It is very important for one to know what is to be known. For without knowing what is to be known, saying the ditch is one’s destination or end, is belittling the gravity of the grave consequence. What is to be known in this life we are living in, is the word of God. In all what is to be known, the word of God is beyond the most important. Because when you know the word, you will have the grace to love what God loves and hate what God hates. And the garment of righteousness will be your clothing and your end would be eternal life.
But if the narrative of our life is not following the instruction to be obedient to God’s word and we are refusing to hear God? We are refusing to follow Him? We are focused with moving with unfriendly friends who are taking us away from the obedience of the word of God? We are constantly thriving in a bad character that stirs up reasons for us to fight, steal, lie and commit other qualities of sin? Obviously, very obviously, the end would be eternal death.
Heaven where the throne of God is, is eternal life. Hell fire where Satan resides is eternal death. These are two homes after death, according to pastor Benson Enakhena who disclosed this in the message: Where is Your Home?
In this message you will find valid, real, cogent, evident reasons that will startle you into asking yourself the most important question in your life…where is your home? what you decide brothers and sisters, the option is yours.
Below are some excerpts from the message:
Praying alone is not enough for you to go to heaven. Worshipping is not enough for you to go to heaven.
Your Eartly home is a market place. It is not your permanent home. No matter the sales in the market, you must close and go back home.
No matter your age on earth, a time will come that if you are not tired of yourself, your grandchildren will be tired of you. It doesn’t matter how old you were before you died, what matters most is where you are going after death. Where are you going to spend your eternity?
No one goes to the market without returning home. Whether as a seller or a buyer. A market is a place of serious business. Do you know that living on earth is a serious business? …John 10:10
When you are in the centre of two powers, One wants to kill and destroy life and another one wants to save and give life, isn’t that a serious business? But in the two, something is paramount: you are the one that will take the decision to allow the one that will give you life, to give you life and the one to kill you, to kill you. The option is yours and not for the Lord to decide. You are the one. Whatever you are doing in the hidden the Lord Jesus is looking at you. Your pastor may not know, your children, wife, father, mother, may not know but the Lord Jesus is there. He is the master of all CCTV that will play the record for you on the last day.
A market is a place for serious business, where if you are not careful, you will sell at a loss. How? After worshipping and praising God, after being a pastor, a choir master or mistress, being a prayer warrior, building a church, spending all your life in the church on the last day Jesus will look at you and say go behind me, I know you not. When you invest one million naira in a business and then you close in the evening counting your gains and you can not amount up to four hundred thousand naira…can you tell someone you are a good business man?
It is better for ye that has not heard the word than for ye that has heard the word and do not abide in the word.
Look at yourself, are you in the number? If you are not careful you will buy wrong things like Judas Iscariot. If you are not careful, you will sell like Judas Iscariot. What you sell or buy on earth be very careful, let the Holy Spirit direct you.
Solomon bought and loss. God gave him wealth…if God gives you wealth what are you going to use it for?
The forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and the tree of life actually belongs to man…was there no space in heaven? Why did God not keep it in heaven? Why did He not keep the tree of life in heaven? Why in the garden if Eden? If I buy a house for David my son of 9 years and I gave him the key and the document of the house, I am very stupid. David need to grow off age where he will know the importance of a house, where he can work to build a house. Where he will say oh this roof is leaking, I have twenty thousand naira in my account let me call a carpenter. When you buy a car for your son that will call you to say Daddy the engine has knocked, you are stupid. But Adam and Eve were not patient enough, to grow enough, to receive the tithe that belongs to them. Many of us are going to the occultic shrine, evil altar today, doing 419, some have gone into robbery, why? Because we are not patient enough to wait upon the Lord. When you buy a gas cooker in the house, you will carry your seven years old child to the kitchen drawing his ears and say to him, if you touch this thing you will burn down the whole house. That is what God did to Adam and Eve. But when the child is now 14 or 15 years, you will send him to the kitchen to boil water for you. Adam and Even at that time (remember the bible said the Lord was always coming in the evening to have a fellowship with them) What was He doing? He was teaching them things they knoweth not. Faith comes by hearing. Some will say I have known it all, they will stay at home. What do you know? The bible says iron sharpeneth iron. Even as a minister, there are times you are down and need to listen to another minister for you to come back up. Some ministers will say the way God called me is not the way he called another person. Was the Holy Spirit manufactured differently for you?
