For taking your time to study remain blessed
TOPIC: THE ETERNAL DOOM OF A CARELESS PREACHER. THURSDAY AUGUST 31
TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:15-17
KEY VERSE: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he
that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame.” (Revelation 16:15).
Still
at the gate of heaven, Michael Thomas Sambo narrated the pathetic story of a
careless preacher. He said:
Right
there at the gate with Jesus a preacher died that Saturday, 26th April, 2003,
between 1.00-4:00 pm and was coming towards the gate. Afar off when I saw him
he was dressed in white. This is the garment of Truth, Righteousness, and
Holiness which Christ gives believers. From the place I was standing, I could
not see any spot on him. He was coming toward the gate of heaven with
excitement. He wanted to walk in through the gate. But the angels shouted at
him and commanded him to stop. He was asked, “Where are you going to?” “I want to enter into heaven,” he
replied.
At
this time, Jesus fastened his eyes on him and said:
“When I saved
you from your sins, I gave you a garment of Righteousness and Holiness of life.
I warned you against defiling this garment. Your garment is now spotted with
the world. This is not the garment I gave you when I saved you”
“The Father is
Holy, I am holy, the Spirit is holy; the angels are holy, the saints in heaven
are holy, all living creatures in heaven are holy. Above all, heaven has been
dedicated unto holy living. Nothing that is defiled, or that worketh
abomination or that telleth or loveth a lie shall in any wise enter into it.
Therefore man, you cannot enter into heaven.”
From
today's account we see that it is wise to fear God. Don't claim to be too
familiar with GOD, His ways or His word. You must daily examine yourself
whether you are still in the faith.
Thought for the day:
Don’t take your salvation for granted. Self-examine your life.
Song for the day: I want to live
eternal life, Lord save my soul.
