We are playing games with God

 

It is 3:24 am over here, and I have not written a post in a while. But I just woke up from a nap, and I feel weird. I got a notification on my phone from a WhatsApp group, and the message was “My experience in Hell.” I avoided it because personally I do not like reading such, but I know in the end, the point of the story is to warn the saints, that the end (or their end) is near. But I still felt so weird, like the atmosphere in my room just feels off. I read it eventually; and basically, this girl got an abortion, before the procedure, she asked Jesus Christ to forgive her. She died in the process and descended straight into hell. While in hell, she could not stand the torment and begged God to forgive her, that she would declare the word to the world. Christ appeared and told her so many others have made the same request as she has, and left hell to make their experience known to the world, but yet no change. Eventually, Christ granted her request, and warned her if she did not preach, she would return to that same place.
First of all, we are not meant to die, go to hell, realize that we should preach Salvation to others and then beg for a second chance, that is why God has given you life in this very moment. You cannot depend on a second chance and the torment of hell before preaching the word of God. There was something a friend said during prayers earlier in the day,”The world is going mad” and it sure is. Sin is so normalized now; that it is even encouraged. People believe Jesus is a fairy tale, that religion is just a social institution controlling people. But God, heaven, and hell are very much real; and Christianity is so much more. I think what stood out to me in the Hell experience, was Christ told her “tell my people to stop playing games with me.”

Earlier in the day, I opened my bible to Joshua 7; and it discussed the sin of Achan. The Israelites were warned not to take Babylon’s silver and garment because God called it accursed, which is exactly what Achan did. Because of his actions, the Israelites lost in battle to the land of Ai. Imagine, because of one man’s mistake, God could not support His people in war, and had to turn away from them. When they found out what Achan did, they destroyed him and his entire family. And the thought that came to my mind was “We like playing games with God.” So reading that girl’s testimony was definitely a reminder to me.

I know I have disrespected God so many times, nonetheless because of His love and grace I am able to find my way into His presence. Because His son died on the cross, I know if I mess up and ask for forgiveness things will be well. God is a good father, but no, we like to disrespect Him. If Christ did not die on the cross, Lord knows I will not be here; I would be struck down the way Achan was, and so many of you would suffer the same fate. When God looks at us, He sees the blood of Christ upon us that speaketh better things than the blood of Abel (Heb 12:24); He chooses not to pour His wrath on us. But it will get to a point, that He and Christ will say “Enough is Enough.” Do not feel God does not get hurt by your actions, or you can do whatever you want, without any consequences. He is keeping a record of it all. Is it well with your soul? If you die this instant while looking at this line, do you think you will end up in heaven? Do not live life callously any longer, open your eyes to the way the enemy is deceiving you to remain complacent in your walk with Christ or your sin. Some of you have people depending on you for their salvation. And if you do not wake up, they will end up in hell, because you were not there for them.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. What are you waiting for? For Him to come down from the sky, and show Himself to you before you will wake up. Then, honey, you have no faith. Christianity requires trusting the things we cannot see (Hebrew 12). There are those who get that immediate change in their life, but there are those like me, who constantly have to chase after Him before He can reveal Himself to us; and the chase is more than worth it.

Please do not waste time any longer, some of you may not make until next month or the next morning, which is not my prayer for you. But do not feel you are indispensable, he can snuff the breath out of you this very second. Think long and hard about how you disrespect God and repent. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 3:2).

It is my prayer that all of you reading this, do not miss the calling of Christ in your lives, Amen.
