TOPIC: AWARENESS OF SINS

TEXT: 1 JOHN 3: 4-8

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

INTRODUCTION
In recent times, there have been arguments among some Christians whether some behaviours are sin or not. For instance, some Christians have argued that smoking cigarette is a not sin, while some have also presented some arguments to support that Christians can take strong drinks but should not just be drunk. Some others have also argued to support one behavior or the other. And yet, Our Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST, is coming to rapture believers that are free from sins and not those who still commit sins.
So, how shall we adequately prepare for HIS return if we still go about arguing whether something is a sin or not, or if we are totally ignorant of what sins are. Therefore, it is expedient to have a deep knowledge of what constitutes sin, from the perspective of God, so that we can know how to flee from it and remain holy unto the LORD, that we might be able to be among the saints HE will rapture.

WHAT IS SIN? AND WHO IS A SINNER?
For the avoidance of doubt, from our text, 1 John 3: 4-8, the bible defines ”sin” ,”sinner “, “ the origin” of sin’. Let us reiterate them.
SIN: Sin is the transgression of the laws of God. 1 John 3:4
SINNER: Sinner is a person who transgresses the law/laws of God. 1 John 3:4.
ORIGIN OF SIN: the bible says ‘for the devil sinneth from the beginnig’.
So, satan is the origin of sins. 1 John 3:8

What is left for us is to try to find out what the laws of God are, and what it means to transgress the laws. Let’s assume a driver is driving on a lane of the road and he is to maintain that lane and not cross to the other lane. If the driver stopped maintaining his lane and crossed to the other lane, then he has transgressed (crossed his boundary). In the same way, if any man stopped maintaining the laws of God and did something else, he has transgressed God’s law/laws and become a sinner. Let us thus look at the laws of God that makes a man becomes a sinner if he transgressed them.
Please, understand that it is only the bible that contains all acts that are sinful either by direct mentioning or by inference and it is only the Holy Spirit that can give anyone a full awareness/conviction of sin. What we have below is just a summary of a tiny portion of all acts that are sinful. For full knowledge and awareness of sin, read the bible regularly and seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit to guide you and correct you from falling into sins.

a.Violations of the laws of the 10 commandments : the 10 commandments are in the book of exodus 20: 3-17. We will not be able to list them but you can consult the scripture above for proper list.

b.Doing the works of the flesh : Galatians 5:19-21. the bible refers to them as works of the flesh and says whoever does them will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The sins are listed thus; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.
The bible continues to list sinners/sins that are workers/works of flesh in 1Corinthians 6: 9-10. They are unrighteous, fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate (prostitute), abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexuals), thieves, coveter, drunkards, revilers, extortioners.
Some more lists are given in Romans 1: 29-32. They are vile affections/lusts (homosexual and lesbianism), wickedness, maliciousness, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, and those who have pleasure in those that do all these things.


c. All Unrighteous behaviours: God tells us clearly in 1 John 5:17a 17: All unrighteousness is sin:
Though, not all sins are unrighteousness, but all unrighteousness are sin. By analogy, not all animals are dog but all dogs are animals. So then, what is unrighteousness? I will define unrighteousness as not being fair/just in dealing with another person, even if they are members of our family.
We cannot list all the behaviours that make unrighteousness but some of them are using unjust balances, unjust weights, unjust measuring scales for trade, exploitation/extortion, fraud, not paying of wages to labourers, not returning what you borrowed, not fulfilling pledge and so on.
Finally, Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, gives us the law of righteousness in Mathew 7: 12 as follows: 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The list of unrighteous acts is endless. If you are in doubt whether what you are about to do to somebody is a sin of unrighteousness or not, APPLY THE LAW JESUS GAVE US. Ask yourself this question: will I be happy if this man/woman did the same to me? If the answer is NO, then that act may be an unrighteousness. Desist from it. If you are still in doubt, pray that the Holy Spirit should help you to decide what to do.

d.Defiling/Corrupting your body: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 reads: 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Activities such as bleaching of the skin, drawing of tattoos, smoking of cigarettes and other hard drugs, drinking of beer and strong drinks, indecent dressing, naked/immoral dressing, masturbation, pornography and the likes, fall under defilement of the body.

