Choose Your Destiny

You are the product of God's agenda and He is the one who knows your end from the beginning.He knows every atom and ions that make up your being.He chose the right quantity of raw materials to make you who you are.
God Has mapped out a better way for you to choose your destiny for yourself
1) You choose your destiny by believing in the finished work of Christ- Your ultimate destiny rests on the death,burial,resurrection and ascension of Christ to heaven.So if you reject Christ you reject your destiny.
2) Depend on the Word of God- The Bible says His word is yes and amen.You destiny depend on you pumping the word of God into your mind Joshuah1:8
3) Be a man of prayer- Your attitude to prayer goes a long way to choosing the right destiny.When men pray God moves to change the destiny from bad to good one.The case of Jabez is a wonderful case study.He never had a good destiny until he bowed his kneels  to God of the whole universe.So do the same and your will become a man of great destiny
4) Embrace righteousness-Proverbs 14:34.A righteous man is on the pedestal of good destiny that outlived him because his grand children will share in his deeds
5) Hate evil- those that love God and hate evil has chosen a destiny that can never be corrupted or defiled.In doing that , they have cut an everlasting covenant with God.
If you follow all these steps you have chosen a destiny that can never be forgotten.

THE BEAST IS COMING

                                                       
    These are the end times (of a truth they are) and now is the time to get saved. We need the Lord Jesus Christ right now and we need him when we die. May you save yourselves from this untoward, wicked, and perverse generation (ref. Acts 2:40). Look at all the sins in this wicked world. Each man, woman, boy, and girl has contributed their share of sins by lying, stealing, etc. The Word of God came down here to the earth in the form of a man named Jesus. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. While he was here, the Lord Jesus Christ taught us how to live and left us the record in his word, the Bible. When the Lord Jesus was about 30 years old, he was nailed to a cross where he shed his precious blood to pay for our sins so that we can be forgiven of our sins. But our Lord Jesus Christ did not remain dead--it was not possible that the Son of God should be holden by death (Acts 2:24). God the Father raised his holy child, Jesus, from the dead on the third day and now he is alive for evermore watching over his church and helping us. If you are not saved, you need to be saved. We all need the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sins so that we can know God through his word, the holy Bible, and do what is right. The gospel message is simple and plain, (1) Repent of your sins, (2) believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead, and (3) obey the beautiful, perfect, life-giving words of Jesus (ref. Heb. 5:9). When you get saved by the blood of Jesus and start obeying the word, you get a new kind of life and a new mind. Thieves stop stealing and start living honestly. Liars start telling the truth. Whores start walking uprightly as sanctified, holy women. Drunkards become sober and upright. Behold, all things become new when you live your life by the words of Jesus, praise his blessed and holy name for ever, Amen.

    "...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II Corinthians 5:17

    The man of sin is coming soon and he is going to deceive the whole world and rule it. The Bible teaches that BY PEACE HE SHALL DESTROY MANY (ref. Dan 8:25). People are going to like him, wonder at him, worship him, follow him--including church hypocrites and every unbeliever. I perceive that after the chaos that now looms on the horizon, his solutions will be welcomed by the unsaved. Saved people will understand exactly what is happening and who this man is, but none of the wicked shall understand. The man of sin will be an obvious antichrist to those who are saved. There are many antichrists (I John 2:18), the man of sin will be the king of them all. People who are antichrist deny God the Father and his holy child, Jesus (ref. I John 2:22)). THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IS ALREADY IN THE WORLD AND GAINING MORE POWER, MOMENTUM, AND PROMINENCE BY THE MOMENT. The antichrist is going to shew who and what he really is when he opens up his mouth in blasphemy and implements his oppressive policies and laws--

        Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

        Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

        Daniel 8:23 ...when the transgressors [sinners, people who do not keep God's commandments] are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

        Daniel 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [his power comes from that old serpent called the Devil and Satan]: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [he will make war with the saints and overcome them, Rev. 13:7].

        Daniel 8:25 And through his policy [his laws and rules and regulations] also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand [evilness and sins will prosper under him, he is the man of sin and sinners will cleave to this evilness]; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many [he acts like a man of peace and people will believe his words about "peace." People worldwide will be deceived, deluded, and fooled--to their everlasting detriment.]: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand [after his time of evil is finished, he will be destroyed notwithstanding all his pronouncements and evil acts].

    This wicked, Satanically-powered individual will oppose God and then have the audacity to sit in the temple of God showing himself that he is actually God. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again, but first there must be a falling away and that man of sin be revealed--

        II Thessalonians 2:2-4 ...the day of Christ is at hand.

        Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

        Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God

    .

    Revelation 13 calls this man, "the beast." It teaches that the beast receives his power from the devil himself--the devil is Satan. Some people call him Lucifer. The beast may call himself Christ, but he is Antichrist and he opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God (ref. II Thes 2:4). But he will not stop there. The beast is going to make war against the saints (Rev 13:7) and overcome them physically, but even so, saved people will overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb (who is the Lord Jesus Christ) and by the word of their testimony. Unsaved people will take the mark of the beast in their right hand or in their forehead--ALL PEOPLE THAT TAKE THIS MARK WILL GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE WHERE THEY WILL BURN FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.

        Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

        Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and HE SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb [Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who was slain to pay for our sins. He rose from the dead three days later.]:

        Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: AND THEY HAVE NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT, WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE, AND WHOSOEVER RECEIVETH THE MARK OF HIS NAME.

    If you want eternal life, now is the time to get saved and get your testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ. If you do not want to spend eternity in hell and the lake of fire, NOW IS THE TIME TO GET SAVED AND WORSHIP GOD THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST. OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST CAME TO GIVE US LIFE, AND THAT MORE ABUNDANTLY, BUT THE DEVIL'S MAN (YEA, ALL THE DEVIL'S MEN), COMES FOR OPPRESSION AND EVIL AND SINS. THE DEVIL AND HIS MINISTERS COME NOT BUT FOR TO STEAL AND TO KILL AND TO DESTROY.

    Revelation 13 teaches that unsaved people worldwide will wonder at the beast and worship him. These people will also worship the dragon who gives him his power (the dragon is that old serpent called the Devil and Satan). The devil gives the beast his power and all the people worldwide will accept that and will actually worship the devil himself. Understand that even the devil can appear as an angel of light (II Cor 11:14). The devil can make the unsaved think he is good and peaceful. All he has to do is put on a costume and say some "kindly" words and put a smile on his face. Those that know the word will immediately hear those "kindly" words as dragon speak because they will say the opposite of what the Authorized Version of the Bible says.

    The beast will have a false prophet who will perform miracles--all of the unsaved people of the world will be totally impressed with those lying miracles. The false prophet will perform those miracles in order to deceive people. There is only one group that will not be deceived--saved people, those that believe in Jesus Christ and are obedient to his word. Unsaved people will worship the beast and wonder at his war-making abilities. And if they want to buy and sell in the marketplace and go to the grocery store, the doctor, etc.--they will take his mark in their right hand or in their forehead (Rev. 13:16). The Bible teaches that everyone who takes that mark will go to the lake of fire. If you are unsaved when the man of sin comes, you will be impressed with him too because you will be deceived. Time is winding up and the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back. Anyone who is not saved when he comes back will take their place in the lake of fire. Read more about the beast in Revelation chapter 13 of the Authorized Version of the Bible.

    The Bible prophesied that there would be a falling away of the church into error. Many, many church people--including preachers, deacons, "bishops," etc.--are on their way to hell. They do not follow the holy scriptures. They do whatever they want to do and live just like the world. Don't depend on "church" to save you. You need to read the Bible for yourself and obey it. People distort the truth and make up all kinds of lies, myths, stories, and legends--you need to get yourself an Authorized King James Bible (with all the thee's and thou's--NOT the new modern versions). If you know God's word for yourself nobody can fool you, and trick you, and deceive you. NO ONE! Jesus left ALL of his commands, instructions, comforts, and warnings for us in the Authorized Bible (not these new, modern counterfeit Bibles like the NIV that delete verses). Satanic attacks against the word of God and our precious Lord Jesus Christ are rapidly increasing as time is winding up and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ draws near. Judgment day is coming. Now is the time to get ready. When the book of life is opened you will want your name there. If it is not, you will go to the lake of fire for all of eternity (Rev. 20:15), that place of everlasting shame and contempt (Dan 12:2) where their worm dieth not and their fire is not quenched (Isa. 66:24, Mark 9:44, 46, 48). Now is the time to prepare. There are many antichrists in the world. If you get saved and read your Bible, they will not fool you.

    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me,
    let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
    For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
    or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
    For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels;
    and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

May you be found worthy and ready when He comes for His saints.

HELL IS REAL

People don't like to hear about hell. But I'm here to tell you that if Jesus is not your Lord and Savior, you are on your way to hell. Some of you will be upset at this bad news. You think that I'm all gloom and doom. Tell me this...if your house were on fire, would you want me to let you know? Of course you would. You'd probably thank me for telling you. Well, if you go to hell, YOU will be the one on fire.

