We have to make sure that we do not run our Christian race in vain.
It is very possible to be a Christian and still end up in Hell. Paul in
1 Corinthians 9:25-27 says,"Everyone who competes for the prize is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown,
but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with
uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I
discipline my body and bring it into subjection..."
He says those
who run for the earthy crown in a race do all things the proper way so
that they may not he disqualified. How much more should we be zealous in
obeying our Lord then that we may obtain an eternal crown? If we do not
obey,we will be disqualified from entering Heaven. Paul also says in
order not to be disqualified, I put my body under subjection. That is
crucifying the flesh and all its lusts.
The Lord Jesus Christ gave
me a very urgent message for his church today. He said his church is in
danger of the fires of Hell because they are still holding on to some
things in the world. The way he spoke to me made me very scared. He said
to me in a urgent tone like someone warning of a great danger ahead. He
said, "Zipporah, my children are watching secular Tv. Even some of
the people you tell the messages to on Facebook! They are watching
secular Tv!! They watch secular Tv thinking they will repent just before
they die or they will stop later.
Tell them that is the devil
speaking directly to their minds and hearts. He is deceiving them so
that they can die in their sins. How do they know when they will die for
them to say they will repent later? Or how do they know by which means
of death they will die for them to say they will repent just before they
die? What if they die in a flash with no chance to even repent?
Today is the day of salvation and not later. Tell them not to take me
for granted. Let them love me with all their hearts and not be
undecided. Someone who really loves me repents and amends their ways.
Anyone who loves their lives wants to be loved by the world and to keep
their reputation. They think they will be seen as foolish if they
practice Holiness. They know the truth but do not obey it. When they see
death nearby,they say words of repentance to me. I will not hear their
prayer because they have said that repentance,not because they are truly
sorry but because they have seen death are scared of going to Hell.
Anyone who loves me obeys me.
Daughter,tell them that any voice that
tells them to do opposite from what is in my word is the devil. Tell
them that any voice that tells them to repent later is the voice of the
devil. Tell them that anyone who tells them to do things contrary to
what I say is being used by the devil. He opens his mouth but the devil
speaks directly from his mouth,opposing my word. Making people sin.
Many of them are even demons in human form deceiving you . Hell is
waiting.
The devil is working very hard to get your souls. Even
just one soul matters a great deal to him. Hell is horrible and that is
where he wants to take you."
Brethren, Jesus in Matthew 10:39 says,
"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My
sake will find it." What is secular Tv or anything else for that matter
which is keeping us from fully obeying the Lord?
Jesus said, ask my
children, "Is Secular Tv worth much more than your soul? Is anything
else you're clinging to worth much more than your soul?"
Hebrews
says let us take Jesus the author and finisher of our faith as an
example who,for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame. He didn't look at the present moment but looked at
the eternal reward. In the same way,let us despise the mocking of people
of the world. Who mock us for being Holy,let us not go back to our
sins,watching secular Tv and other things which are temporary. Let us
love pleasing God more than pleasing men for no one can save two masters
at one time. Let us count all things as dung for the sake of
Christ,looking forward to our eternal reward.
We are not the first
to be tempted and neither will we be the last. Everyone in the world is
going through the same things and with the help of the Holy Spirit,the
victory is ours. So let us not backslide.
2 Peter 2:20-22 says, "
For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,they are again entangled
in them and are overcome,the latter end is worse for them than the
beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the
way of righteousness,than having known it,to turn from the Holy
commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to
the true proverb, 'A dog returns to his own vomit,' a sow having washed
to his wallowing in the mire."
Nothing is worth more than your
soul. The devil is just lying to you so that he can have your soul. If
we go back to our old ways,the punishment is so bad that the bible
says,it would have been better if we had never known the truth than
after knowing it,to disobey.
We need to crucify the flesh and put
our body under subjection. This world is full of temptations but we have
to overcome. There is only one way of remaining totally holy and ready
for the Lord or for the rapture and that is prayer. Any Christian who is
not praying will be overcome by the world.
Philippians 3:20 says, "
For our citizen is in Heaven,from which we also eagerly wait for the
saviour,the Lord Jesus Christ." How does someone who is eager behave?
Are they relaxed or lazy? Someone who is eagerly waiting for something
is constantly on the watch that they may not miss it.
In Matthew
6:41, Jesus also says to watch and pray lest we fall into temptation.
Without serious prayer,we will be overcome. These are the instructions
the bible gives about our Christian lives over and over again. It always
talks about prayer. This is the lives the apostles lived. A life of
prayer,communion with God and also fastings. Many words refer to prayer
in the bible.We are told to wait on the Lord, to call,to submit,to be
still etc. With a revelation of the Holy Spirit,we know that all these
words refer prayer.
Let us look to our reward for no eye has
seen,no ear heard and neither has mind imagined what the Lord has
prepared for us. This earth and all its things are passing away.
May serious prayer become a reality in our lives so that we can overcome.
SHALOM
