Evil Laws: Satan’s Strategy Against The Children Of God (must Read For Bride) by annyplenty(m): 11:23am On Oct 23, 2016
Text: DANIEL 6: 1-9
Daniel 6:1-9
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no
damage.

3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes,because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him
over the whole realm.

4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; [/u]but they could find none
occasion nor fault[/u]; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live forever.

7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to
establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O
king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be Not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which
altereth not.

9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.


[u]Introduction

Sometimes, in the year 2013, matters of evil laws were revealed to me on two different occasions.

On the first occasion, I saw some occultists and devil worshipers in their place of worship. They were praying fervently that satan should raise those that would implement evil laws.

On the second occasion, I heard a loud voice that woke me up from my sleep. And what the loud voice that woke me up said was ‘evil laws that will make holy living difficult’

You can read the full details of the visions here.

Since I received these two visions, I have always wondered how these evil laws would manifest if the visions were to be fulfilled. What particularly amazed me was not that the laws would be evil but that there target would be to hinder people (most especially Christians) from living holy. For many months, until recently that various evil laws are now coming out, I have wondered what nature such laws would take. At times, I would even ask myself ‘will they mandate people to walk unclad on the streets’?

Now, gales of laws are being introduced from country to country and are being enforced in all public places- in schools, offices, and governments. What is so strange about these laws is the non-exclusivity of their nature. By this, we mean that a Christian for instance is not allowed to distance himself from such laws where even if they will violate his holy living or violate his Christian principles. Laws are enforced to make both male and female share toilets, bathrooms, hostels and all such. In some instances, believers are restricted from praying publicly or mentioning the name of God.

With the fulfillments of these striking visions coming to past, I think it becomes mandatory to look at natures of evil laws from biblical perspective.


Characteristics of Godly Laws
Before we look at the characterictics of evil laws and what they are always meant to achieve, let us first look at the characteristics of godly laws. This will help us to quickly spot the difference since whatsoever is evil is in direct opposition to what is godly.

The followings are a few of the characterisiics of laws of God as can be seen from the scripture.

1. It is Perfect.
Psalm 19:7
19 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The laws of God are always perfect. They have no defects. The wisdom of God can be seen in His laws. His laws cannot be faulted by men. There is no error found in them. Psalm 19:12a asks rhetorically who can find any imperfection in what God does.

Psalm 19:12
12 Who can understand his errors?

Indeed, there is no imperfection or error in whatever God does – including His laws.

2. It is not burdensome.
1John 5:3
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments (laws) are not grievous.

The laws of God are not burdensome. They are not to cause confusion or burdensome to obey. In Mathew 11:30, Jesus Christ referred to His yoke as being easy. An easy yoke is neither grievous nor burdensome.

3. It converts the soul.
Psalm 19:7
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The heart of man is terribly wicked. One major purpose of the laws of God is to transform the heart of man into a godly one.

4. It turns a man away from sin.
Psalm 119:11
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee.

The laws of God serve to keep us away from sins. Any laws that promote sins are certainly not from God.

5. It leads to the fear of God.
Deuteronomy 31:12
12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

A godly law must instill fear of God in the heart of people while evil laws will directly or indirectly wash away the fear of God from man’s heart. Revelation 14:6-7 describes the eternal gospel of God as the fear of God.

Revelation 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

6. It keeps you from fornication.
Proverb 6:23-24
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

A strange woman is a woman that is not a man’s wife but whom he has sexual sins with. That is fornication. The laws of God serves to restrain a man from fornication.

7. It serves to prevent the reoccurrence of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isaiah 1:9-10
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto
Gomorrah
.

10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

The nature of laws that are been introduced these last days are gradually taking us back to the era of Sodom and Gomorrah where there was gross sexual perversion and total breakdown of law are order. The holy laws of God that should hinder such re-occurrence are being replaced with laws that will give way to sexual perversions that characterized Sodom and Gomorrah.

8. It reminds you of heaven.
Psalm 119:18-19
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.


Major Characteristics of Evil Laws
1. It attacks, opposes or relegates God’s Biblical laws.

Since what is evil is in direct opposition to what is Godly, so also are evil laws enacted purposely to attack or nullify Godly laws. satan can also raise evil presidents, kings, governors or rulers to make evil laws that will be in direct opposition to the characteristics of laws of God mentioned above. Let us consider the scripture below. Isaiah 5:20-24.

