THINK ETRNITY

Since generations past, God has been raising powerful and highly anointed  men and women of God, who day and night never stopped crying and calling  mankind to repentance, to avoid coming to hell, to face the wrath of God. To these messengers,  God revealed the nature of the fire of hell  and the conditions of those found in that state of torment. The sight of what they beheld could not allow them to keep mute even in the face of fierce persecutions and death. With hearts full of sorrows and tears and not desiring any one to step into this abyss of death or lake of fire as the scripture rightly puts it, they never stopped moving from place to place, day and night, with great lamentations admonishing men to think of eternity.  Hell fire is not a place to be considered as an option to spend eternity. For Jesus son of David, it is considered a better option not to even be born alive than to experience the heat of hell. For the son of man is about to be betrayed and go to his faith, but how terrible for that man who betrays him Lk. 22 : 22, again he said, For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul. But man in his stubbornness of heart shuns this call and even sometimes devises ways and means to get rid of these messengers of God in order to have enough air to enjoy life without anyone reminding him of eternity, while many in their own cases do not give a dame at all, because for them life and death end here on earth. Yet another set are those who actually believe in life after death but are in love with this world and are carried away by the glamour of this world.   

 Well, whether man wants to hear about eternity or not, the truth is that this present world is coming to an end and the new age begins which is the birth of eternity and in the new age, the eternity of course,  we have just heaven and hell, no middle course. You either find yourself in heaven or in hell depending on the life you lived in this present age. The Lord said today, I  present to you life and death and I advise you to choose life. How I wish all men will choose life.

Here is  another powerful voice in our generation,  reminding humanity once again about life after death, urging man  to think of eternity while still in flesh and blood. This oracle is not of flesh and blood but one inspired and revelled by the one who never wished that any one should perish but that all may enjoy everlasting life. Listen to this redemption cry and  make due preparation  for the everlasting journey. Remember, the Lord’s anger is a storm, a furious whirled wind that will rage over the heads of the wicked. Therefore, have a rethink and harken to this redemption call. This book said it all with strong warning and admonitions and I urge you to read it, meditate on it and preach it wherever man is found.
