Gospel Hour The End Of All Flesh ( 3)

- By Ejikeme Ejim

Text: Genesis 5: 1- 31

Key Verse: Genesis 5: 27, “And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.” ( KJV)

DEATH is an appointmen­t, which all of us must keep one day if Christ tarries. Methushela­h lived 969 years, the longest that any man ever lived on earth; but the longest liver died at last. My father lived for 83 years and he died; my mother lived for 79 years and she died and my younger brother after living for 61 years, he died. Death is the earthly end of all men.

One of these days, you will close your eyes in sleep and when that happens, the spirit departs but the body remains. When God takes the spirit, he leaves us with the problem of grappling with the body and we have to do it quickly or we have to be in trouble. When the spirit departs, it goes straight into eternity. There is a song by Elisha A. Hoffman, which says, “where will you spend eternity?” This question comes to you and me today! Please tell me, what shall your answer be?

In the world today, we may have kidnappers, thieves, robbers and people who belong to cults and Satanist. We may have atheist who don’t believe in the existence of God at all and they say there is no God. In Psalm Chapters 14: 1 and 53: 1, God called the atheists fools because it is only fools who say there is no God. It is only the fools that will say I am an instrument of accident or I just happened. It is only the fool who will look at all the creatures without discoverin­g to say there is somebody behind all these things.

The whole world is crying about rape today and the world has been taken over by all types of hard drugs. Some are dying under Indian hemp and these days some are dying under tramadol. Recently after the resumption of internatio­nal flight, a young man was arrested with millions of dollars worth of tramadol flying from Nigeria to Turkey. The Holy Spirit is given to us for power but some people need hard drug for their own power. God wants us to have a sound mind and self control but some people want to take drugs that will create problems for their lives and makes them agents of destructio­n. People are involved in all types of evil but God sent His Son to deliver us from all the bondages of sin.

Some of us who are saved have the ability to do all kinds of evil and abominatio­n. We have the ability to be wicked, mischievou­s and evil. We have the ability for every class of wickedness. But why are we not carrying out those abilities to do evil? It is because there is a change of master and our lives were transforme­d when we encountere­d Christ.

Don’t joke with eternity, don’t listen to people of the world, and don’t let the devil deceive you.

All those worldly things do not worth it; the only thing that is important is your soul and the only person that brings the real importance of that soul is Jesus. Do you have a living testimony that Jesus is the authority of your life? If you don’t, your life is an error and a grave mistake. Anyone who does not have Jesus in his life is lost, spirituall­y blind, dead and condemned. I beg you in the name of Jesus, please give your life to Christ so that you will escape spending your eternity in Hell Fire.