e. All Abominations: Deuteronomy 18:10-12. These include but not limited to all idols, magic, sorcery (witchcraft), wizardry, soothsaying, asterology (reading of stars), necromancy (consulting with deads), occultism/cultism, incest, divination, charms, incantations, enchantments, spells, consulting with familiar spirits.



f. worldliness or friendship of the world: James 4:4: reads
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
This is one area where many Christians are not paying attention. This is one area that has also generated many controversies in Christendom. But the bible is very clear in this aspect. To be friend with the world is to do things like the unbelievers do it and that makes a person to be guilty of the sin of becoming an enemy of God. Worldliness include dressing like unbelievers, getting addicted to viewing football matches and worldly movies, using slangs of unbelievers, vain discussions, drawing of tattoos, and the likes.
If you are not sure whether what you want to do is worldy or not, ask these simple questions:
• Am I doing it because necessity demands it or because of fashion/ en-vogue? If it is outside of necessity but of fashion, then it may be wordly. Be careful about it. Most things that are en-vogue are worldly and sinful.
For instance, necessity demands that you put on trouser but necessity does not demand that you sag the trouser. Necessity demands that you put on shoes but does not demand that you put on high-heel. Necessity demands that a woman wears cloth but does not demand that the cloth must expose her breasts.
• Am I doing it to please God or to be acceptable in the eyes of the society?

g. Not relating with God properly. This include unbelief, lukewarmness, not evangelizing, not worshipping Him, not seeking to know Him more, not relying on Him, not praying, Atheism (confessing or believing that God does not exist), blasphemy and the likes.

h. All things that God hate and numerous other sins mentioned in the bible. God hates all sins and He cannot look at them because HE is so holy. All things that bible records that God hates or cannot look at, are probably sinful and we must avoid them. Some of the things God hate may be found in the following scriptures, Proverbs 6: 16-19, Not giving to the poor, Deut 15: 7-9, Wickedness of heart, Psalms 101:3-5 and so on.

Let us also endeavour to study the bible on our own and take note of all sins and so that we can flee from all such as we prepare for the return of Our Lord and Saviour.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER AN ACTION IS A SIN
At times, we are faced with situations that are so difficult to determine whether they are sin or not. Here are some suggestions on what steps to follow to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.
• If you have the time, quickly pray and tell Holy Spirit to help you, even if it is just for a minute.
• Ask this question: ”will Jesus do it”? I believe You should know the answer to this question. If your answer is ‘NO’, then avoid that act.
• Ask again: “will it glorify God”? If the answer is ‘NO’, also avoid that action.
• If you are still not sure whether the action is a sin, then, don’t do it until you are sure that it is not a sin. Seek God in prayer for confirmation. Don’t just assume you are right. Don’t just do it and argue it away. The book of Leviticus talks about ‘SIN of ignorance’ which God says they must still repent of, if they become aware that what they did in ignorance was a sin. Don’t commit sin by ignorance.

CONCLUSION
SIN, though, just a three lettered word, is the only effective weapon Satan has been using to conquer and to destroy children of God and by extension mankind. It is a weapon of both self-destruction and mass destruction. Every other weapons of Satan like deception, enticement, threat, poverty, riches, disease, fame and so on are not on their own effective in destroying children of God. Satan only uses his other weapons to eventually push a child of God to commit SIN and make that child to become vulnerable so that He (Satan) can then destroy that child because the child had become defenseless. So, armed with SIN, Satan is confident of destroying anybody, I repeat, anybody, or any group of people (even a nation), if such person or group of persons allow him. Now that you have know what sins are, make a determination that satan will not use his weapon of sin to pull you down, no matter what appearance the sin has.

ACTIONS
• begin to be more sensitive to SIN. Read bible frequently and pay attentions to what could be sinful. Try to avoid them. Ask Holy Spirit to help you overcome them. Repent at all times on daily basis from all sins you might have committed in ignorance. Plead the blood of Jesus to cleanse you always.
• Repent of all sins, forgive people, fast, pray, watch, drop all worldliness.
PRAYERS
• Repent of all SINs and pray that Jesus Christ cleanse and sanctify you with His blood. Please do this as many times as possible daily.
• O Lord, Please forgive me all sins that I have ever committed.
• Lord Jesus, forgive me all sins that can take me to hell.
• Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me all sins that can make me to miss rapture.
• Lord Jesus, do not allow needle of sin to pinch my garment of righteousness.

annyplenty: Concerning the bolded, the correct text is: Is Israeli government planning to build their 3rd temple on THE TEMPLE MOUNT?

