TOPIC: THE FIRST SHALL BE THE LAST
TEXT: MARK 9:43-48
Key Verse: “And if thine hand offend thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched” Mark 9:43.

Today we shall see the reason our Lord Jesus said 'the first shall be the last.’ Below is an excerpt of revelation of Jesus from the book: HOW TO ESCAPE HELL AND ENTER HEAVEN MADE SIMPLE.

“Jesus, the two angels and I stood together. He pointed his hand to hell and said, “Man cannot understand the nature of the torments of hell, however, go and tell him. Tell him if all the sufferings on earth were gathered to be borne by one man, it would still not be compared to what man will suffer for 24 hours in hell. Yet man may not understand, go and still tell him”. In my third visit to heaven and hell, the Lord Jesus and the angels had welcomed me with a smile at the beautiful pearly gate. We all stood quietly at the gate. I saw that the smiling face of Jesus suddenly changed into a sad and sorrowful one. I wondered what could have been responsible for that. I understood the reason by the event that immediately followed. When we were at the gate, a believer died on earth and was coming. He died that Monday around 6:00pm, not long after I was taken up. As he was coming towards the gate he was crying and pleading “will there not be mercy and forgiveness for me again? “What really happened? Jesus narrated to me the incidence of this man. He was a fervent believer whose name was in the Book of Life. That Monday morning, he bade farewell to his family and left for a journey. But unfortunately, Satan prepared a seductive lady against him. This lady seduced him in the public vehicle he boarded. When they arrived at their destination he took the lady to a hotel and slept with her. Within that period the devil succeeded in killing him. At the gate, he cried and pleaded with Jesus for mercy and forgiveness.” 

The situation of this man reveals the present state of many Christian in the church today. They are in the church but out of the narrow way, toying with sin. Titus 1:16, “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

Thought for the day: Life on earth will soon come to an end. Live with eternity in view.
Song for the day: Take time to be holy...
Bible reading for the day:  Genesis 20-22; Matthew 7

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
