TOPIC: THE POWER AND THE FORM

Read 2 Timothy 3:1-9

MEMORISE: Having a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:5).

EXPOSITION

Power is described, inter-alia, as “the ability to do or control something or things… It is strength or influence.” The true power of God in a Christian ‘…is Christ in you, the hope of glory’ (Col. 1:27). He is the substance of our faith. We are nothing without Him, not in the least! (Jn. 15:4,5ff). He is the Power being wielded in all the nations and by all the kings of the earth (Rev. 11:17,18; cf. Col. 1:15-18), even that of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven (Mk. 16:20). This is the POWER!

However, ‘form,’ means “the particular way something is, looks, seems, or is presented…a type or variety of something.” This is what Apostle Paul addressed critically in his second Epistle to Bishop Timothy in chapter three. This is to say that the corrupted nature of man will be so manifested in the last days that it will literally want to practically negate the true message, life, substance, mission, and potency of the Grace of God, which is the ministry of true liberty (vv. 1-5ff).

There shall be a people who are seemingly of the Church of Christ Jesus, but are in the actual sense, not (cf. 2 Tim. 3:5). These shall be a praying, singing, teaching, evangelical, tithing, etc. company of so called believers who are actually sinners, even though highly religious! These are, according to Peter, the presumptuous, self-willed, accursed children who are cloud without water; twice dead heretics and blasphemers who are only known by their noice-making (2 Pet. 2:1ff).

Paul, in addition, describes these ones as ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of Truth that sets free (2 Tim. 3:5). They are rebels, of corrupt minds, and reprobate or immoral, concerning what true Christianity is (vv. 7,8). He finally counsels, ‘…from such people turn away!’ (v. 5), for ‘…they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all’ soon (v. 9).

PRAYER POINTS

1. Thanks be to God Almighty Who is able to keep us to the end.

2. Dry up and die, now, everything in me that is still cooperating with the devil and his corruption.

3. Lord, don’t allow the spirit of hypocrisy to creep in and take root in our youth and campus fellowships, in Jesus’ name.