This temple mount is the location of the 1st Israeli temple destroyed under the reign of Nebuchadnezzar of babylon when they besieged and carried Israel/Judah on captive. The temple mount was also the location of the temple when it was rebuilt and was LATER destroyed around 70 A.D by the roman empire. JESUS GAVE THE PROPHECY THAT THE REBUILT TEMPLE (the 2nd temple) WOULD BE destroyed (mathew 24:1-2) when giving the Mount of Olives Prophecy.

And now, Prophet ezekiel prophesied that the temple would be built finally and Israeli govt under nethanyahu has concluded all plans to build the 3rd temple to fulfil that prophecy.

annyplenty: • Watch what is happening in Israel: Is there any effort to divide Jerusalem as prophesied in the bible?, are some arab nations conspiring to exterminate (wipe out) Israel? Is Israeli government planning to build the 3rd temple on the temple? Is there any attempt to negotiate peace with Israel? and so on as prophesied in the bible.

TOPIC: WHY WE MUST WATCH

TEXT: MARK 13: 31-37

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

INTRODUCTION
The slogan ‘watch and pray’ has become so popular that it has cut across all walks of life and all religious beliefs and as such has become a household slogan just like Coca-Cola has become a household product. I knew the slogan long ago before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, not knowing what it meant, as many people still don’t know till today.
But as popuplar as this slogan is, it is perhaps one of the most disobeyed and wrongly understood quotations of the bible. To make matters worse, many Christians don’t know where to find these quotation in the bible not to talk of understanding what to watch and yet the fact that a Christian may be raptured when the trumpet sounds may be tied to his level of watchfulness (alert).
We are not trying to say that a Christian may not be raptured if he is not watching but that majority of those Christian who may miss rapture may miss it because they are not watching.
If we don’t want to fall into the category of those that will wrongly understand this command or disobey it by failing to watch or worst still miss the glorious rapture because we are not watching, then, we must seek to understand this all-important command.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WATCH?
Prior to the arrest, the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ, He gave prophecies of how He would come back to take the saint (rapture), the great tribulation that will follow, and the eventual end of the world. He prophesied a lot of events that would begin to happen when the time had come. He gave these prophecies on the Mount of Olives and as such the Prophecies are known as Olivetti sermon or Olivetti Prophecies. (Please read Mathew 24, mark 13 and Luke 21 for the Olivetti sermons).

For summary of the Olivetti sermon, Jesus said the following:
1 No man, no angel, not even himself, knows the day He will come to rapture the true believers except His Father alone.
2 Prior to His coming (rapture), a lot of events will begin to happen across the world.
3 Of all the events that Jesus said will begin to happen, the only event He kept repeating is ‘deception’ (see Mathew 24:5, 11, 23-26). He did not repeat wars, earthquakes, diseases and others.
4 Of all the warnings Jesus gave us, the only one He kept repeating for us is to watch. (see mark 13: 33, 35, 36, 37).
5 Lastly, all the events He prophesied must all begin to happen at the same time. (Mathew 24:33)
Even though, we don’t know the day of rapture, we can know that the time of rapture has come if we see all the events Jesus prophesied happening simultaneously. I think He has tried enough for us with these prophecies. But how shall we know the events are happening if we don’t watch.
So to watch means to pay serious attention to what are happening around the world by listening to news, observing what are happening in churches, observing what are happening in the societies, observing what is happening to Israel, observing what is happening in the whole world, reading the bible, being spiritually alert, with a view to ascertaining or discerning that what Jesus said, as well as what God said through His prophets concerning end-times are happening.

Most of the end-time prophecies given in the bible that we are to watch concern three main entities. These are the church, Israel (particularly Jerusalem), and the world at large.

• Watch what is happening in the Church: are believers falling away? are pastors teaching heresies?, are false prophets/miracles on the rise?, are pastors commercializing gospels?, is church becoming worldly and so on, all as prophesied in the bible.

