TEENAGER RETURNS FROM HELL WITH A MESSAGE (2)
TEXT: Acts 9:39-42
MONDAY JANUARY 30th
KEY VERSE: Acts 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.”
(Continued from yesterday)
Suddenly, a mighty voice called him thrice, asking if he knew where he was going. He answered that he was on his way to hellfire and began to plead for mercy. The Lord showed him mercy; He commanded him to go back, confess his sins, do his restitution and give a warning message to his people. The Lord promised to send an angel to bring him to heaven afterward. He said all his sins were loaded upon his chest as he carried them on the broad way to hell. He made several confessions; stealing handsets, selling a stolen tipper-load of sand, and cheating his fellows while sharing the money.
He also confessed to defiling a child, etc…He begged for forgiveness and asked his brother, the pastor to help him go around and do restitution on his behalf. The brother diligently went to those places and as he confessed to them, they all said, “Yes, it is true but now we forgive him.” Nurses, patients, and others wept openly, confessing their sins and repenting to the glory of God. Meanwhile, his brother returned and reported that he was not able to see some of the people.
The young man turned and prayed, “Lord Jesus, I have done as You commanded but we could not see some of them. Please Lord, will You forgive me?” The Lord Jesus replied, ‘Yes I forgive you.’ The young man shouted with joy and gratitude. He led the people gathered around him to the Lord in prayers. He bid farewell to his family, blessed his little sister then told one of his brothers to repent. He then shouted, “The angel to take me home has arrived. See him!” He pointed at the angel but the crowd could not see the angel. He was hale and hearty and in sound, as he bid them farewell, then slumped and died.
Thought for the day: Mercy triumphs over judgment
Song for the day: Over the river Jordan, we shall meet…
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 22-24; Matthew 20:17-34
