COSTLY REJECTION

COSTLY REJECTION

We are living in the most dangerous time in the history of mankind on earth. This is a period termed "Perilous Time'" prophesied by Apostle Paul. (2 Tim. 3:1-4)
These are the days of famine and sword. The days when lies are exalted above the truth in the heart of men and all public places. An era when foolishness is in a place of dominant. This is the time when human lives have no more value.
The reason for this consternation is that men have rejected the the truth.  That's why there is so much cry for peace in every society and there can never be peace until truth is allowed to take preeminent in all areas relationship.  From Church to Mosque, all human interactions and institutions, truth should be allowed to govern.  Any where truth is down trodden there is bound to be all kinds inhuman treatment, atrocities, and destruction of human lives and properties. The only agent that has the capacity to effect peace in any environment is truth.
Where is the truth and how can we get truth.
Jesus is the Truth.  He says "I am the way, the Truth and the life, no man comes unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) How could Jesus claim to be the Truth?  The reason is Jesus new who He was as the Word of God and as the Son of God.  Even in Quran Jesus is the Word of God - Kalama Allah Sura 4:171,  Jesus is Spirit of God - Ruh Allah Sura 4:171. While in John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made" .
In as much Jesus is God's word, He cannot lie.  And He says in Matthew 21:44, "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder". The verse means "any who deliberately rejects Him shall judgment, everything shall be out of place for him, and anyone makes himself an opposition to Him shall be totally destroyed. He also said in Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me".
Anyone who does not want truth to rule over them shall be destroyed. There's judgment coming, please don't kick against the truth.
Jews rejected Jesus Christ in His first advent,  they consequently suffered for it.  In Matthew 23:37-38 37  "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate".
The prophercy came to pass in AD 70, when Roman Empire invaded Israel and killed so many Jews, many were carried away captives while many were scattered among the nation's, until 1948 before Israel became also in fulfillment of Prophet Isaiah prophecy.  Isaiah 66:7-9
 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
Their becoming a nation was the act of United Nations after disastrous and destruction experience from Germany which is called Holocaust.
The Jews hated Jesus Christ  because of their comprehension of His claim that He is the Son of God (John 5:17-18), just as Muslims hate Christians because we believe Jesus is the Son of God.
Likewise the Binis who were Christians and flourishing Kingdom later rejected Jesus and became a tiny Kingdom.
According to history told by my father Gabriel Odemwingie Obazee who was the son Obazee Ne'Ovbiudu N'e Ogbeka who is of the lineage of Obanosa who ruled Benin Kingdom in 1804 to 1816, and a book written  and published by Cambridge University in connection with Portuguese visit to Benin Kingdom that previous kings probably the Ogisos that died were not buried in Benin land but were taken to the East of the world. The journey would take 20 months and at their return they would come with a Staff,  Crown and Cross.  We all know that the Cross signifies Christianity.  Which means our forefathers were Christians.
At visit of Portuguese the Benin Kingdom was very rich and flourishing by rejection of Christ there was no peace in the land, there were communal wars and all kinds of wickedness were practiced by many leaders. As a result many broke away from the kingdom.  That is why Benin is reduced to small kingdom today. There is no way  anyone can escape if he rejects Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace and the hope of salvation.
I speak to my Muslim friends please embrace the truth and be saved, I also advise demonic and witch doctors,  to give up  evil practice and receive Jesus Christ.  You ritual killers and ritual politicians drop that wickedness and return to Jesus Christ.
The  judgment of God is now at hand. One of the signs of soon judgment is the confirmation of the prophecy of Ezekiel in Ezek 38:5-6,8, 10, 18-25
 5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: no  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee..  8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.  14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?  15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
 16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when Ishall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their email  18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.  19  For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;  20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.   21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.  22  And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.  23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
On Thursday 17th May 2018, Iran first ever attacked Israel by firing missile was made with Russia supporting them.  The Iran is Persia while Gog is Russia. When Russia and Iran with all their allies eventually surround Israel you know the earth is winding up.
My dear readers, don't play with your opportunity of salvation and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ to be guaranteed of eternal life. 
No one can reject Jesus and have a beautiful smile. The end of anyone rejecting  Jesus Christ is eternal destruction. 
God bless you as you do.