• Watch what is happening in Israel: Is there any effort to divide Jerusalem as prophesied in the bible?, are some arab nations conspiring to exterminate (wipe out) Israel? Is Israeli government planning to build the 3rd temple on the temple? Is there any attempt to negotiate peace with Israel? and so on as prophesied in the bible.

• Watch what is happening in the world: are disasters happening? Are the people becoming rebellious to God? Are governments looting funds? Is homosexuality on the rise? Are there persecutions and attacks on Christians (especially Christians being attacked right inside the church) and so on, all as prophesied in the bible?

For bible verses where all these things are prophesied, see our teaching on 50 SIGNS OF RAPTURE/END-TIME on https://www.nairaland.com/1230707/end-time-bible-teaching-50-signs posted on religion section of www.nairaland.com or send an email to us at raptureglorious@gmail.com to request it.
Those who are not watching are sleeping (mark 13: 16). These Christians belong to the lukewarm church or the foolish virgins and JESUS will come to them as a thief because they are not watching.

WHY MUST WE WATCH?
1 OBEDIENCE. Since our Lord, Jesus Christ, commanded us to watch, then we must watch, even if for only obedience.

2 PREPARATION. Rapture is a very serious event that must be prepared for, by constant repentance, prayer, fasting, watching, holy and righteous living. Remember, He is coming for a bride without spot, blemish and wrinkles. Even a single stain will disqualify a person (Ephesians 5:27). If we don’t watch, how can we know that time is up. Instead of praying and fasting to be accounted worthy to make rapture when the trumpet sounds, we may be praying for prosperity.

3 SPECIAL REWARD. There is a special reward for those who watch and long for His appearing (2 Timothy 4: cool. Those who did not watch but make the rapture may not get this reward.

4 MAKING RAPTURE. Let’s assume that consistently, the weather is cloudy, lightnings are striking, sun hardly shines, temperature is dropping and it is windy. We can conveniently say that rainy season has arrived because of those signs. So, we can begin to get an umbrella, mend the roof of our house, clear drainages and prepare for rain, though, we don’t know the exact day/time that the rain will fall. The rain will not meet us unprepared because we paid attention to the signs that rain was coming and we prepared. If the rain did not fall eventually, we will still not have anything to lose. Making Rapture can be compared to this phenomenon. Watching is a key to making rapture. Even, if we don’t know the day, we will know how close it is and begin to prepare and rapture will not happen suddenly to us because we are watching, preparing and ready. (revelation 3:3)

DON’T WATCH; JUST BE READY AT ALL TIMES. HOW TRUE?
Some Christians believe that it is not necessary to watch. They often say that they just have to be ready at all times, without watching. How true is this? In my opinion, they are right to the extent that we have to be ready at all times. But they are wrong in that they overlook the issue of watching.
Before the rapture happens, it is going to be a time of thick spiritual darkness and deception to such extent that those who are watching and are firm in the Lord might be deceived, if care is not taken (Mathew 24:24). How much less those that are not watching. Brethren, satan is more deceptive than we think. Before they know, deception may enter unto them right inside the church.
This is why the Lord Jesus Christ emphasized the issue of deception and watching even more than earthquakes and other disasters. So, if it is not necessary to watch, the Lord Jesus would not emphasize it.
Lastly compare, the issue of watching to what Apostle Peter wrote in 1 Peter: 5: 8 and 1 Peter: 4:18
1 Peter: 5 :8
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
We can paraphrase the words of Apostle Peter above as ‘whoever is not vigilant (watchful), the devil might devour him’.
And Lastly 1 Peter 4:18
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
If those who are watching and are ready at all times scarcely make it, how much less those who are not watching?
We must watch.

ACTIONS
• begin to watch and pray as He said in Luke 21:36 to be able to escape all the things that will soon happen to earth (great tribulation). What is happening now is child’s play. What will happen to those that miss the rapture will be terrible. We shall look into those things later. Repent of all sins, forgive people, fast, pray, watch, drop all worldliness.

PRAYERS
• Repent of all SINs and pray that He cleanse and sanctify you with His blood. Please do this as many times as possible daily.
• O Lord, open my spiritual eyes to see the signs of your coming as mentioned in your word.
• Lord Jesus, give me the grace of watchfulness and readiness for your coming.
• Lord Jesus, give me the grace of the 5 wise virgins.

