2 Peter 2:17
"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever."
*PONDER*
2 Peter 2:17-22.
*PREACHING*

The word of truth is the water of life, which refreshes the soul that receives it; but, deceivers spread and promote errors, and are set forth as empty, because there is no truth in them. As clouds hinder the light of the sun, so the evil counsels of the sinners hinder the truth. Their lust gain complete victory over them, and they are actually in bo***ge. When men are entangled, they are easily overcome; therefore christian should keep close to the words of God, and watch against those who wish to bewilder them. A state of apostasy is worse than a state of ignorance. To bring an evil report upon the good way of God, and false charge against the way of truth, must expose to the heaviest condemnation. Is your backsliding a great grief to you? Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. God bless you.
*PRAYER*
* Bless me with new year blessings, IJN.
* By this time next month, testimonies of breakthroughs will be double in my life, IJN.
* Direct my steps oh Lord, I want to move fast this year! IJN.
*PROPHECY*
THE LORD WILL TELL YOU THE NEXT WAY TO GO. IJMN.
*POINTER*
The evil counsel of the sinners hinder the truth, as cloud hinder the sun.

*DREAMERS' DAILY DEVOTION. DDD.*
Fri 19th January, 2024.
*PASSAGE*
Ecclesiastes 12:1
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;"
*PONDER*
Ecclesiastes 12:1-5.
*PREACHING*
.
As it’s especially in our youth that we are most inclined (determined) to forget our Creator, it’s especially in these years that we must work to remember our Creator (Ecc.12:1). Remember that He made you, that He provides for you, that He cares for you, that He watches you, that He controls you; and remember that He can save you too. Your youthful years are blessed with some virtues why you must remember God. They are;
1. *Energetic years*
However, that’s not the only reason why God commands us to remember our Creator in our young years. It’s also because these are our most energetic years.
Why wait until we are pe***ng out, until we are running down, until our gas is almost empty, before serving our Creator? The God who made us deserves our most active and healthy years: our bodies are strong and muscular (well kind of), our minds are sharp and clear, our senses are receptive and keen and sensitive, our enthusiasm is bright and bushy, our wills are steely and determined. Remember Him in your energetic years.
2. *Sensitive years*
Why do far more of us become Christians in our youth than in our middle or old age? It’s because youthful years are sensitive years. Without giving up our belief in “Total Depravity” we can say that it’s “easier” to believe and repent when we are younger. It’s never easy, but it’s easier. And it’s easier because as we get older our heart is hardened thicker, our conscience is seared number, our sins root deeper, our deadness becomes deader.
Let’s use our youthful sensitivity and receptivity to remember our Creator before the evil days of callous indifference set in.
3. *Teachable years*
We learn more in our youth than in any other period of life. That’s true in all subjects, but especially true in religious instruction. All the Christians I’ve met who were converted to Christ late in life have expressed huge regrets about how little they know and how little they can now learn. I encourage them to value and use whatever time the Lord gives them, but they often feel they have to study twice as hard to learn half as well.
4. *Dangerous years*
Young years are minefield years: hormones, peer pressure, alcohol, drugs, po*******hy, immorality, testosterone, etc. Few navigate these years without blowing up here and there. Dangers abound on every side – and on the inside. How many “first” temptations become “last” temptations! How much we need our Creator to keep us and carry us through this battlefield. God bless you.
*PRAYER*
* I will not misuse my youthful age, IJN.
* Lord energise me to follow your ways, IJN.
*Let your spirit posses our youth, IJN.
*PROPHECY*
YOU WILL NOT END IN SHAME. IJMN.
*POINTER*
Remember that he created you.
