop a strong relationship with God.
d. Be prepared like the five wise virgins. Matthew 25:1-13.
e. Associate with heaven-bound believers. 1 Corinthians 15:33
SUMMARY: My son, if sinners entice you, turn your back from them. Jesus’ coming is real.
CONCLUSION: Don’t be fearful or anxious about the perilous times, be vigilant, focus on God’s presence and power to deliver. No one knows the exact time of Jesus’ return except the Father in heaven, but His appearance will be sudden, and many will not believe or care about it.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY: What are the perils of not preparing ahead? What was Daniel’s record about His coming? Daniel 7:13-14
PRAYER POINTS
- Father, prepare your church for your return.
- Father, help all believers to be on the firing point till you arrive.
