OF YOUTH AND FRAUDSTERS

 Mark 8:36-37 (AMPC)
 “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [in the eternal Kingdom of God]?
 
37 For what can a man give as an exchange (a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his [blessed] life [in the eternal Kingdom of God]?”
 
Dear people of God, in the first week of July 2020, we were inundated with stories of a notorious Nigerian fraudster who was arrested in Dubai for the fraudulent hacking into companies and individual bank accounts and stealing of hundreds of millions of dollars of people’s money.
 
This young Nigerian fellow was working with others in different parts of the world in a criminal ring that caused real pain for many innocent and hardworking folks, ripping them off their money through a well-coordinated fraud ring.
 
What is sad about this is that this fraudster as of then had over 2 million Instagram followers where he unashamedly displayed evidence of his accomplishments through fraud, adorning expensive clothing from well-known brands and driving the very best of vehicles this world has known.
 
EVentually, he and few members of his gang were arrested and extradited by the FBI from the United Arab Emirates to the United States of America to face a criminal prosecution that landed them in jail for over 10 years.
 
What is equally most unfortunate is that even with this development, there are literally thousands and thousands of youth from many different nations in many different parts of the world engaged in this same criminal activity.
 
They are carrying on without caring a hoot about their criminal enterprise and it is only when they are caught they begin to sing like canneries and tell on other members of their gang.
 
As long as they are not caught, they continue to defraud others of their hard earned money and make an open display for all to see and applaud them for their feat.
 
They buy homes and live in the best neighbourhoods, drive the most expensive vehicles, frolic with women of easy virtue, married and single, throw parties, take narcotics, drink alcohol, play loud music, and so on and so forth.
 
Are they really bothered about the eternal consequences of their actions? If they were, they certainly wouldn’t be engaged in fraud and criminality.
 
Do they believe they can die any minute? I doubt it because they are deceived by their youth and believe they have many years ahead of them.
 
What they fail to understand is that the individual who lives in sin though young physically has an old person’s spirit and is spiritually dead as far as relationship with God is concerned.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ asked a valid question, what do you achieve when you have the whole of this world for not more by 120 years by God’s current reckoning and then off you go to a world without end, an eternity in perpetual and unending pain, torture and suffering from fire and worms that never die?
 
How many people even get to live up to 120 years today? Very few.
 
Check throughout history about those who engaged in criminal enterprise and see how many ended well? None, because crime never pays. The only ones who would end well are those who repent, confess their sins, ask God and their victims for forgiveness and make all restitution as required and end a life of crime and criminality.
 
Even if the criminal believes he or she has escaped this world’s justice system, there is God’s Righteous Judgement awaiting the person on the other side.
 
See what God’s Word says in Revelation 11:18 (AMPC), “And the heathen (the nations) raged, but Your wrath (retribution, indignation) came, the time when the dead will be judged and Your servants the prophets and saints rewarded–and those who revere (fear) Your Name, both low and high and small and great – and [the time] for destroying the corrupters of the earth.”
 
Dear friend, in this passage of the Holy Bible, you can clearly see there is a Judgement from God of the dead, a reward of God’s servants, the prophets and the saints, those who fear God’s Name.
 
There is also a destruction of those who corrupt the earth. In case you do not know, those who corrupt the earth are those who live in sin and die in sin without repentance and without Salvation and eternal life found only in the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
So, what then is the gain of the youth or old person who currently lives in sin when his or her future is doomed for sure?
 
Absolutely nothing.
 
Do not make the mistake of saying you want to enjoy your current life of sin and then you would repent later because the sinner is never sure of the day he or she would die and it could even be today for you after reading this message and you still harden your heart.
 
Do you not know that the coronavirus "plandemic" or "scamdemic" of 2020 -2021 is a proof that the devil and his agents are fighting hard to scheme their evil enterprise into existence as the Bible states about the coming Great Tribulation in Matthew 24:21?
 
The devil is going to torture mercilessly any human being no matter who you are if you refuse to worship him or take his mark of the beast on your forehead or right hand – Revelation 13:16-17.
 
This mark of the beast is the RFID microchip science has produced and the devil and his agents are waiting for the right time shortly to compel people to take it. It is going to be a horrendous experience for anyone who refuses to take this mark of the beast.
 
However, God has warned clearly in Revelation 14:9-11 that eternal destruction awaits anyone who takes this mark of the beast.
 
The reason I’m drawing your attention to all of these things is because we are already in that time the Bible is talking about and so it means the Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming for His saints is imminent but the devil would have his sway shortly to create more pain, torture and suffering in the great tribulation.
 
Repent today, fraudster, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Return all you have stolen by fraud to their rightful owners and make a commitment to God never to go back to a lifestyle of fraud because it is only eternal damnation awaiting all such persons.
 
Get yourself a Holy Bible and tell God to teach and guide you as you study His Word to know and obey the Truth of God’s Word, which contains the power to save your soul. Ask God in prayer to lead you to a genuine church and obey Him when He does and start fellowship with them and live right before God and before humans.
 
Remember that Jesus Christ is coming NOW to take ONLY those who are qualified according to His righteous standards in the Holy Bible.
 
Are you living a genuine life as His disciple? Are you ready for Him? Come to Jesus today for tomorrow may be too late for you.
 
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
 
Gabriel Ama.
