HELP FROM THE PIT OF HELL
Proverbs 22:22-23 (AMPC)
“22 Rob not the poor [being tempted by their helplessness], neither oppress the afflicted at the gate [where the city court is held],
“22 Rob not the poor [being tempted by their helplessness], neither oppress the afflicted at the gate [where the city court is held],
23 For the Lord will plead their cause and
deprive of life those who deprive [the poor or afflicted].”
Dear people of
God, by the grace of Almighty God, I have a spiritual daughter God used me to
convert to Christianity some 3 year ago.
From time to
time, we discuss the Word of God over the phone and she tells me how her mum
has been oppressing her and asking her to come back to her former congregation,
which she has vehemently refused because she has come to know the Truth found
only in Christ Jesus my Lord.
Only
yesterday, I spoke again to this lady after a long while and she told me how
her mum had continued to refuse fending for her and how things have become
quite difficult for her financially.
I discussed
concerning tithes with her and she acknowledged that she had stopped paying
tithes because of her financial difficulties. However, I took time to explain
to her that there is no financial condition where one is excused from paying
tithes as long as money continues to enter your hand.
I made her
understand that as God’s Word has made clear, it is only tithes a Christian
pays in obedience to God’s commandments that would take such person out of
poverty for life – Malachi 3:10-12.
She
acknowledged her errors and promised to take tithes payment seriously from now
on.
In the course
of our discussion, this lady told me how several men had all promised to help
her and all of them had one condition, which was to take her to bed. She even
narrated how one collected her job resume from her and asked her to enter his
vehicle to go somewhere to discuss, only for him to take her to a hotel for the
same sinful reason of wanting to take her to bed.
The man tried
severally to convince her to join him in the hotel room but again as before in
other cases, she refused to succumb to the man’s evil intention and told him to
take his job and the man dropped her off.
My
spiritual daughter further told me how her female friends told her that for all
the jobs they had, they had slept with the men who gave them the job and so
they could not understand why she was refusing to tow the same line.
They ended
by telling her to sit and wait for a miracle that they know would never come!!
Dear
friend, with this narrative above, one can see the rottenness of SOME of
today’s youths who are unconcerned about their relationship with God or where
they would spend their eternity after the present life.
What
concerns them the most is how to give their bodies over to ungodly men to use
for the sake of help NOW from the pit of hell.
By God’s
grace I have helped several men and women out of the pity and the fear of God and
obedience to God’s commands. Not once have I taken advantage of them because it
is a grievous sin against God punishable by UNTIMELY death as today’s lead Holy
Bible text above makes us understand.
Of course a
large number of those I have helped have taken advantage of my kindness to them
but I did not hold it against them. What they have succeeded in doing is
closing the door to any other help I would have given to them, but that is not
the topic for today.
The
question is, why do so many people today, the menfolk especially, want to play
god in the lives of the needy and oppress them?
Why are
they interested in destroying innocent lives and even their own lives in the
process because of no fear of God?
Do they not
know that God Almighty and Father of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ sees and
knows all things and sees their heart that they are taking undue advantage of
others?
I have a
word of advice to every lady out there reading this who believes her life is in
the hand of a man who has to sleep with her to offer her help. What you are
doing is destroying your destiny and sending yourself to an eternal damnation
in HELL if you die in what you are doing.
Your body
is the temple of God’s Holy Spirit and so you should never defile God’s temple
with sins of the flesh. In case you are unaware, a sin of the body is not a
work of the devil but a sin of your own flesh to which you have yielded and it
is within your power to stop it and come out of it before it is too late.
You must
also understand that God Almighty has more than enough resources to cater for
every single human being He has created, so it is not a matter of scarce
resources from God to help everyone.
It is
simply a matter of ignorance of God’s commandments and failure to either obey
or act on them that causes Christians to suffer avoidable hardships.
One who is
not a Christian is under the power of the devil who would always take advantage
of him or her to cause hardships through poverty and sickness.
For a
Christian, satan tries everything to discourage you from believing, trusting
and serving God and two ways satan does this is by causing poverty and
sickness.
The
Christian who is living a life of righteous obedience to God’s commands in the
Holy Bible and who knows and acts on his rights as a child of God would always
overcome the works of the devil.
Dear
friend, in life there are always options. Don’t sell your soul to the devil for
a pot of porridge because it would finish and you would always have to run back
to the devil for more help from the pit of hell, which would eventually land
you there in HELL forever when you die in sin.
On the
other hand, the option of coming out of sin, confessing to God and forsaking
sin, accepting the Lordship of Jesus Christ over your life and then faithfully
obeying and acting on Jesus’ commands in the Holy Bible would not only ensure
total victory for you on this earth but also give you an assurance of eternity
in heaven when you die.
For as it
is written in Proverbs 14:32, “The wicked is overthrown through his wrongdoing and calamity, but the [consistently]
righteous has hope and confidence
even in death.”
May the
good Lord bless you as you heed His Word this day, act on it and share with
others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
