There has always been a trend going on right from one generation to another that “Jesus is coming back soon” but many ignored it because it has always been said by the ancient men and it never came to pass, and for this reason, many are steadfast in their evil works. Some received their reward instantly like imprisonment, untimely death, terminal diseases, etc. and some did not receive any reward/judgement and they continue to say there is none that sees them.
The Bible says, “Because God does not punish sinners instantly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.” Ecclesiastes 8:11 (TLB)One of the greatest ignorance of man is DELAYED JUDGEMENT. All the thoughts of “I was not caught in the act, and that's all”, “no one else knows, so there will be no punishment”, “I've been doing it and succeeding, therefore, it's really not bad”, “my refusal to accepting JESUS did not hinder me from making it in life, so there is no repercussion in not believing and accepting Him”, etc. have occupied the hearts of many and thereby dulling their spiritual memory to continue their evil acts.
While Jesus was on this planet, He explained in parables the reason while this kind of judgement exists.
“Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' "'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' "'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.” Matthew 13:24-30 (NIV)Dear reader, your ignorance of not knowing and accepting Jesus and whatever you lay your hands upon are prospering does not mean you won't face its punishment at the end of your life.
The Good Book says, “And all who trust him--God’s Son--to save them have eternal life; those who don't believe and obey him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them." John 3:36 (TLB).
Accept Jesus today to turn away God’s anger from you.
Say this prayer right from the bottom of your heart with tears of repentance.
LORD JESUS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU INDEED CAME TO DIE FOR MY SINS. COME INTO MY HEART THIS DAY, CLEANSE ME WITH YOUR BLOOD. WRITE MY NAME INTO THE BOOK OF LIFE. I PROMISE NOT TO GO BACK TO SIN ANYMORE, UPHOLD ME WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE END IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