Isaiah 5:20-24
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

From the underlined part of the verse 20 of the scripture above, we can quickly spot a reversal of the natural order ordained by God. These reversal include justification of evil, replacement of light with darkness, and so on. The curse of God are upon those who do these. Lastly, in verse 24, we discovered how the evil men were able to replace evil for good- by first casting away the righteous law of God and replacing them with evil laws.

2. It induces sin.
Since evil laws are created by evil men to oppose the Godly laws, they will ultimately push a man to sin. Godly laws promote righteousness.

Consider the law that the king of Babylon made in Daniel Chapter 3 that when all musical instruments were played, everybody must bow down and worship his image. If a child of God obeys such law and bows down to the image, he has committed a sin of idolatry. That is an example of evil law. They are made to directly violate established Godly laws.

3. It changes the ordinances of God.
For us to expatiate this point, let us read Isaiah 24:1-6

Isaiah 24:1-6
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

From above, we see how God made a case for His judgment to come upon the inhabitants of the earth at the end of time. He said the inhabitants of the earth has transgressed His laws and changed His ordinance.

Transgression of the laws (violating the laws) leads to changing of His ordinance. One of the ordinances of God can be seen in Genesis 2:24. It is the ordinance of marriage between a man and a woman. Evil laws will eventually transgressed this ordinance and many other ordinances of God as can be seen from the scripture.

Genesis 2:24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Evil laws will seek to change this ordinance and set up a type of marriage which God did not ordain.


3. It is mostly targeted at Christians.
All evils laws directly or indirectly have Christians as their targets. We will expatiate this in detail in the section (strategies of satan) below. Consider the scripture below. Psalm 94:20-21

Psalm 94:20-21
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?


21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

The scripture above tells us how the throne of iniquity (rulers of darkness) plan to do mischief by using a law –evil law, and the result of such an evil law is to gather themselves against the children of God and by the reason of that evil law to condemn an innocent soul.

I read of a woman who was a marriage registrar that was imprisoned in a country for refusing to join a man and a fellow man in marriage. Though, the law of the land had permitted such a marriage, yet, the woman refused to join the two men in marriage on the claim of her religious belief as a Christian which opposes such a marriage. Can you see what we are saying? By the reason of that evil law, an innocent child of God was sent to prison.

In these last days, many more evil laws will be made and we Christians are going to be the target. We must be ready to stand firm for the Lord, Jesus Christ.


Strategies of Satan
The ultimate aim of satan is to push the children of God to sin.

Ecclesiastes 10:8
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

The Word of God is the hedge of protection round about His children. This hedge protects the children of God from being attacked by the devil. For instance, if you put some grains of corns inside a bottle and cover the bottle, the grains become untouchable by a fowl. The bottle is an hedge round about the grains that hinders the fowls from touching the grain. However, if the bottle is broken, the grains become vulnerable to attack by the fowls. In the same way, satan can never touch a child of God who has not violated the Word of God- the hedge of protection round about him.

In order for satan to gain access to attack a child of God, he has to look for a way of making the child of God violate the Word of God. Satan, himself cannot break that edge. Only the child of God can do that and when he does, he becomes exposed to attack. The only thing satan does is to make the child of God break that hedge of protection by himself and then he will have the legal right to attack the child of God. In order to achieve this sole aim of pushing a child of God to break the hedge (making him to fall to sin), He can use anyone of the following to achieve his aim.

1. Deception.
The first approach satan uses to make a child of God fall to sin is deception. By deception, he made both Adam and Eve fall to sin of disobedience. Then the hedge of protection round about them was broken. They have violated God’s Word.

2. Enticement.
Once a child of God did not fall for satan’s deception, the next approach he begins to use to make such child of God falls is enticement. He can lure that child of God with money, position, fame, wealth, pleasures and so many more.

Satan tried to entice the Lord, Jesus Christ, with material wealth in Mathew 4:8-10. First, he had tried to deceive the Lord by manipulating the Word of God but failed. Then he resulted to enticing with worldly wealth.

Mathew 4:8-10
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Today, many pastors, ministers of God and children of God who were once vibrant for God have fallen for satan’s enticement. Some fell for money. Others fell for fame, position, sexual pleasures and many more.

