Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Many of us are busy worrying about things that are not really necessary while leaving those things which are more important. It is very important to prioritise your worry if you need to; and the number one thing that should concern you is to know where you stand in your relationship with God. The question should be, Is my name still in the book of life? How many souls can I get enlisted in the book of life today? This should be an everyday question for every child of God in order not to be taken by surprise on the last day. You have to be sure that you are going to heaven; you cannot assume salvation. Apostle Paul was very sure that his name was there and the name of others who worked with him (Philippians 4:3).
Matthew 6:31 (Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you).
Life is a journey and Christianity is a called to a race; when you give your life to Christ as a believer your name is written in the book of life which means you are no longer among the dead and it is only the living that can participate in this race in order to manifest his or her destiny to the fullest. Your certificate of birth is registered in the book of life as a born again child of God. The book of life is what contains the list of every child that is born in the household of God and to maintain your name in this great book requires that you take personal responsibility. The essence of this race called destiny is to be able to fulfil the purpose of God for you here on earth and then still make it to heaven. When you finish your race at the end of the day and get to the entrance, the book will be open and the Angel will check for your name; but the question still remains the same, would your name be found in the book of life? What good would it be, that at the end of the race your name will be found missing from the book of life; that agony will be for eternity, nobody will console you because in hell everyone will be busy focusing on their pain. Friends, don't be deceived, heaven is real and hell is real; I am not assuming things, I am speaking from experience; I have had a series of encounters concerning this matter of heaven and hell but let me share this particular one in this message. Three years ago I had this great encounter, where I found myself in front of a gate and I was to observe an incident. I saw a woman that I know personally standing with the Angels and she said to them that she is hot and needed water to drink but the Angel replied and said, no, that she cannot have water to drink until Jesus comes and says so. While I was still standing, Jesus Christ came and he said they should give her water to drink and at that point I woke up. When I woke up I prayed to God to have mercy and give her a second chance that she would not die because she was already at the gate of hell about to enter. That same day I got a call that she was found lying in the kitchen in a coma but that miraculously she regained her consciousness. The Lord said to me, i have given her another chance so that she can give her life to Christ. Friends, the secret of that encounter is that I have been interceding for her and others, claiming their soul for Christ and he heard me. Please don't cease to pray for the unsaved souls around you; remember it is the will of God that all men should be saved. 1 Timothy 2:3 (For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus);
John 4:10 (Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw).
Are you thirsty? Is your name in the book of life? Don´t assume salvation because it will be too risky for you; and you don't need to keep going to the well every time when you can have the living water himself living inside of you. Our God is a merciful God and Jesus Christ is the living water; you don't need to get to the gate of hell before you ask him for the water, you may not be that lucky. Now that you have the opportunity to drink this water why should you wait; be like the Samaritan woman and pray this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
