JESUS EMPHASISED THE PAINFUL CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HEEDING TIMELY WARNING BY THE WORLDLINGS AND GRACELESS BELIEVERS

Ezekiel 33:7-9. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Beloved, by the time we all get to eternity, God the Father, a gracious and loving Father, shall be vindicated from accusations of every damned souls. This is because, He did His best to hinder multitude of souls from been damned. You wonder why multitude of people globally have experienced untimely death? Simple, they failed to heed timely warning. Many have died globally for not heeding speed limits. Many have died for failure to heed the cigaret and beer manufacturers warnings, that smoking is dangerous to your health and that while driving, you should not drink. Many have died of HIV, because they heeded not. the warning of God through the churches and governments of nations. Beloved you shall not be a victim of untimely death or damned eternity, but heed now God’s timely warning.

GOD HAS RAISED UP WATCHMEN FOR NATIONS, TO HEAR THE WORD FROM HIS MOUTH AND GIVE HIS PEOPLE WARNING.

By divine election, with all humility , I am one of God’s watchmen, watching along side with other faithful ministers of God. Certainly without any iota of doubt, the wicked shall be damned and a sinning soul inside or outside the church shall die eternally. Psalms 9:17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Ezekiel 18:4. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. For you in particular , not to be damned, you must heed the timely warning of God, through prophet Ezekiel .

Ezekiel 33:7-9. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Beloved, the good news is that you can escape and you shall escape eternal death in Jesus name. But how? See it. Hebrews 2:3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

WHEN YOU EMBRACE BIBLICAL SALVATION. NOT MODERN DAY SALVATION.

Noah in his days was saved from the flood that destroyed the whole world, when he heeded the timely warning of the Lord. You too shall escape the looming great tribulation, because, you shall heed the timely warning of the Lord. Hebrews 11:7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

WHILE NOAH ESCAPED AND LOT ESCAPED FIRE FROM HEAVEN ON SODOM, MULTITUDE AND LOT’S WIFE, PERISHED FOR NOT HEEDING, YOU SHALL NOT PERISH IN JESUS NAME.

Luke 17:26-29. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Genesis 19:17-26. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

SEE THE PAINFUL CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HEEDING GOD’S TIMELY WARNING,

Proverbs 1:22-33. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

 

Dearly beloved, your loving Saviour and Redeemer is having inexplainable pains for multitudes inside and outside the church, that are trivialising His painful, shameful, excruciating vicarious death on the cross. This from time immemorial are happening, because of their failure to heed timely warning from the Lord. IF THERE WAS A UNIQUE MINISTRY, JESUS HAD, IT WAS THAT OF A WATCHMAN OR GOOD SHEPHERD WARNING HIS SHEEP. See some of His timeous warnings. Luke 12:5. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Matthew 5:22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mark 9:43-48. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Every sheep that have heeded His timely warnings shall end up as a glorious church, that shall be part of the dawning rapture or glory at the event of death.

Ephesians 5:25-27. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. But every goat inside or outside the church, that heeded not, shall end up a graceless church and be damned. You shall not be a damned graceless church in Jesus name. See what makes people damned goats.

Luke 19:41-44. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. John 3:18-20. 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. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 5:39-47. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

John 12:46-48. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Some examples of such people were Lot’s wife and apostle Judas Iscariot. . Luke 17:32. Remember Lot’s wife. Acts 1:16-20. Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. This shall never be your portion, but heed the timely warning of Jesus now.

JESUS EMPHASISED THE PAINFUL CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HEEDING TIMELY WARNING BY THE WORLDLINGS AND GRACELESS BELIEVERS.

 

Friend, you do not have any doubt that, the end time is here and the rapture is dawning. However, there are presently scoffers inside and outside of the church that are bad mouthing , trivialising and disdaining the likes of you preparing daily for the coming of the Lord. Such people certainly shall never be part of the event, but shall suffer unprecedented hardships and pains during the looming great tribulation. 2 Peter 3:3-4. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. However, the likes of you that are heeding today, God’s timely warning like the people of Nineveh were saved , you also shall be delivered from the great tribulation , by partaking in the dawning rapture in Jesus name. Revelation 3:10-11. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Jonah 3:5-10. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Friend, one important warning you must heed and do everything to prepare for is the dawning rapture. Keep on tirelessly everyday, preparing for it, till Christ comes.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

May the Lord help you to be wise as you have always being in Jesus name. Deuteronomy 32:29

O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! See you at the top in Jesus name.
