TOPIC: CROWD DOES NOT MOVE GOD
TEXT: Psalm 78:27-31
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the
intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
History has shown that crowd does not move God. One of the common arguments by unrepentant sinners against God's judgment is that God is too loving to send multitudes of sinners to hell. People who pass such comments fail to learn from history. God can destroy the whole of Nigeria (a country in Africa) with its population of about 170 million people and God will still remain God!
In the time of the great flood, only Noah and his seven relatives survived. The rest of the world perished in the deluge. When God visited the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in judgment, only righteous Lot and his two daughters survived. The reality on ground is that multitudes of departed souls are trooping to hell every minute of the day including the lowly and mighty in the society, the poor and the rich, the commoners and nobles.
Isaiah 5:13-15; 13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no
knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
It is estimated that about 6,300 people die every one hour and 152,000 every day all over the world. That brings the number of dead to about 55million every year. How many of this number go to heaven? The bible says “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
This means only a negligible few of the dead find their way to heaven. The number of those going to hell is so large that the capacity of hell is too small to contain them so hell continually enlarges itself to take in more damned souls.
Out of over two million Israelites that left Egypt during the exodus, only two men entered the
Promised Land. The rest perished in the wilderness as a result of their rebellion.
Only righteous Joshua and Caleb survived. You don't have to follow evil men to hell. Today, you can choose to retrace your steps back to God and live differently.
Thought for the day: Salvation is personal. Do not follow the crowd to do wrong
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart o Lord, and renew a right spirit within me
Bible reading for the day 2 Kings 1-3; John 3:22-36
