Why Many Christians Will Miss The Rapture!!! by emmyskies(m): 2:14pm On Sep 21, 2014
WHY MANY CHRISTIANS
WILL MISS THE
RAPTURE!
“Strive to enter through the
narrow gate, for many, I say to
you, will seek to enter and will
not be able. Luke 13:24
Since Rapture will not happen
twice, but once, wise Christians
will do more to focus and strive to
be counted worthy. Why will
many miss the rapture even after
they are born again and serving
God? Here are 7 common reasons
in which any of them can hold back
a Born again Christian:
(1) UNDONE RESTITUTION
Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved,
there may be some wrongs of the
past that need to be corrected in
your present new life in Jesus.
Restitution includes restoring
things wrongly acquired,
revealing lies and deceptions and
reconciling with people we
offended, and also forgiving with
all our hearts people who offended
us, no matter how terrible.
Forgiveness from the heart is
part of restitution and many
Christians, ministers of God will
miss rapture and heaven just
because of un-forgiveness and
bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.
UNPAID & INESSENTIAL
DEBT, when you have the power
to pay but postponing or does not
want to pay, this can hinder
Christians from being raptured or
entering heaven. And a serious
minded Christian will be wary of
unnecessary debts of buying
inessential stuffs in credit.
(2) JUST A LITTLE SIN
Galatians 5:9
Many will miss rapture and
entrance to heaven not because
they are not born again and
serving God, not because they are
committing serious sins, but just
because of a little, besetting sin,
just little but too heavy to hold
people down from making rapture.
Can you imagine that wearing
tight clothes, tops that show a
woman's cleavage or transparent
clothes would hinder so many
godly sisters from making the
rapture? When the Holy Spirit
calls your attention to the little
sin, you excuse yourself that it
doesn’t matter, everybody is
doing it or it is your own
weakness since everybody has a
weakness. It may be little anger,
envy, jealousy, even in the work
of God. Little, little lies, using
people’s or your office’s
materials for your personal
purpose without taking
permission. You think it doesn’t
matter? It does. Let’s repent
NOW. Common sins will
commonly hinder common
Christians and ministers back.
(3) LITTLE WORLDLINESS 1
John 2:16
Little worldliness will hinder so
many Christians from making the
rapture. This little worldliness
does not matter to many
Christians and churches today.
The worldly music which you call
normal, worldly movies,
magazines (fashion,
entertainment or Indecency), TV
programs inspired by Satan
(American Idol, African Idols,
Big Brother Africa, MTN
Project Fame, Gulder Ultimate
Search, Dance shows, African
magic, animated cartoon, etc. )
Also worldly dress (wearing
tops, blouses that show the trace
of your bosoms as a woman or
that reveals your back, tight,
transparent or shot dress) Many
Christian women are tapped by
Satan with worldly dress
unknowingly but they will know
after the rapture. Those who have
died have gotten to know already
but too late.
(4) OVER CONFIDENCE 1
Corinthians 10:12
Over-confidence will hinder many
believers from entering heaven.
You see the shortcoming of
others without seeing yours,
without daily searching your life
with the Word of God and prayer
for forgiveness and daily
sanctification. This category of
people believe they can never make
mistake after they are saved,
they believe they are once and
entirely sanctified and no need for
daily prayer for cleansing and
sanctification, they are bound in
bountiful hypocrisy which is one
of the most terrible sins-
hypocrisy. Believing that you
can’t make mistake after you are
saved is a serious mistake.
Tenderness and watchfulness
serve better.
(5) UNCONFESSED SIN 1
Timothy 5:24
Unconfessed sin remains a secret
sin. You did something wrong and
you realize it and confessed to
God but concealed it from people,
you refuse to confess to
necessary partners or people even
after the Holy Spirit has
ministered to you to expose it,
you are listening to the wrong
preachers and your wrong motive
and defending yourself that you
have confessed to God so that
should settle it. This will block
many ears from hearing the sound
of the Trumpet of rapture. Please,
you must confess to one another,
James 5:16, as the case may be,
why will you miss rapture just
because of this little
shortcoming?
(6) LITTLE COMPROMISE 1
Corinthians 5:6
Little compromise at workplace, in
your business, to get contract,
job or promotion; little
compromise to get your
documents and papers - being
smart. Little compromise in
examination hall, in marital
relationship or in your tithes and
offerings; these little, little,
overlooked stuffs will hold and
hinder many Believers and
Ministers from making heaven. If
you are careful, the compromise of
your society, of your church and
idolized Pastors will not infect
and affect you.
(7) LACK OF LOVE 1 John 4:8
Do you think it’s possible to make
heaven without love? And does
your life shows the love of
Christ? Please read 1
Corinthians 13:1-8. Most
churches and Christians lack love.
Love is kindness and expresses
goodness to all men, especially
brethren, it helps and shares. The
syndrome of “sowing” into the
lives of big pastors, the several
church projects and personal
projects have blinded many
Christians from loving and
helping people around them.
Purity without love is hypocrisy,
love without purity is lust, but
real purity means PURE LOVE.
Christian life without love is
hypocrisy.
Please, we should all search our
lives with the light of God’s
Word, let’s repent now and
confess and correct everything as
the Holy Spirit calls our
attention. Irrespective of our
spiritual attainments and
positions, God is not a respecter
of any man. As long you still see
yourself as a little child in God’s
hand, you must be humble and
careful enough to look into your
life. Let’s ask God to sanctify us,
and let’s also be more watchful
from now, be more vigilant and
prayerful everyday as we ask for
God’s grace and mercy to be
counted worthy, we all need these,
we are all striving and no man is a
superman, until we get to heaven.
May God help us and see us
through to the end in Jesus name.
Rapture will happen once and any
time from now. If you want to
rededicate your life to Jesus or
need further counsel on any of
these points, please feel free to
contact the address below. That
we are still alive now, is a great
privilege, let’s make use of it
NOW!
1 Peter 4:7,“But the end of all
things is at hand; therefore be
serious and watchful in your
prayers.”
Where will you be after the
rapture?

ezeudo2000: Hmmmm..by His grace I will be there

Amen. You will be there. Strive to be there and seek the kingdom of GOD above every other thing in life.

Where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also. Focus on heaven alone. We will be there, we will be at the great supper of the Lamb.

Hope to see you there friend
