A NIGERIAN SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE IN THE LAND OF THE DEAD (1)

TEXT: John 12:20-23 

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11th 

KEY VERSE: Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
“It happened during the Nigerian civil war. I had enlisted in the Nigerian army, determined to fight on the battlefield. At the end of our training, I was made a quartermaster. I was to be in charge of the issuance of uniforms and ammunition to soldiers. In my heart, I loathed the quarter master’s work. I was itching to be a combatant soldier. I was finally allowed to fight on the battlefield. I wasn't quite three months at the battlefront when I was shot. When the bullet hit me, I did not know that anything had happened. I was enveloped in a thick darkness that cannot be described and I began to run. I did not know that I had died.
While I was running in the darkness, I saw a spotlight ahead. I was happy. If I could pass through the darkness, I would enter into the light, I had reasoned. I pressed on. When I reached just a short distance from the light, I saw two paths in front of me. As I stood, wondering which way to go, I heard a voice like thunder asking, “Where are you coming from?" I said I was coming from the world. The voice asked how long I lived in the world and what I did while in the world. Then I began to confess. I did not even know that anything had happened. I did not know that I was dead. It was just like a normal conversation.
I recounted everything I had done from the age of seven. I wanted to tell lies but it was impossible. My mouth spoke as if a tape recorder was playing. After recounting all my evil deeds, I burst into tears. Yet as I was weeping, I kept on confessing all the evil I did. When I finished talking, a book appeared before me in which was written all the sins I had committed since the age of seven. I realized then that in death, there is no question of illiteracy. Even if you were illiterate in life, you will be able to read in death. That day, when you finish confessing, you will read again all the sins you committed, for there is no partiality there. The book was in front of me and I continued to read from it.  (To be continued tomorrow)

Thought for the day: Have a proper understanding of eternity

Song for the day: Where will you spend eternity?

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:20-54

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