3. Threat and persecution.
When all else failed at making a child of God break an hedge, then satan results to threat and persecution. One major way this is achieved by evil laws. Once an evil law which always contradicts the laws of God are put in place, the children of God in that jurisdiction become the target.


An evil law can be made by a company, family, nation and so on just to target a child of God or children of God in that place. For instance a father who is an unbeliever can make a decree that all his children must go to farm on a Sunday just to prevent his son that just receive Jesus from attending a Sunday service. This is a form of persecution. A company can introduce an ungodly dress code and enforce it on all staff just because of a child of God whose godly dressing they are not pleased with. The company may say that whoever does not conform to that dress code may forfeit part of his salary. That is threat and persecution through evil law. This is exactly what Psalm 94:20-21 is saying.


Why Does Satan Employ Evil Laws Against the Children of God
From our text above, specifically Daniel 6:4-7, we see how the princes and governors tried to find fault with Daniel but they could not find. In other words, Daniel did not break any hedge. So, they concluded that the only way they could find fault with Daniel was with the Law of His God. If they made an evil law that would be against the law of Daniel’s God and imposed the evil law on the nation, Daniel would not forsake the law of His God for their evil law. Then they would have a charge against Daniel and punish him for going against the law of the land.

So they made a decree that nobody should pray to any God except the King and would violated would be thrown into lion’s den. Daniel knew that to obey that decree would be an act of idolatery and not to pray to God of heaven was not an option as well. So he went ahead and prayed to God of heaven and was thrown to lion’s den for breaking the law of the land.

This approach of evil law was also what was used against Daniel’s three friends- Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego who were commanded to bow down to image or be cast to lake of fire, Daniel Chapter 3.

Please, note the following observations.

i Both Daniel and His three friend had been tried severally but no fault was find in them.

ii As a last result, evil laws had to set up against them.

iii. The people were able to carry out these plot because they were the lawmakers and were close to the king.

iv. Daniel and his three friends stood firm for God to be delivered from the evil men’s plots.


Present Evil laws
There are many evil laws in these last days. Laws like sharing of the same toilets, hostels by people of same genders, people of same sex marrying, human being allowed to have intercourse with animals and the rest.

When you subject the laws to the character tests listed above. You will immediately noticed that they are gross opposition to Godly laws and are targeted at making the bride of Christ-the remnants, those who are still standing, watching and waiting for Christ’s return to fall before the trumpet sounds.

Final Evil Laws
The final evil law is about to be unleashed on man and the target is the remnant of the bride of Christ who have not soiled their garments. The scripture talks about two final evil laws in Revelation 13:12 and Revelation 13:16-18.

Revelation 13:12
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

From the underlined scripture above, we can see that the earth and all its inhabitants will be caused to worship a beast. Here we see that the target was all man on earth without the exception. Let us look at the second scripture.

Revelation 13:16-18
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The underlined part from the second scripture shows what the second evil law will be. All men will be caused to receive a mark before they can buy or sell.

Bride of Christ, the manifestations of these laws are being seen on daily basis, even before the arrival of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Why should this be so? It is so because the strategy of satan has not changed. Satan and his agents are looking for an occasion of fault in the remnant of the bride of Christ and this fault they cannot find unless in the law of God. This was the same thing they did to Daniel and his three friends.
Satan is a very great strategist. He might not want to wait for rapture to take place before he would enact these laws. Every other people had already fallen to satan except the bride of Christ. Satan has used deception to bring the bride of Christ down but failed. He has used enticement but failed. Now the only thing he can do is to set a trap for the bride of Christ in the law of God.

Satan never leaves anything to chance. He does not want anybody to make heaven. He does not want anybody to make rapture as well. So he will rather do something that will disqualify everybody even before the day of rapture. Because satan did not want Jesus to survive when he was born, he ordered through an evil ruler that all children of certain age be killed. Can you see? The new baby, Jesus was his target but he ordered the killing of all the children. He believed that if he could succeed in killing all the children, then he would have killed the baby, Jesus. Can you see again that satan does leave anything to chance? In the same manner, when Moses was born, satan used another evil ruler to make a decree that male babies also be killed at birth. His determination is to capture all.