For more information, question or contribution, please send email to us at raptureglorious@gmail.com and please tell others to join us. We will like to get as many people as possible ready for rapture. We wish nobody goes through the great tribulation. What are happening now are child’s play. Shalom

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Even the apostles thought it was eminent in their time. I say watch and pray for your salvation not for the end of the world. Jesus already said of the day and time no man knows. Who ever will not genuinely repent will not genuinely repent for fear of the end of the world.[/quote]You are absolutely right that who will not repent will not repent even if God sent somebody from hell to come and warn them to fulfill the request of the rich man. Besides, I am not trying to coerce or use end-time to frighten people to repent. My point still remains that Jesus asked us to watch for some things and those things are happening. If we take heed and amend our ways because we see those things happened and rapture did not happen eventually, we would not have lost anything but rather we would have become more heaven conscious. But if JESUS asked us to watch so that we, believers, might not be deceived and that we might not be caught unawares, BUT we fail to watch and we are deceived through our ignorance even though we are living holy. It may just be a fatal error. JESUS knew we need to watch and prepare, and HE didnt make mistakes for saying so just as He didnt make mistakes for saying we must be born-again.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]All these conditions have existed in various degrees both high and low since the death and resurrection of Christ.

Do not get into the error of date setting like the 2012-ists.[/quote]I never set any date. if you read the introduction very well, you notice. Some of the conditions might have been existing
long ago like you said, though, at a minimal level, but not all the conditions. JESUS CHRIST called us to watch out when we
see all of the conditions happened at the same time. that is the point I am making and to sensitise us to watch as He told us.
If there was no need to watch, Jesus would not have told us to watch. Shalom.

Pastor Olu T: Yes agreed all that you wrote so far is according to the scriptures, but i have a little reservation about repenting and asking Jesus to cleanse you and sanctify you daily. Once you accept Jesus as your Lord as personal savior, you are complete in Him and all you have to do is to live consciously in Him daily, the bible says He says entered the hollies of hollies once and for all and that the sacrifice is for all time, Jesus need not die over and over for our sins.
Truly we are to prepare but our preparation should not always be with sin consciousness but holiness consciousness, this i believe many of us still find difficult to understand in the Christendom.
Bro, i quite agree with you, you are on point

Thank you, Pastor, we are not encouraging believers to sin consciously (hebrew 10:26) rather we are trying to call our attentions to the fact that JESUS CHRIST is coming for an holy bride, without spot, blemish, wrinkle or all sorts (ephesian 5:27) but the fact remains that we may still unconsciously run into some things that defile us and we have to deal with those things by repentance. Shalom.

TOPIC: 50 SIGNS OF RAPTURE/END-TIME

TEXT: MATHEW 24: 33-36

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

INTRODUCTION
When is the day of return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to rapture His saints? Before you say the answer, let me quickly say it because I know that you know the answer. Nobody knows the day. Even, unbelievers know the same. Mathew 24:36 clearly says that nobody knows.
And so, because nobody knows the day, when you try to sensitize some Christians that the day is near so that they can begin to prepare, they quickly retort: nobody knows the day. And they begin to live a lukewarm/lackadaisical life again. How can you sensitize them to prepare for a day nobody knows? They begin to pray for prosperity and concentrate on worldly things as if though, ‘nobody knows the day’ means ‘the day will never come’.
Even though we don’t know the day, the day will still come. That is the absolute truth. But are we totally ignorant of this all-important day? NO! Our God will not keep us in darkness. Look at Mathew 24:33. It says when we shall see ALL of certain things, then the day which we don’t know is at the door.
Supposing you are coming back home from your office and you have reached the door of your home, how close to or how far from your home are you? You as close or as far as being in your home. That is the reality. And this is what our Lord, Jesus, was telling us. He went further to even say that the generation that witnessed ALL these events happen together will not pass away before the day comes. Our Lord has already given us enough clues: watch to see that ALL THE THINGS HE SAID ARE HAPPENING ALL AT THE SAME TIME, then know that THE DAY IS AS CLOSE AS BEING AT THE DOOR OF YOUR ROOM if you see ALL the things happen.
What more can we do? All we have to do is to examine clearly to see that all the things HE said are happening. Then we should begin to pray and prepare (Luke 21: 36) to be worthy instead of praying for money. One stunning fact is that not at any time in all history of creation had ALL these things happened at the same, nor will there be any other time they will happen altogether, except the time He is to return. So any Christian that is not ready to examine and watch but just goes about and says we don’t know the day is lazy and lukewarm and does that at his peril.
So lets examine together, the signs HE and other prophets/apostles gave us and I live you to judge whether ALL these thing are happening or not. Welcome to 50 signs of rapture/end-time.

