SOMEHOW
This is the second part of the message “To The Christians”. Before I add sugar to the cup of coffee, do you believe in the existence of heaven and hell? If yes, then let continue but if no, then find yourself a Holy Bible and read the whole book of Revelation, after visit www.scholum.wordpress.com for the story of a young girl who died for 23 hours and got the chance to tour heaven and hell with God and came back to life to tell her story. Going to heaven after death is a gain but going to hell after death is a great loss. Have you ever thought of losing it all or gaining it all?
Going to heaven or hell is SOMEHOW. Why do I say so? There lived a certain woman who was a chorister in a certain church. The woman was leading a righteous life and one day the pastor offended her but instead of telling the pastor, she kept it to herself and did not forgive the pastor. She unfortunately died after sometime. But all members of the church thought she was in heaven due to her righteous life. Sadly she was in hell and nobody knew till God revealed it to one of the church members through a dream. In the dream she was asked how she got there and she said because of unforgiveness. All because she did not forgive the pastor.
Now let talk about the two thieves crucified together with Jesus. Now according to the Holy Bible in the book of Luke 23:39-43 and I quote “Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? “And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.””””(NKJV)Amen. Comparing the two situations, you realise that the choirister was a leading a righteous life and one sinful move which is unforgiveness quickly sent her to hell. Morever, you realise that the thief was leading a sinful life and one righteous move which was condemning the blasphemy, fearing God and accepting he had sinned sent him to heaven. We are not different from the thief and the choirister. We are human beings like them. So this could equally happen to us. Do you see why I said going to heaven or hell is SOMEHOW? I’m not telling you this to discourage you but to motivate you to keep on pressing towards the goal of serving God well in truth and in spirit, making disciples for Christ and going to heaven with them. When you fall, quickly rise up and get back into the race of pressing towards the goal. But if you remain there, you will lose the strength to continue and I pray that never be your portion. So step on the accelerator because we are almost there. We are in the end time.
In a nut shell I quote “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Amen (NKJV) 1 Corinthians 15:58.