Strong Decision Against Evil Laws
When evil king, Nebuchadnezzar made an evil law that all human being on earth should worship his image, the people he had in mind to capture was the three young Hebrew men, Shedrack, Meshack and Abednego. The Lord, Jesus Christ said "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick’’. Of what use was making a law for the people who were deep into idolatry to bow down and worship idol?. They were already into it. Then, the law had to be for those who were not into idolatry.

However, despite this evil law, Shedrack, Meshack and Abednego realized that they were the target of Nebuchadnezzar’s evil law and they made a strong decision never to be victims of this evil trap.

Daniel 3:16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

They were eventually saved by staying with the strong decisions they made.

When the final evil laws were made, only those who made strong decisions not to worship the image of the antichrist and not to receive the mark of the beast will be saved. Only those who did not dare the penalty of the beast will be saved like the three hebrew men. We must know that the three Hebrew men had made the decision not to worship the image of Nebuchadnezzar even before the law was passed. At this last time, we must also make strong decisions against the final evil worship and the mark of the beast that is coming. We must stand till the end even at death.


Conclusion
The era of evil laws are around when evil leaders will scheme to do evil by laws with the single aim of causing the few remaining bride of Christ to fall. Strong decisions must be made to stand by God no matter what. Only those that stand till the end shall be saved. Watch out for ecumenism and stand against it. Reject the mark of the beast. The Lord who delivered Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego from the fiery furnace and Daniel from lion will deliver you.

Summary
As he has always done from the biblical examples, satan always set up an evil ruler to proclaim an evil law upon the nation or the whole world with a view to set up the children of God against that law and then have an occasion to persecute them. This is done when deception, enticement and other ways of getting them have failed.

This approach was used by Nebuchadnezzar, the model of antichrist. The approach, will once again be used shortly when the antichrist sets up an image and commands all people to worship and also receive his mark. Believers who fail to abide by these laws will be labeled as enemies of the nation. As with Daniel and his three friends at Babylon, strong decisions not to yield must be made till the end.

PRAYERS
1. Lord Jesus Christ, give me the grace to stand till the end without denying nor betraying you.

2. Holy Spirit of God, strengthen my spirit till the end.

3. Father God, uphold by your hand. Let me love you with my whole being even in death.

4. No matter what, I will not receive the mark of the beast in Jesus name.

5. Lord, The grace and courage that Daniel and His three friends receive from you, let me receive even more in Jesus name.


ACTIONS
Are you an elect of Christ? Are you truly saved? Are you on the narrow road? Do you want to make the rapture/heaven? If your answers are yes, then,

• Make all efforts to heed the warnings of Jesus Christ.

• Be watchful. Pay attention to what is happening around the World and see whether they match what the scriptures say.

• Be filled with the Holy Spirit and be in the Spirit all the time.

• Fast, consecrate yourself, run away from sin and worldliness.


If your answers are NO, then you can repent today. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Kindly sincerely and faithfully pray the prayer of repentance below and make a determination never to commit sin again.


PRAYER OF REPENTANCE
Lord, Jesus Christ, I am sorry for all my sins. I confess them with my mouth and I ask for mercy. Please forgive me and wash me in your blood. I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Write my name in the book of life. Give me power over sins and fill me with your Spirit and Joy of Salvation. When rapture trumpet sounds, let me make it. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, I pray.

Begin to read bible. Begin with the book of John. Pray always. Fast regularly (you can begin with once in a week). Look for a bible believing church where they teach repentance, holiness, salvation and fellowship with them. Pray before you go. Always run away from SINS.

Maybe you didn't see it the last time. @annyplenty you are suffering from paranoia. You really need to take it easy. What is/has been happening to you is the reason I believe Church set up a magisterium in the first place.
Scripture: ''So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' He replied, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. (Acts 8:30-31)
A review of your post history shows that you have been having visions of doom and gloom for years. I can only imagine such a burdensome life you are having. A dedicated christian like yourself should reflect and ask: 'Has my life become better since I found Christ or am I now living in constant trepidation and being paranoid?' 'Am I loving my neighbours better or do I totally disregard people who are not believers?' 'Am I slow to anger?' and 'Do I still live in fear?' Do a thorough check. Please, take it easy

Take a breather or do you enjoy having frequent apocalyptic revelations/visions/dreams? I honestly feel for you. You need to see christianity and Jesus Christ in His light. it's been years and you carry a burden even for other christians that may not be saved but your notion of salvation is limited to your knowledge and experience. Christianity is broader, it didn't start in Nigeria nor did it from Martin Luther or the founding pentecostals. You are obviously an end-time pentecostal. But please don't live in fear of the devil and what he will do, he is not that powerful.