ooman: Xtians are the dumbest people on earth. The bible is full of lucky guesses, so is tb joshua.

Please, don't derail this thread. there are many other threads, especially for people who share the same believe as you share. You can go there and make your contributions there. Please, once again, leave this one for those who are heaven conscious and who are called to prepare for rapture. thank you.

I rejoice with the People of Kenya on their 2/3-day national repentance revival which ends today. God called them to repent or face judgement and they heeded.

The current prime minister, all 8 presidential candidates, thousands of pastors, prophet Owuor and about 6 millions of people are gathered together at Uhuru park, Nairobi, Kenya, as I post, repenting all their sins in humility before Jehovah. The whole nation had embarked on 3-day dry fasting since friday and the fasting will end this evening.
2 Chro 7:14.

Nigeria, God is calling us to repent before He brings His judgement. Repent. Jesus is coming. Shalom.

ooman: i cant believe u believe the sh.it you are spitting out.

Dont worry about Noah's people, hell is the perfect place to spend eternity

Then, kindly dont derail the thread. it is meant to call people to seek HEAVEN, and not hell, before it is too late.

ooman: dont be so dumb, meteor shower is not a new thing

I hope your comment will change when you see the sun turned to darkness and the moon turned to blood.

Nobody can pretend not to see that events are happening so fast and so strangely these days and men are afraid because of what are happening
and they dont know what might happen next.

This was the same way Noah warned people and they gave glossed away the message God was passing.

Messiah is coming. Repent and be saved. Shalom.

Meteor exploded into Russia and the people were afraid for the sight of the coming meteor.

Luke 21:26
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Repent and prepare for the return of Jesus Christ. The words of God as given in the bible are fast fulfilling before our eyes. Shalom.

God bless you. Holy Spirit has also sensitized me in this direction also. I prayed that the people heed the warnings.

The Bible calls it 'ánother gospel' galatian 1:6-9. This generation calls it 'gospel of prosperity', 'gospel of once saved, always saved', 'gospel of liberty to do what we want', ' gospel of God is not concerned with what you do with your body but your heart', 'gospel of there are many saviours' e.t.c.. However, The Bible says whoever preaches it is accursed.

This is one of the causes of problems for many 'so-called-believers' in Nigeria. They have abandoned the true gospel both pastors and congregations but instead of receiving blessings of God they are heaping curses on their heads.

Repent, and turn to the true and only gospel, gospel of repentance, salvation and holiness in Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming very soon, turn to Him with a humble heart to be saved. Shalom.

Dear Friends,
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR.
GOD has been showing to me consistently by numerous visions and has asked me to go and warn people that

1.The SUN will soon turn to darkness.
2. and the MOON will soon turn to red like blood.
3. strange occurencies/appearances will be in the skies.

This events will soon happen and all eyes will see them. When you see it, you shall know that truly the messiah (JESUS CHRIST) is coming to rapture the glorious church.

REPENT in CHRIST JESUS and prepare in absolute holiness, righteousness and repentance. shalom. Joel 2:31, Mathew 24:29-31, Rev 6:12-17

God is still to be thanked for our situations, no matter what!

If you have tattoo on your body, kindly repent genuinely and turn away from further wickedness.
God will forgive and redeem you in Christ Jesus. This is not time for argument. It is time for repentance and holiness.
God bless you. Shalom.

Repent, run away from all SINs, fast and pray, consecrate yourself to God, and watch to be able to escape the things (great tribulations) that
shall come upon the whole earth. luke 21:34-36.

Dear Friends,

I have been seeing a vision for many times. But now has come the time for its fulfilment.

