Greetings in JESUS’ NAME!

This is NOT a general casual message.This is URGENT! The following excerpt is taken from my book titled “The Gospel of the Kingdom”. I am not writing this to condemn you,but it is necessary for you to be well aware of the shocking reality if you haven’t done so.This not a message of condemnation or hate but that of LOVE..I’m doing this because I care about you.If someone you care about is in danger,you warn them.That’s true,isn’t it?Consequently,I’m not here to entertain you but to inform you.Take some time and read it.Then pass it on.Share it now because the king’s (God’s)business requires haste(1 Samuel 21:8)Please help win a soul for the Lord today.You shall be rewarded by the Lord of the harvest! You know some people will NEVER care to listen to or receive the gospel until they’re lying down dead and in hell.Then it will be TOO LATE to repent.That is what happened to the rich man in the 16th chapter of the Gospel According to Saint Luke.As you’re reading this article now,some people are dying.Some are going to heaven,but some are going to hell,unfortunately. People who are already in hell wish they could turn back the hands of time and accept what I’m telling you now,but it is TOO LATE.The Bible warns us not to harden our hearts when we hear the Word of God. “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.” Hebrews 3:15(NIV) If we do,we will have ourselves to thank for it.We will blame ourselves.Notice that Scripture says “Today”.Not tomorrow.No.No.No.Why?Because ‘tomorrow may be TOO LATE.Wake up!Wake up!!Wake up!!!Make peace with God now if you haven’t done so.The Bible teaches that we have all sinned.I sinned.You sinned.All have sinned.However,I’m no longer a sinner,and I’m no longer in my sin because I have repented.God has forgiven me.Hallelujah!We must not let sin deceive us. The Scripture tells us to exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13(KJV).The agonies and sufferings in hell will be endless.Don’t wait to see hell for yourself.Please don’t wait to get there to find out.God is begging you.I’m begging you.Please.We must not be nonchalant or complacent now that we are still conscious and breathing. NOTHING in this world is worth more than your soul as the following scripture affirms. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?Is anything worth more than your soul?Matthew 16:26 (NLT) Read the following sobering story carefully ,and let it paint a vivid picture on the canvas of your mind of what actually goes on in the hereafter. The Rich Man and Lazarus “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31(NIV) You can see from the above scripture that the rich man or rather the ex-rich man(He’s broke now you know.) did not get a second chance.He did not carry an ounce of his wealth to hell.Why did he go to hell?Was it because he was rich/loaded?Nay!No!Far from it!He went to hell because he rejected God while he was alive.He wouldn’t have anything to do with God or His Word.He was too busy feasting and flirting.He was too busy wining and dining.He refused to listen to the preachers in his days.He ignored God(his creator).He hardened his heart. He was obstinate, and his neck was an iron sinew, and his brow brass.Isaiah 48:4(KJV). Whoever rejects God in this life will be rejected by God when they die.Make no mistake about it.Do not be deceived.Nobody can cry their way into heaven.Nobody can buy their way into heaven.God does not take bribes…for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or perverted justice.2 Chronicles 19:7.He will reward everyone according to their works. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” Romans 2:6.There is no purgatory where people will be purified so that they can go to heaven.Only the blood of Jesus can wash away human sins. Hebrews 9:22 says “…and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”According to the Scriptures,the only way to heaven is by Jesus Christ. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.John 14:6 ‘’Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.’’ Acts 4:12(NIV) Salvation is found only in JESUS! The following Bible verses are worth paying urgent attention to because no one knows when his/her time here on earth will be up irrespective of their age. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21 Remember now your Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not(while there is still life)…Ecclesiastes 12:1 (KJV) If we don’t remember God now,He will forget us later. (Apst. Zane Uchenna Obi) Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, ..Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV) So, .. the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice(the Word of God), do not harden your hearts.Hebrews 3:7-8 9(NIV) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts(including witches,wizards,etc.), the idolaters (those who worship false gods)and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”Revelation 21:8(NIV) If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die,and the fire is not quenched.’Mark 9: 43-48(NIV) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Romans 6:23 (KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.Mark 16:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Whoever believes in the Son (JESUS)has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. 3:16-18,36 (KJV,NIV) “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.Matthew 21:41(NIV) If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.” Mark 4:23(NIV) The bottom line is Heaven is real,and hell is real.We can choose where we go to.Hell was made for the devil and his angels.However,whoever is deceived by the devil in this life will accompany him(the devil) to hell when he/she dies.Don’t get offended/mad at me.I did not write the Bible.I’m telling you what the Bible teaches.I’m actually doing you a tremendous favour. The Gospel(Good News) is that JESUS died for us and rose again so that we can have peace with God,brought into God’s Kingdom,and escape hell and the forthcoming judgment.Hallelujah! To receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour,pray the following prayer. Almighty God in Heaven,I confess that I am a sinner,and I believe that Jesus died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and rose again on the third day so that I can be forgiven and have peace with God.Lord Jesus,I call upon you now to save my soul.I receive you as my Lord,Master,and Saviour.Wash away my sins with your precious Blood,and fill and baptize me with the Holy Spirit.In Jesus’ name.Amen. Thank you my Lord and Saviour.
