What If It Happens Tonight? by Raylight2(m): 5:41pm On May 12, 2012
What if its happens tonight 1Theselonias 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.; 2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. and when you wake up tomorrow morning you discover that we are all gone. What will you do? what will you say? where will you run to? who will hide you from the Almighty God that sees in the dark? What excuse will you give to God? Mt 16:26 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? If you say you are prepared, how prepared are you? cry

Matthew 25:
1 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.


Jesus loves you and He gave his life for you. He does not want anyone to go to hell. He is ready to save and transform your life from your present evil state to a better one which will get you to heaven on the last day.

If you want to know him, follow this step:

1. Recognise, accept and confess that you are a sinner and hopelessly lost without God (Romans 3:12,23). That should not take long for you to accept. If you are sincere, you will realise that you have, on several occasions seen yourself in wrong moods, feelings, desires, motives, actions, etc. We have all been sinners. And between you and God you accept and confess yourself lost.

2. Accept and believe the good news that God sent Jesus Christ to take your place, die in your stead, and pay the full penalty for your own sins (Romans 5:cool. He also was buried, but He resurrected, and is alive forever to be your Advocate before God (1Corinthians 15:1-5; 1 John 2:1,2; Hebrews 7:25).

3. Now rely on God’s promises, not upon your own feelings or theories. Only sincerely confess your sins, promising God to live right and believe you are forgiven according to His Promise (John 3:16; Romans 3:25; Ephesians 2:8,9; 1 John 1:9).

4. Declare and realise that you are saved by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ and the gospel, and that you are forgiven by God and cleansed from all sins because you have met the conditions of God which are:
(a) proper faith
(b) confessions of sins
(c) repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ.

What has happened to you now is known as conversion or salvation or the New-Birth experience grin. Your life will now be new. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

How to live the Christian life.

1. Believe the gospel and the entire Word of God at all times, and WALK IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD AS YOU RECEIVE IT John 1:7.

2. Walk by faith in newness of life not by feelings or what your sight or environments suggest to you; “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Hebrews 10:38,23.

3. READ THE BIBLE DAILY. Meditate on it day and night to feed and nurture the spiritual life (Psalm 1:1-3; 119:105; 1 Peter 2:2).

4. PRAY TO GOD DAILY as your heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you (John 16:23-26; Philippians 4:5,6; 1Peter 5:7).

5. Keep your mind stayed upon God (Isaiah 26:3). GROW IN GRACE DAILY (Philippians 4:8; 2 Peter 1:4-11).

6. Recognise at all times your own weakness as well as God’s strength and keeping power. FAITH IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD (1 Corinthians 10:12,13; 1Peter 1:5; 1John 5:1-4).

7. AVOID TEMPTATIONS AND SHUN EVIL COMPANIONS. RESIST SIN AND SATAN. Make friends with God’s people who understand and also have this same experience of conversion and endeavour to be a blessing to them and all others (Psalm 1; Proverbs 1:10-16; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8,9; Romans12; 1 Corinthians 13; Colossians 3:5- 10).

8. JOIN THE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD so that you can be helped to grow in this new Spiritual life. Make sure you join a Church that can assist you to live a victorious, holy life, and make you best for God (Hebrews 10:25; Matthew 28:19,20; Hebrews 13:17,7; James 5:14).

9. CONFESS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FREQUENTLY AND DAILY AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR. Matthew 10:32.
Be busy at winning souls to Christ as you have been won to Christ. Be occupied in “turning many to righteousness” at every opportunity, wherever you are (Proverbs 11:30; Daniel 12:3; Mark 16:15).
