GOD TOLERATES HUMAN BEINGS EVERY SECOND OF OUR LIVES
Dear friend, how often do
you react whenever someone offends you? There are some people who simply cannot
keep their temper in check - they explode at every single offence committed
against them and later turn round to say that is their nature.
Have you ever sat down to
consider what the world would be if God reacted the same way? The truth is,
human beings offend God every second and yet God does not immediately punish
us.
Yes, every single thing we
do or say or think in this world is recorded in heaven as one of my previous
posts has stated, but if God were to judge us immediately for our offenses
against Him, He would long have ended the world.
The world today is filled
with a lot of evil, immorality, decadence, ritual killings, murders, theft,
fraud, betrayal, hatred, envy, malice, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness,
indecency in dressing or speaking or acting, calumny, jealousy, tribalism and
ethnicity, favouritism over merit, etc.
I could go on and on to list
offences humans commit all the time against each other and in the process
ultimately offend God who created human beings in His own image and likeness.
Why does God tolerate us so
much and yet we are unable to tolerate each other? We are clearly told in God's
Word in 2 Peter 3:7-9 "But the
heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same Word (of God), are
reserved for fire until the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men.
But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that
with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is
longsuffering toward us, not willing any should perish but that all should come
to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the
elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in
it will be burned up."
Dear friend, if you have
been diligently following my blog posts, one thing should have been clear to
you by now, and that is that the Word of God must come to pass just as is
stated in His Book, the Holy Bible ( Isaiah 55:10-11), the ONLY AUTHORIZED
GUIDE FOR HUMAN BEINGS BY GOD HIMSELF (2 Timothy 3:16).
If nothing can stop God's
Word from coming to pass, then be sure that this world will end one day along
with the heavens as God has stated in 2 Peter 3:7-9 and since God does not want
anyone to perish along with it, He continues to tolerate our offences committed
every single second in every part of the earth, with the hope that people would
repent and turn from evil, turn to God through Jesus Christ our Lord and
Messiah, accept Him wholeheartedly and live a righteous life in obedience to
His commands.
God's tolerance of human
beings ends when we die and His judgement takes over immediately. His tolerance
will also end when He brings the world under judgement at His appointed time.
All ungodly people will
perish. It happens even when ungodly people die, now that God is still patient
and has yet to carry out the promise to destroy this world with fire. Such
ungodly people go to hell where satan and his demons continue to torture them
day and night for their offences against God while they were alive on earth.
Anyone who enters hell is
there FOREVER and has no opportunity to repent again. Jesus Christ has been
warning mankind, even recently, to stop sinning and return to Him, our Creator,
as the ONLY GUARANTEE OF ETERNAL LIFE IN THE HEREAFTER.
Even as you read this
message, Jesus Christ is talking to you and I to examine our lives, repent of
evil and turn to Him, for later or tomorrow may be too late. People die every
second all over the world today, just as people are born every second all over
the world.
If you want to end up in
heaven with Jesus, today is the time to take the decision to let Him rule over
your life.
Death does not know anyone's
age so if you think because you are young you have time, please reconsider
because everyone may know the day they were born but no one knows the day they
would die, except God Almighty, Who is Omniscient, all Knowing.
May the good Lord bless you
as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus' Mighty
Name, Amen.