Hell may not be a politically correct topic these days, but many people enter hell everyday. Out of the 120,000 people that die everyday, most end up in hell. Hell is a real place despite the fact that people laugh and say that they want to go there. They simply don't understand how terrible hell is. Just because you've never seen hell doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We have a searing, accurate description of what hell is like in God's word. (We'll get to some scriptures in a minute) Hell is awful and if you don't believe in Jesus, you'd better get on the stick or else that's going to be your eternal destination.

Satan, the god of this world, WILL NOT always cause havoc. His doom is already foretold, "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)

Did you know that if you do not belong to Jesus Christ you belong to Satan? You don't have to be a card carrying Satanist to serve Satan. You don't have to be a murderer, drunkard or drug addict, either. All you have to do is ignore Jesus Christ. If you don't have Jesus today, you are deceived and hell bound--you are a child of hell, a child of the devil.

How many times have I heard someone say, "A loving God wouldn't put His creatures in hell." Well I have news for you, friend, God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:9). Know ye not that hell was not created for man? Hell was created for the devil and his angels--

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS. (Matthew 25:41)

Men go to hell because they choose the devil's way and reject the Lord Jesus Christ. God is holy and will not allow any sin in His kingdom. As a result, when people die in their sins they are forever banished from the presence of God to a fiery place called hell--a place of shame, contempt, and torment. Incidentally, Satan won't be ruling in the lake of fire. He'll be condemned and tormented just like everybody else--

the devil...shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)

Think about this...God, out of profound love for you--a vile sinner who has transgressed His commandments--let His own beautiful, dear Son be sacrificed for YOUR sins! Jesus wasn't a sinner. He didn't sin one time. He didn't die for Himself. He died for you. To save YOU. That's why He is called the Saviour. Because He SAVES from hell and sin! If you reject His sacrifice and trod it underfoot it should not be too hard for you to understand that the same God who sacrificed His beloved Son will expeditiously cast your rebellious hind parts into hell and the lake of fire. NOTHING unclean will ever enter God's heaven--and all unregenerate people are unclean. I too was once dead in trespasses and sins, but one lovely day I turned my face to Jesus and got washed in the blood. You can too--no matter what you've done.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18

God does not want you in hell! Jesus came to save you from that horrible place! Get right with Jesus and you won't go there! Look at these scriptures:

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... (Ezekiel 33:11)

The Lord is...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9)

The Bible teaches that God loves you so much that the Creator of this universe (Jesus Christ) came to "taste death" for every man. Jesus wasn't just some baby for a manger scene. He is God come in the flesh to destroy the power of death and hell--He holds the keys, people! If you say yes to Jesus, hell won't be your final destination. If you say no to Jesus, the lake of fire will be your eternal home. There is no getting out and no comfort--it's everlasting.

Regardless of whether you believe it or not, hell exists and the Bible says that it is never full. I've heard folks say that hell is not mentioned in the Bible or that hell is just the grave. Well, let's take a look at what the Authorized King James Bible says. Here are a few scriptures that deal with hell and the lake of fire (at the final judgment, hell, death and those not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone):

Matthew 25:41 (Jesus speaking to people at final judgment), ...Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.

Revelation 14:11, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night...

Revelation 20:12, 15, And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Luke 12:5, But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which AFTER he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Matthew 18:8, 9 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Matthew 25:46, And these shall go away into EVERLASTING punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

II Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with EVERLASTING destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.

Isaiah 66:24, And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be abhorring unto all flesh.

Mark 9:44 (speaking of hell), Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Jude 7, Sodom and Gomorrha...are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Matthew 22:13, ...Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:41-42, The Son of man (Jesus) shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Revelation 21:8, But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Psalm 9:17, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Isaiah 14:99-11, 15 (referring to Lucifer), Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee...all they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee...thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Daniel 12:2, And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and EVERLASTING contempt.

The following account, told by the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 16:19-31, gives us the actual words of a man in hell--notice how he is in torment and he can see and his tongue is hot and he is tormed in the flame. Notice how how wanted his brethren to be warned lest they entered that place of torment. Notice how the only hope that his brethren had was to believe the holy scriptures--there would be no other proof:

19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28. For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

In order to be saved, you have to repent of your sins and believe that Jesus died for you, was buried, and rose again the third day. If you continue in his word, the Holy Bible (the Authorized King James Bible, the modern versions are counterfeits), then are you his disciple indeed. God has no pleasure that you should die in your sins. There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth (Luke 15:10). Going to church will not save you. You have to repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and obey his holy words until the end. The thief (the devil) cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy: but the Lord Jesus Christ came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. the Lord Jesus Christ came to rescue us from sin and from the wages of sin which is death (physical death and everlasting torment in hell and the lake of fire).

