The door will close - no deathbed repentance


Many people are hoping on a chance for a deathbed repentance. They don’t want to serve Jesus now. They first want to go and enjoy their lives and when it suits them they want to come back and serve the Lord. They don’t want to serve Jesus but they don’t want to go into hell. So they think that they can come back when it suits them but it won’t happen because God will close the Door on you.
We read in: Luke 13:23 "And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25“Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26“Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ 28“In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Once the Door is closed, you will cry out in vain. I recall the story of a man on his death bed, he was also hoping on a deathbed repentance and while he lay there, he was crying out to God and he had his hand in the air and he was groping, looking for the knob of the door and he was saying:"I cannot find the door! I cannot find the Door!" and he died, without finding the door. Are you also hoping on a deathbed repentance? Do you also want to enjoy your life now and come back to Jesus when it suites you? The door might just be closed.
Today is the day of salvation. Seek the Lord while He MIGHT BE FOUND. Tomorrow might be forever too late. Tomorrow you might cry out to Jesus but the door might be closed.
May Jesus bless you.

Be Prepared!


 Many believers are extremely foolish. They think that they can play around with sin and that they will get a second chance. There is a school of thinking that there will be a rapture and then a Great Tribulation and in the tribulation many will get a second chance to die as martyrs.
Jesus never promised us a second chance. The devil wants you to believe in a second chance because you will die before you get your second chance and then you end up in hell. Jesus clearly warned us to always be ready because we do not even know if we will live tomorrow, we only have today and we must live today to the full for Jesus because we do not know if we will have another day.
Jesus waned us in Matthew 24:36-44 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.37“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.40“Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41“Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44“For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”
You might die today, you don't know that. Will you be ready? Always be ready! Follow Jesus every day of your life and serve Him to the UTMOST of your ability. BE READY!
May Jesus bless you.