What if I tell you there is no rapture? that the rapture doctrine was invented in regions that had never faced persecution. Christians have been persecuted for centuries and have died most horrendously but nobody ever talked about rapture until the 19th century. Even christians in persecuted regions never hoped for rapture it was the ones in safe US and UK that invented some sort of escape from reality of persecution doctrine that got popularised by the left-behind series.

Don't get me wrong, all christians expect the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ but these visions that you usually have is troubling, more to you than anyone else.
Take it easy on yourself. I pray you don't take this wrongly. There is more to christianity, the good, the joys and peace than what you've been posting on nairaland and your blog.

Don't get me wrong, all christians expect the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ but these visions that you usually have is troubling, more to you than anyone else.
Take it easy on yourself. I pray you don't take this wrongly. There is more to christianity, the good, the joys and peace than what you've been posting on nairaland and your blog.

Thank you for a few good comments you passed on me, here. At least, they were not as harsh as the last one. God bless you for that.

If I get you right, I think the two major issues you have with me or my posts are

- 1. my belief in rapture.
- 2. the visions that I share.

I think there is no problem about sharing your opinions about these things. However, if you had asked me, I could have explained to you why I do what I am doing and that would have settled the matter. Anyway, Peter and Paul had some disagreement about some issues but that did not stop them preaching the Gospel.

Thank you and God bless you.

Yes, you're right but not really about rapture but particularly about the visions and the burden. I imagine it's a lot to frequently have apocalyptic visions especially when premised on something that is debatable -in my view false as none of the early christians believed such - and I assume it is far from an exhilarating feeling to always experience destruction in dreams and the need to warn people. But I should have asked you first.
The message here is let your love for Jesus Christ lead you to research about His church and the apostles and worship. You can thank me later.

Then the issue has been reduced to one, the visions. we can pick it up from there.

- First, let me say that you are the second person that say that the visions are two frequent. I have little to say about that because I am not the one that determines the frequency. God gives me them and I share by faith because of two reasons
1. ezekiel 33:7 and
2. God has warned me that whatever message He gave to me is not for me to keep but to share.

- What exaclty are debatable? let us discuss them.

- What do you mean the early christians do not believe?

- Lastly, you said I should preach the love of Christ.
What more can be loving than to warn people of hell so that they will not end there. what more can be loving that to see the sword coming and tells the people. See what the scripture says.

Hebrew 12:6
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

we can discuss other things as they come.

Rapture. The rapture was invented in the 19th century. ie. 1800 years after christianity started.

- Lastly, you said I should preach the love of Christ.

Salvation is of the Lord. 100%. He grants repentance to every sinner that is willing to come to repentance. You see that you see it as your responsibility -a pseudo mission- to show them you love them by warning them about hell. What kind of love is that? People are more educated with so much information available so christians especially pentecostals have to be educated or at least knowledgeable to survive because wisdom is profitable to direct. Pentecostalism, for one, thrives on ignorance and churns out 99% of ex-christian atheists.

Warning people about hell all the time may only make people hate Jesus Christ and God and usually portrays God in contradiction to Love. Jesus Christ is the righteous judge that would judge the living and the dead according to their works. However, God loves righteousness. What used to trouble me the most is how you can look at someone that has been good all their life, say a just muslim that lives tries his best to be righteous before God, and tell him that he will go to hell if he doesn't accept Jesus. While you a wretched sinner living recklessly without any good deed(not you obviously) just because you were born a christian and you believe in Jesus Christ you will go to heaven. How arrogant can that be? But there is truth in Scripture and unless you are guided to read it, you would speak as if God hates righteousness, which is the absolutely not true and loves only christians and has chosen the majority of people to perish. But God loves righteousness and the righteous. Read the story of Cornelius over and over again then imagine if an 'on-fire' pentecostal went directly to Cornelius telling him that he would burn in hell because all his works are meaningless unless he 'accepts Jesus as Lord and Saviour.' Wouldn't he get annoyed at you and your Jesus? Jesus met the woman at the well and He told her ... I could give more references. God has no desire for anyone to perish. and I believe just as He sent Peter to Cornelius, He calls the righteous to Himself.