There are two homes after death. You can not escape one out of the two. No matter how expert, rich, or wealthy you are, you must enter one out of the two homes. You are the one to choose now. The next minute may be too late. The next hour may be too late. You cannot be serving an idol and be expecting to enter heaven. You cannot be abusing Jesus, You cannot be disobeying God and be hoping that you will enter heaven. There are two doors. One is narrow, the other one is broad. You are the one to choose which one to enter. The option is yours. That thing you think you cannot let go, on the last day, where the eternity reigns, it is either you reign with God or you reign with Satan. The life you live today will determine where you will reign. There are two homes after death…Heaven or Hell fire. No man lived on this earth, breathing will escape one out of the two. There is no standing on the fence. There is no neutral man. Jesus Christ said no one cometh to my father except by me. What is your relationship with Jesus? Some of us refuse to follow God today because a pastor dupe you. Judas Iscariot did the same thing but the people that bought Jesus from him gave their life to Christ. Some time ago, someone said to me that he doesn’t go to church anymore because one day he went and as offering was going on, he was dancing, his phone was stolen. I asked him, what is the capacity of your congregation? He said 300. I asked again, How many disciples where following Jesus? He said 12. Multiply 12 by 300. Inside 12 there was a criminal…a hardened criminal! A die hard criminal! Inside twelve. You are talking about 300. And he was not just a criminal, he was a disciple, an apostle to be. That sold the anointing physically. He sold the Redeemer face to face and refused to go back. Then you are talking about an ordinary person, a man anointed to become a pastor or a reverend father. If you decide not to go to church again because he stole, you are on your own. Wait for God on the last day, tell God because of one man you did not follow him again. He will say okay open the last door that is where the man is, so you can both be judging yourselves in hell fire.
Joshua said I don’t know about you but as for me and my household we will serve the Lord. Do you know why he said so? He knew what happened to Moses. Where he was looking up to the people saying I must carry you all, I will not leave you, I will not let you go, we will all enter…when the people were thirsty he went angry, When God said stretch your mantle, because he was angry, he hit the rock not once but twice. Do you know what was in that rock? Jesus! He is the eternal rock of ages. He is the water of life. Moses struck Jesus twice with anger! And he looked at him, he said you will see there, you will not enter. May anger not take you to half way. May anger not deprive you from entering heaven, from being successful in the name of Jesus.
John 3:16
Am going to tell you the difference between die and perish…when you plant a seed on the ground, what will happen? It will die and germinate. Then when you plant a seed, it dies and does not germinate, what happens? It perish. A man that perish is a man that has entered into hell fire. Hell is real let no man lie to you. Do not allow your conscience to lie to you.
Matthew 6:19
How do you lay your treasure on earth? Some of us from Monday to Saturday 6:30am in the morning we are in the office, we are afraid of that our master we don’t want our job to be terminated. You don’t remember to praise God because you are looking for money. You don’t worship him. You don’t commune with your God anymore. Everything you are thinking is I must buy a land in Ogudu, I must build a house in Ogudu. If only you knew Ogudu twenty (20) to twenty five (25) years ago. Where are those that built houses in Ogudu? Where are they now? What are you fighting for?
Build your home in heaven, that is where you will spend your eternity. There is no tenant in heaven. You are the one to choose this very day, which God will you follow?
Luke 16:19-31
Working with that man does not mean that if he is richer than you here, he will be richer than you in eternity. It doesn’t matter what your condition is saying now, what matters most is, what God is saying about your tomorrow. Let us be mindful of heaven.
That man that his sore refused to heal and dust is licking his sore, would you like to shake hands with him? Will you like to sit down with him? But what if the Lord has opened your eyes to see that this man sitting at the gate is a saint?
Don’t think because that man is wealthy, has all the houses in Maitama, Victoria Garden City, is a ticket for him to go to heaven.
You must know who you are in the hands of God. If you don’t know who you are, someone will ride on your horse and you will be walking with your legs because you do not know who you are.
That poor man that was wretched, smelling, stinking and no man came close to, Angels of God came to carry him to the bossom of Abraham (the father of faith) when he died.
Whether you like it or not there is hell fire. Take it today or you leave it. But time shall tell. When the Lord will say to you, didn’t your preacher preach this to you?
On the last day we will know those that their houses will be burning and those that will dwell in the bossom of Abraham. Persevere now there is no problem. There is no mercy after death.
The day you die rapture has already taken place. You that is waiting for a general rapture, know this.
You are the one to save yourself. Pastor Benson cannot save you. Hold onto Jesus! Jesus is the master key! To set you free!
When we say your salvation is personal, we are saying that on the last day you will be on your lane alone. You and the Angel of God. No matter the AC or how righteous you are, you will be sweating because the Lord said the righteousness of a man is like a filthy rag before him.
The houses you bothered to build on earth, one uncle will be killing your children and claiming them. The company you built, the manager has taken over. The filling or gas station you built the government has use the road to pass over it. God told Solomon, he said I will bless you with the blessing have not given anyone and the blessing I will give to you no man will have the blessing. But at old age, Solomon saw the life he had lived wrongly, he looked at himself and said vanity upon vanity, is vanity. Do you know why? He was on earth seeing the gate of hell opening. He knew the law, he was aware of it and knew the consequence. The bible said my judgement shall start from where? The altar. That same rich man that the poor man could not enter his compound because he was stinking and smelling…began to beg, he said allow his finger to take water and come and give to me.
