My Thoughts On The Worthless Death-bed Repentance. Christ said,"strive to enter by the narrow gate for many,I say to you,shall seek to enter,and shall not be able"Luke 13:24.And couldn't I prove Christ a Liar saying to Myself:What is the use,going through so much trouble?I will live as I please,and indulge my senses,Then when I feel that death is at hand,I can confess my sins,and still go to heaven.Of course,these terms seems flattering and inviting to every Sinner,that no wonder,they flock to lay greedy hold of such a worthless religion; which may present an opportunity of being saved without the rigour and trouble of a Holy life. Some ignorant deluded souls vainly conceit that these five words, 'Lord! have mercy upon me,'are efficacious to send them to heaven,that no wonder an Old divine once said,"Repentance damns more than Sin.Now,oh,sinner! sinner! give me,if you can,an example of real conversion where repentance was deferred till the hour of death! There is but one well- authenticated case,and that is the thief on Calvary.“There is one,” says St.Augustine,“so do not despair.it is the only one,do not trust too presumptuously".Ask the Apostolic Fathers,those enlightened interpreters of Scripture,what they think of such a worthless repentance.Isidore calls it suspicion.Bernard calls it rash and presumptuous.Cyprian,Ambrose, Gregory,Chrysostom,Thomas aquinas all laugh at such a folly as utterly ridiculous and generally speaking,worthless.“I dare not say,” writes St. Augustine,“that one or the other individual who has repented on his death-bed is lost forever,but I cannot have any hope that he is in heaven".It remains true that the thief on the cross repented at the last gasp Luk 23:39-43.But You would do well to remember:His repentance was one of the miracles at Christ’s death, and he glorified God more at his death than you could,if you had been a penitent all your life.So,Therefore the sinner’s hope is a vain one.If it is probable that God will give you the grace of true repentance then,why has God said quite the contrary? Why has he never uttered the least syllable hinting that he is ready to give you such a grace?Why does he rather threaten in the opposite sense? “I will laugh,I will mock,I will punish,I will not hear; you shall die in your sin,” and lest we've forgotton,a thorough,and radical change of life cannot be effected instanteneously.If you love your sins yesterday,certainly,you will love them better today;If you Love Da-grin yesterday ah,certainly,you would love wizkid today and if you love rick-ross yesterday,you would love certainly love lil wayne today So My Friend,prepare to meet thy God and do not put your eternity to such a desperate chance.Spurgeon once said," The young may die;the adult must! To sleep in infancy is to sleep in a siege; to sleep in youth is to slumber during the attack.What! Will you that are so near the Maker's court still put Him off with the question "Go your way?" What! Procrastinate now, when the knife is at your throat—when the worm is at the heart of the tree and the branches have begun to wither—when the molars in your mouth are failing even now, because they are getting fewer and fewer and your eyes that look out of the windows are darkened? The dried up and yellow leaf has come on you, and you are still not ready for your doom!" and again remember those words of Augustine and Aquinas "God has promised you today for your repentance and not tommorow for your procrastination" and "God who pardons the repentant has never promised tommorow to repent in".

Another South African Pastor Rides Church Members Like Horses, Even Made Them Eat Soap (See Photos)


South Africa has recorded another strange “man of God” First it was South African Pastor Penuel of End Times Disciples Ministries who made his congregation eat all sorts of things from snakes to underwear. … and now this? And must it always be women?…Lol.

The latest discovery is Prophet Agabus Nawa of Embassy of Glory Christ Centre. He hails from Mafikeng, North West, according to the information on an old Facebook page and defunct Twitter account.

His claimed that he can command bath soap to taste like chocolate and make members of his congregation fall in deep sleep like God made Adam do. See more crazy photos...

emusmith:
Hello Friends,

With so many threads created here; some "Front Page Worthy" and others "NOT Front Page Worthy", we would love to really have a more organized and impactful section that will make Front Page more often than it has been.


For example:


TOPIC: Sex Destroyed Me; Took Away My Luck. I Need Help

LINK: https://www.nairaland.com/2248983/sex-destroyed-me-took-away



After taking this step, don't bother reminding myself and other moderators/supermods to move it to Front page because if it is Front Page Worthy, it will surely make Frontpage in the Appropriate Time.

Consider this thread a clarion call to sanitizing the Religious Section. In the bid to doing so, the following information needs to be well understood:


1. Do not discriminate any belief you know little or nothing about. If you must contribute, do that with courtesy, respect and maturity.


2. Religion lay emphasis on a Higher Being, be it Christianity, Islam, Buddhaism etc and I believe they all promote good living, kindness, love and respect. Through your help, we'll ensure(the best way we can) all these virtues are being restored to this section.


3. Before creating or quoting any thread, remember the rules of Nairaland. They will be enforced on anyone who breaks them


NB: Only Religious Threads Are Allowed Here!


Questions and Complaints will also be taken.


Thank You.

Prohibition of Arrogance and Oppression

`Iyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (sal-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) said, "Verily, Allah has revealed to me that you should adopt humility. So that no one may wrong another and no one may be disdainful and haughty towards another."[Muslim].

Commentary:
Anyone whom Allah has granted wealth or authority, beauty or splendour, should take it as Allah's Gift. He should take to adopt humility and humbleness and express his gratitude for it to Allah. He should benefit people with the gifts bestowed upon him by Allah and not make them a means of pride and oppression.

The Desirability of Fasting six Days in the Month of Shawwal

Abu Ayyub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sal-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) said, "He who observes As-Saum (the fasts) in the month of Ramadan, and also observes As-Saum for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed As-Saum for the whole year."[Muslim].
