Imagine this :
Everywhere silent! Not a single sound, not a beep, not a whistle of the wind. Even graveyards aren’t that silent. Sometimes, there is a rumble of the wind, crick of insects and rattling from creeping animals. But imagine this kind, not a sound, no rattle, no rustle, no bustle, no nothing.
More than that is eternity, not the silence but the extremity. The fact that is endless and there is nothing you can do about it!
Hell wasn’t in its origin made for man. It was created to punish the devil and his cohorts.
Revelations 20:10 “Then the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” GNT Bible
Man as he was before holy and pure always before His presence as he continually abode in fellowship with Him. But when man sinned, submitting himself to the dictate of the devil which came in deceit as a ‘suggestion’. Man lost his fellowship with GOD and became birthed in sin.
The devil is the father of lies and evils. The wages of sin is death.
Revelations 21:8 “But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars—the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death” GNT Bible
Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God”. Amplified Version
But Christ came that we may have life, life eternally. As it is where the father is, so the children are. If we live by the Spirit, we must also walk in the Spirit.
John 10:10 “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” Amplified Version
If we take GOD as our Father, then where He is we will also be (John 14:3). Just as JESUS said and that is Heaven. But if a person lives in sin, then He knowingly or unknowingly is fathered by the devil. Hell is the place for the devil and sad to say, automatically that’s where the children belong. This is the second death as recorded in the book of the Revelations of JESUS to John.
JESUS came to save us from the grip of sin, death and destroy the works of the devil. He came to make peace between the Father of Light and us through His own self. He then gave us His Spirit so that we become alive to GOD by our spirits and have the long lost relationship back again with GOD.
Someone once said, “If I can make a man sit silently for 5mins, then I could really make him think of eternity”.
When people meet whom they truly love, they never want their affairs and relationship with them to end. They just want it to go on, and on, and on even if they happen to be repeating the same thing over and over and over again. None of that matters! In fact each time it feels like they are doing something new.
On the contrary, when people find themselves in distressing and uncomfortable situations, no one wants it to linger. We all just want it to end quickly like it never happened. Bearing these two in mind, which would rather pick? A love that goes on and on even if you keep repeating the same thing or a distressing and uncomfortable situation? But imagine being in the latter and no matter how much you want to get out, you just can’t. Now imagine that same scenario embedded in an unending situation. This time, no answer as to when it will end.
Friends, the end of the world will truly come. Perhaps it may not come while you are living on earth.
JESUS said in Matthew 25:13 “And Jesus concluded, “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour.” GNT Bible
But we know this is true that immediately any man dies, he or she has had JESUS come back because it is only appointed to man to die once and then judgement. We are not making hell scare you or trying to compelling into living a life in JESUS through fear. But it is true. And though you still have a long life to live, many don’t. Remember that friend or that neighbor, loved one that is gone, he is gone and will be established his own judgement. He/she couldn’t come back even if they wanted when now faced with the reality they are in. But you, you still have a chance, a choice, hope that you could spend your reality with GOD.
Remember we told you earlier that hell wasn’t originally made for man but the devil. JESUS has paid the price to liberate us from such judgement. Stop doubting and fretting. When you have a better place prepared for you, why end it all up with the wicked one that caused you to lose it in the first place?
We pray that the LORD JESUS opens your eyes and ears right now and cause His Light to flow into your hearts and minds as He binds the works of the prince of power of air the devil and lose you from the shackles of sin and death! Hallelujah and glory to GOD. We thank GOD because He has done in the name of JESUS Christ our LORD and we see you walking in GOD’s glorious liberty with heaven becoming your mandate.
The goal is not to think of hell nor chase heaven; but to follow JESUS who is the only way that leads you to heaven. The people of the world say, “There is so many way that leads to heaven”. But we know that the way is narrow and JESUS is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No gets to the Father except through Him.