Hell is real and those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ will be tormented forever without a single, solitary hope. Hell is real but you can be saved. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Now, while you are still alive, is the time when you can be accepted by God. Tomorrow is not promised to you--now is the time to make your decision. If you die in your sins, you will not be accepted and you will not get another chance to repent. You will be rejected. Heaven is for God's people. Unrepentant thieves, liars, whore mongers, witches, murderers, sodomites, church hypocrites, false worshiper (people who follow false religions), haters of God, etc. have to go somewhere else, a place of outer darkness where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

WHY DO MEN PRAY?

Prayer is the fundamental part of a man's life to be fulfilled.Where there is no prayer there is no fulfillment.
Prayer can affect your life and change the atmosphere that is contrary to your destiny.Work cannot do the work of prayers because when men work,men work but when men pray God works.Prayer is the life wire of Christianity and prayer is the master key to every great achievement of life.
Why do men pray? why do men need to embark on prayer for there survival in this world that is full of evil?
To prosper in life,you need to pray and seek the face of the God of Israel diligently.To excellently excel in life you have to be a man of prayer.
Then why do men Pray?

• Men pray because prayer changes the date of death -Isa.38:1-5.From this scripture, we can see that king Hezekiah refused to keep silent,he refused to reside to fate,he refused to bow to the pool of negative prophesies.
• Men pray because prayer changes the negative destiny-1chronicles4:9-10.The man here was tagged the child of sorrow because he was born by a mother who went through terrible pain at his child birth but when he sought the God that has the destiny of a man in His hand.His negative destiny was turned to the glorious destiny.
• Men pray because prayer makes the barren to become fruitful-1Sam.1:9-17.Hannah was barren for several decades.She was a laughing stock to her concubine and people around her.She has become the forgotten and rejected by the people of her days.But the day she prayed her heart out,God put an end to every barrenness in her life and she became the mother of a wonderful seven children.
• Men pray because prayer makes a man to sing a new song.1Sam.2:2-5.When you pray fervently,God will make you to sing a new song.he ensures that your mouth is filled with laughter and joy unspeakable.
• Men pray because prayer brings deliverance from the bondage of the enemy.There are so many people that are in the bondage of the enemy through out there lives.Some are in the bondage of fear of death,bondage of fear of failure and every sort of bondage.But when the vanguard of prayer is raised consistently,they will be delivered completely.  

The more we understand why do men pray, the more we give ourselves to prayer and changes the world for better.Hence keep on praying without ceasing and you will see the effects of prayer manifesting in your life and doings.

SET YOURSELF FREE

Why must we put yoke over our life when we have choices of being free?Why do we prefer the life of bondage when the life of freedom available?

Every country of the world has its own national holiday commemorating the country's freedom and independence,but their is a kind of freedom we have neglected unattended to for so long a time as if it's not the most important freedom of them all.This freedom is called personal freedom-the kind of freedom that resides in each of us.

Everybody needs freedom but the kind of freedom we choose influences our lives positively or negatively.Hence we have to make conscious efforts to set ourself free from all bolts and nuts of life.

Set yourself free from the past.The past may either make you or mar you.The victory and achievement of yesterday is fixed in your memory and you have built a monument round about it.Yesterday's failure is not a cogent reason for you to make a mountain of pity around yourself.You still have a better day ahead of you.Live in today and move on with your life.

Set yourself free from dream killers.There are things flying all around you to make you doubt your abilities and dreams.They are there to terminate your dreams of what you can become in life and future,they are dream killers!Loose yourself from them and fan your dreams into flame.

Set yourself free from fear.The fear of unknown, the fear of future,the fear of death,the fear of failure and the fear of success.There is no future in fear and fear fly round about us everyday.Do not allow fear to rob you of your greater days ahead of you.

Set yourself free from emotional torture.Why must you allow yourself to be tortured when you have a glorious life ahead of you to nurture?Block every avenue to emotion torture and live your life to the fullest.

Set yourself free simply by turning to God.The only person that can change both the latitude and longitude of your life is God.God is the ultimate and without Him there is no freedom anywhere.He own your past,present and future.He knows the end from the beginning and He knows your where the keys to your freedom is hidden.You can set yourself free..... if you really want to.It's all about totally turning yourself to God and let Him set you on next phase of your life.