I see a vision of multiple strange lunar/solar round objects appearing in the sky at the same time.
The objects are round and will appear visible in the sky. its difficult to say whether they are sun or full moon.
Many will be shocked when they see them. many will be afraid. while many will be amazed.

These are some of the signs of HIS coming the bible mentions in luke 21:11

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

and also in luke 21:25

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

When you see it happen, you will know that truly our Lord and Saviour of mankind, JESUS CHRIST,
is coming to rapture the true believers.

REPENT and submit your life to Jesus to save you. If you are already in Christ, dont lose your focus
on HIM. If you have backslided, quickly retrace your steps back to HIM. Time is quickly running out. Shalom.

Oldpath: Jeremiah was nobody, but he was sent of God. This message is from the mouth of the Lord of hosts and for those that still have ears.

Anny you dont need to reply anyone except you are led. The most important thing is that you have delivered the message.
The Lord says He will reveal more to you with dates and locations and that you can do it. Dont allow any one to shut you up, they will always talk, pray for them and dont get annoy with anyone because you are just a mouth for Him. For this purpose you were born, a prophet to nations.
Jer. 1:10; eze 33:30-33.
Lets all repent to prevent this.

thank you. God bless you.

Zenanted: wat do we do 2 avert it then?

repentace from all SINs. We can repent on behalf of those that dont believe.
Kneel down in your house and pray for forgivenness of yourself, of our rulers,
of the followers, of even pastors that have forsaken gospel of holiness for prosperity.

Remember, Prophet Daniel confessed and repented on behalf of the whole Israel and God answered
Him (Daniel 9:1-20) Let churches organise repentance and let individuals repent as well.

Flooding and hurricanes happen every year in lagos- was the one you're referring to, different?[/quote]the flooding and hurricane visions I saw were not particular to Lagos.

Concerning the issue of the earthquake, it was not specified what part of Nigeria. I remember in one of the
visions, I was shouting 'earthquake in nigeria' as buildings were collapsing as I lay on the ground during
the aftershocks. I used to narrate everything to my pastor and they have even prayed about the quake
at a district level of CAN about it. But this last one, after the earthquake occurred, a voice said to me that
He gave me the visions so as to go and warn all nigerians about it and to repent, but i didnt go. Then I felt a guilt in my heart.
Then, i went to tell my pastor about it.

For my facebook page, I will not like to make it public but if you send mail to raptureglorious@gmail.com
I will send it to you. Just check my post of january 26th, feb 2nd and feb 13th.

Highbros: Guy, when last did you eat? It might be a sign of hunger

It will do you good not to insult. Believe or just ignore. thank you.

Dear Friends,
EARTHQUAKE is coming to Nigeria.

GOD has shown me the vision of EARTHQUAKE coming to Nigeria for several times. Each time I see this vision, after I would pray a lot concerning it, but it would come with an increasing severity and urgency. The last time I saw this vision. I was told that the vision is not for me to keep but to go and warn Nigeria/Nigerians to repent before God would make the judgment come to reality and I saw myself calling Nigerians to repentance even where they stood speechless after the quake.

In January 2012, God showed me massive flood coming to Nigeria several times. He showed me an hurricane and even overflowing river. The vision was so disturbing that I would begin to cry from the vision to reality. In one instance, an hurricane was pursuing me and I was shouting God is angry with Nigeria as I ran. I was only able to post it on my facebook that people should pray about flood, hurricane and overflowing rivers. Shortly after that an hurricane happened in Lagos on February 13. I was shocked when the major newspapers in Nigeria reported it on their front-pages as HURRICANE Lagos. Now that I have seen the ravaging flood in Nigeria. I know God means more than what I think.

Now God has been passing this warning of earthquake and has instructed me to pass it across that we should repent. If we repent quickly, both individually and as a nation and turn away from sins, then GOD will avert it. We must repent of shedding bloods of innocents, sexual immoralities, idolatery, and all SINs at large.

These are the signs that MESSIAH (JESUS) is coming very soon. Repent and be saved. Shalom.
EZEKIEL 33:1-9

Behold, He cometh quickly riding on the clouds!
HE is indeed coming.

A person can be found unworthy before GOD due to his thoughts.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer (Ps 19:14)

If you discover your heart is thinking evil, quickly repent and pray that God should help you guide and purge your heart from evil.
