I enjoy living in a
place that has the covering of God on it. Some say that is why there have been
no attacks on Living Faith Church (Bishop Oyedepo's church) even with what has
been going on in it. Sadly, it has caused
quite a number of people living here to be lax, because they do not fear
certain things that we ought to, e.g. God, the fact that we will ALL die and
face God's judgement.(Don’t look so shocked- no one leaves this planet alive
anyway).
However, there is a
downside in living in a place like this. You see we are under the watchful eyes
of God, which means he focuses on this part of nigeria a lot (probably more
than other parts). Remember in the bible when the Israelites got into the promised
land, and they were living right initially, but then they started allowing sin
in their midst, in the book of Judges. What did God do? He SENT people to
attack them…. Now that sounds a bit wrong. But it is what happened. As we are
the Children of God, brought out from spiritual bondage and on our way to the
promised land (coincidentially, this place is called Canaan land), we should
please remember that just because God says he is a God of grace, does not mean
he has forgotten his law which says that the soul that sins shall die. Grace
does not mean hiding in the saving power of what Jesus Christ did and keep on
sinning, because there will still be judgement for those who do wrong. And the
bible says that Judgement will begin with the house of God. This morning, God
in his mercies allowed internet to be going in my hall ( something just until
recent a rarity) so I could tell you to please get it right. The word of God is
not a book of suggestions, just as the work your oga gives you in your place of
work really does not have an option. You HAVE to do it, else no pay, and u get
fired and someone better takes your place. God is going to fire a lot of
people( sadly exposing them to the harsh cruel world of unemployment, which
means no food, house, basic amenities; which is quite sad because you cant
really steal or kidnap or even get into the place where God will heep his
children. He will not allow dangerous people into the place where he keeps his
children, and you will be locked outside, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. No beggars too- God
only accepts people who can work- proved by the work we did here on earth), and
that’s how things are. Take one minute of your 1140 minute day and think on
this. On that day, will you receive a pay ( and maybe a bonus) or get kicked
out? Because the only place you can make your decisions is here on earth before
you die; and with the boko haram insurgence, the high rates of kidnapping, the
accidents, the murders and assasinations, hunger problems and sicknesses in the
world, you never really know when that is going to be...
