EXPLORE THE EARTH, BUT THINK HEAVEN.
LUKE 16:24
"And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
COLLOSIANS 1:28
"Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:"
Parents warn their children of dangers ahead that could be averted if warnings are heeded; that is not a threat, rather, love expressed to prevent consequences. Government warns their citizens of danger ahead; it doesn't show threats to her citizens, rather, care.
School authority warns students of consequences for violating ground-rules; it is not a threat, it is to guide them, behave in an orderly manner. Corporations set out their code of conduct, ethical guidelines and consequences when violated. It doesn't show wickedness but guidelines for conformity and for benefit of all.
The warning about eternal peril is weightier, heavier and too irreparable, more consequential than the punishments for violating earthly laws.
Most earthly sanctions don't result in capital punishments,except few instances. In the end, there are second chances - opportunity to right the wrongs . But in the case of eternity, once gone into judgement, there is no second chance. No apology or remorse will do, no adjustments, no corrections, no restitution. It bites with eternal, endless pains, agonies, regrets, sufferings.
Today, i am humbly begging, pleading. There is no threat, rather, a humble persuasion to everyone.
Eternity is a journey of no return. There wont be second chance. We won't be coming back to pick anything. Anyone who is lost, is forever lost; there is no remedy after death.
Friends, professionals, parents, business owners, mentors & executives, i plead from the bottom of my heart; the door of salvation is still open, the opportunity beckons, the Lord calls on everyone, His bowels of mercy is widely thrown open globally.
The Richman didn't go to Hell because he was rich, as some erroneously held. One can be wealthy or wretched and still end in Hell; and one can be wealthy and wretched & still make it to eternal life: the choice lies with us.
Three things amongst all other things that justify there'll be judgement after this earth:
1. The Conscience: animals don't have conscience, hence, they won't be judged; they don't have soul, but humans have conscience that often reminds us of violations of divine order. If there is no conscience, then,we can as well be lawless, heartless & be doing evil altogether since there won't be judgement for evil deed.
2. Human judgement. There're earthly judges on who prevail & sanction criminals when convicted. It is a reflection of existence of eternal judgement.
3. The Holy Book. God's words are infallible proof of God's mind revealed to us. it can't change, technology can't change it.
Please, seek the Lord whilst He may be found.
God bless you all.
