No Such Thing As Too Late: Chris Oyakhilome by Joagbaje(m): 7:04am On Sep 09, 2014

Mark 9:23
If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.


The story of Abraham and his wife Sarah is a perfect example that there’s no such thing as “too late” with God. The Bible says, against natural hope, Abraham believed in hope that he might be the father of many nations, according to the Word of God (Romans 4:18-21). He was about a hundred years old, while Sarah was ninety years (Genesis 17:17). Yet, God told Him he was going to have a child through Sarah. Abraham believed, and at the appointed time, Sarah brought forth Isaac. Some people often lose hope, wondering why they didn’t get the job, contracts, promotion or money for which they had prayed and fasted.
Some others gripe about the promises of God taking too long to be fulfilled in their lives. Well, both groups of people have one common problem: unbelief. The issue isn’t with God. He’s never late.
Consider the Lord Jesus: a message was sent to Him that His friend, Lazarus, was sick (John 11:3) and He promised to go over to see him. The Master waited four more days, until Lazarus died and was buried. It doesn’t get any more hopeless than that. Jesus had said Lazarus’ sickness wasn’t unto death (John 11:4), but he died. He had said He was coming but didn’t show up until four days later. When the Master eventually showed up, he requested to be taken to the grave of Lazarus, undaunted by the fact that he had been dead for four days. He instructed that the tombstone be rolled away and called out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” The dead man came back to life (John 11:41-44).
It makes no difference how hopeless you might think your situation is; there’s no such thing as “too late” with God. Simply trust Him, for He’s the God who gives life to the dead, and calls things that don’t exist as though they already existed. He lives in eternity where there’s no past or future. With Him, everything is in the “NOW”; and He proves Himself Master over all circumstances, no matter how late, dead, or impossible they might seem in the eyes of men.

Criticize the message, and not the messenger. Do you have anything better to say?

I see!

This is the msg you use to extort and exploit the hopeless.

Smh.

Is this what Jesus ask you to preach as a christian ? (If Jesus sent you that is).

Matt. 24:14:

And this good news of the 'kingdom' must be preach as a witness to all nations , and then the end will come.

The answer to the question is obvious. I don't see any reason for you quoting him, because he is not here to seek clarification, he wants to troll this this thread. Am not suprised though, because he opened a thread criticizing pastor Chris with his BERNIMORE handle.

I was waiting for you to come and show me that the christian msg is to go and preach that "it is never too late".

That gentiles should be told that it is never too late for anything.

That even though they die, it is never too late for them to come back to life in this current world, afteral, Jesus applied it to death as well.

Let his own not only be a promise on money and material things, after telling people that it is never too late to make money, you then ask them to pay tithe and bring money to you to actualised it.

Was such Jesus story line ?
Re: No Such Thing As Too Late: Chris Oyakhilome by loveroftruth: 1:52pm On Sep 13, 2014
Even people that dont know Jesus also know it is not over until it is all over at death,.that they can make money still as long as there is still life.

When elementary knowledge that all mankind knews from the start of time turned out to be the msg that Jesus left heaven to earth to preach to mankind, in that case, his coming was a wasted effort, since he brought nothing new.

Lool... I pity those criticizing the Man of God because we are not worthy to and we ourselves aren't saints.. This attitude shows that if we were there during the time of Jesus we would have been part of his accusers... Please I beg you all that we should learn to follow people spiritually and not just from the physical