Besides, how long can one sustain faith based on fear, except the person had a very miserable life before finding religion? Because every reasonable person would reflect if they have become a better person after they find religion or alternatively become an arrogant self-righteous dolt who thinks they are the only son of God meant for heaven. I fear turning people off about Jesus Christ than not telling them. Let no one hate Jesus Christ and perish because of me.

A famous priest was asked, '...how do you evangelise?' and he responded '...by my conduct and sometimes I use words'

Another thing, sinners do not fear death, unless in dying moments so warning people about hell might be right but how do you know that they will end up in hell in the first place? Are you saved yourself? Do you fulfil all the conditions Jesus mentioned for eternal life? Or is it by faith alone? even then St James 'a man is justified by his deeds not by faith alone...because even the demons believe and tremble' so 'faith without works is dead.' Even St Paul said 'work out your salvation with fear and trembling' here it implies salvation is continuous and not in a moment. Do you know about the mystery of the Eucharist?

I presume all what you know about christianity started with Martin Luther in the 16th century or perhaps in the 20th century with the advent of pentecostalism even at that there are now over 33000 denominations and 99.9999% of these, including JWs and Mormons etc, are mutations that can be traced back to the 16th century reformation. So how do you know your own way is the narrow way? This should lead you to the question: How did the apostles and the early christians worship God and what was their belief (doctrine) on salvation? You have the internet so start looking. There was christianity and the Church long before the Bible was compiled or the cannon completed then before the 66 books became the 'completed' cannon and the apostles were real people. One doesn't have to become stupid to believe in God (obviously, not you) and the christian faith can be based on reason.

Hebrew 12:6
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. we can discuss other things as they come.
Another thing, how Scripture is interpreted has been reduced to personal opinion thus over 33000 denominations who base their doctrine on Scripture. Eschatology is the main source of many of the christian heresies that is probably why Rev 22:19 gives a serious warning. But yes whom the Lord loves he chastises.

It is not about being happy with it. It is about being obedient to the scripture and to the instruction God has given me. At times, I am not convenient sharing them but I have to be obedient. About 4 or 5 years ago, God showed me that earthquake was coming to Nigeria. I should warn the people to repent to avert such. Again, like I said earlier, REPENTANCE is love from God. I could not say the message because I was afraid what the people will say or whether the people will believe or not. But the message is not mine, it is God's own. I have no power to make the people believe it. My own is just to say it. So, I kept mute until God showed to whether how he would hold me responsible for NOT warning the people and ezekiel 33:7 would have been fulfilled. So I said it faithfully.

After, I said, earthquake had shaken Kaduna State of Nigeria twice in 2016 on two successive days. It has shaken Saki in Oyo state and has also shaken Bayelsa state. Now the House of assembly has started to warn the Nation that a major one is coming. What will you call that warning by the government?


TheSixthSense:

Rapture. The rapture was invented in the 19th century. ie. 1800 years after christianity started.

- Absolute, salvation is of the Lord, 100% and he grants forgiveness to sinners who are willing to repent and [u]eventually repents
but it is our duty to take the message of repentance to that sinner as God's mouth piece on earth. Romans 10:13-15 clearly summarizes this

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

God called us to go and preach the Gospel. So if I warned people about the same hell that Jesus warned us about. it is not a pseudo-mission. It is actually what all believers are sent out to do. Also I am not try to show my love for anybody if I warn people, I am trying to demonstrate that God loves us by warning us and giving us a chance to repent. it is not my love but the Love of Christ. However I understand that you are trying to say that I should stop preaching 'what you consider as fear' rather than just be saying good things. Brother, there are many ways to preaching the Gospel as being led by the Holy Spirit.

Consider this. the same Lord, Jesus Christ, that preached the beautiful message of Mathew 5,6 and 7 called the Beatitude that centered on love, was the same one that preached the message of Luke 13:3 which says

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

I will make some more comments later when I have chance.

The mark of beast is symbolic, the end time laws are meant to force people to take the mark on their forehead (mind) and hand (actions) which is already happening. Satan's aim is to influence the world through his agents so he can control how people think and behave. It may however appear satan is succeeding, but God is omnipotent and sovereign, only God's purpose will accomplished
