If that is the case then nobody will make heaven. In fact heaven is full already.

DonXavi: WHY MANY CHRISTIANS WILL MISS THE RAPTURE!
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24

Since Rapture will not happen twice, but once, wise Christians will do more to focus and strive to be counted worthy. Why will many miss the rapture even after they are born again and serving God? Here are 7 common reasons in which any of them can hold back a Born again Christian:

(1) UNDONE RESTITUTION Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved, there may be some wrongs of the past that need to be corrected in your present new life in Jesus. Restitution includes restoring things wrongly acquired, revealing lies and deceptions and reconciling with people we offended, and also forgiving with all our hearts people who offended us, no matter how terrible. Forgiveness from the heart is part of restitution and many Christians, ministers of God will miss rapture and heaven just because of un-forgiveness and bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.

UNPAID & INESSENTIAL DEBT, when you have the power to pay but postponing or does not want to pay, this can hinder Christians from being raptured or entering heaven. And a serious minded Christian will be wary of unnecessary debts of buying inessential stuffs in credit.

(2) JUST A LITTLE SIN Galatians 5:9
Many will miss rapture and entrance to heaven not because they are not born again and serving God, not because they are committing serious sins, but just because of a little, besetting sin, just little but too heavy to hold people down from making rapture. Can you imagine that wearing tight clothes, tops that show a woman's cleavage or transparent clothes would hinder so many godly sisters from making the rapture? When the Holy Spirit calls your attention to the little sin, you excuse yourself that it doesn’t matter, everybody is doing it or it is your own weakness since everybody has a weakness. It may be little anger, envy, jealousy, even in the work of God. Little, little lies, using people’s or your office’s materials for your personal purpose without taking permission. You think it doesn’t matter? It does. Let’s repent NOW. Common sins will commonly hinder common Christians and ministers back.

(3) LITTLE WORLDLINESS 1 John 2:16
Little worldliness will hinder so many Christians from making the rapture. This little worldliness does not matter to many Christians and churches today. The worldly music which you call normal, worldly movies, magazines (fashion, entertainment or pornography), TV programs inspired by Satan (American Idol, African Idols, Big Brother Africa, MTN Project Fame, Gulder Ultimate Search, Dance shows, African magic, animated cartoon, etc. ) Also worldly dress (wearing tops, blouses that show the trace of your breasts as a woman or that reveals your back, tight, transparent or shot dress) Many Christian women are tapped by Satan with worldly dress unknowingly but they will know after the rapture. Those who have died have gotten to know already but too late.

(4) OVER CONFIDENCE 1 Corinthians 10:12
Over-confidence will hinder many believers from entering heaven. You see the shortcoming of others without seeing yours, without daily searching your life with the Word of God and prayer for forgiveness and daily sanctification. This category of people believe they can never make mistake after they are saved, they believe they are once and entirely sanctified and no need for daily prayer for cleansing and sanctification, they are bound in bountiful hypocrisy which is one of the most terrible sins- hypocrisy. Believing that you can’t make mistake after you are saved is a serious mistake. Tenderness and watchfulness serve better.

(5) UNCONFESSED SIN 1 Timothy 5:24
Unconfessed sin remains a secret sin. You did something wrong and you realize it and confessed to God but concealed it from people, you refuse to confess to necessary partners or people even after the Holy Spirit has ministered to you to expose it, you are listening to the wrong preachers and your wrong motive and defending yourself that you have confessed to God so that should settle it. This will block many ears from hearing the sound of the Trumpet of rapture. Please, you must confess to one another, James 5:16, as the case may be, why will you miss rapture just because of this little shortcoming?

(6) LITTLE COMPROMISE 1 Corinthians 5:6
Little compromise at workplace, in your business, to get contract, job or promotion; little compromise to get your documents and papers - being smart. Little compromise in examination hall, in marital relationship or in your tithes and offerings; these little, little, overlooked stuffs will hold and hinder many Believers and Ministers from making heaven. If you are careful, the compromise of your society, of your church and idolized Pastors will not infect and affect you.

(7) LACK OF LOVE 1 John 4:8
Do you think it’s possible to make heaven without love? And does your life shows the love of Christ? Please read 1 Corinthians 13:1-8. Most churches and Christians lack love. Love is kindness and expresses goodness to all men, especially brethren, it helps and shares. The syndrome of “sowing” into the lives of big pastors, the several church projects and personal projects have blinded many Christians from loving and helping people around them.

Purity without love is hypocrisy, love without purity is lust, but real purity means PURE LOVE. Christian life without love is hypocrisy.

Please, we should all search our lives with the light of God’s Word, let’s repent now and confess and correct everything as the Holy Spirit calls our attention. Irrespective of our spiritual attainments and positions, God is not a respecter of any man. As long you still see yourself as a little child in God’s hand, you must be humble and careful enough to look into your life. Let’s ask God to sanctify us, and let’s also be more watchful from now, be more vigilant and prayerful everyday as we ask for God’s grace and mercy to be counted worthy, we all need these, we are all striving and no man is a superman, until we get to heaven. May God help us and see us through to the end in Jesus name.

Rapture will happen once and any time from now. If you want to rededicate your life to Jesus or need further counsel on any of these points, please feel free to contact the address below. That we are still alive now, is a great privilege, let’s make use of it NOW!

1 Peter 4:7,“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”

Where will you be after the rapture?

DonXavi, please let us take a closer look at number one i.e. restitution.

What should happen if, for example, someone when in university copied other people and also allowed people to copy him during tests and examinations now graduates and gets a fairly good job with his degree?

Is he supposed to resign from the job, or return his certification or both? Please i really need to know.

Our God is a merciful father even on the cross of death when totally accepted JEsus christ as your lord and personal saviour he will safe you from moulth of death(etenal death),just pray and watch heaven shall be your portion.Amen

Tessy10: Those saying there's nothing like HELL FIRE pls read the book of matthew 5:22- u'll find a place that says "whoever calls his neighbour a fool shall be in the dangers of HELL FIRE....
HELL FIRE IS REAL!!!

Where will you be after the rapture?

My brother it is good you are very sincere but you are sincerely wrong.
There is no rapture but God has promised protection for all that obey him they won't see death. But those who claim to be Christians but live as they like are at the outer court , they will suffer matyrdom .Read your bible with unbiased mind and throw away any doctrines of men and ideology of your or men.
Just let the bible interpret itself and the Holy Spirit guide you. It's a wishful thinking to be whisked away just like that.
I don't know how long you have been called by God though not how but how knowledgeable and inspirational coupled with revelations from God. But from what you have said you need more insight from God.
Read your bible again with open mind and you will understand there is never an iaota of truth in rapture gospel found in the bible. It is 18 th century fable or so .
My personal contribution .. This is my 22 years in The Lord. It is by his grace and mercy .

Until I see where "rapture" is written in the Bible.

OnyeEgo1:

hello ma, we are not saying dat dia is, we are saying it's not for the believer

Nne m/nna m. Watching of TV (for our moral/general knowledge( doesn't mean u gonna miss d rapture. Haba......u right with others though.

Where will you be after the rapture?

Umh, christian and criteria to heaven. If I may ask you where on earth did you get this from?

Come! Getting to the kingdom of God is not by criteria for all I care. It is only the grace of God that can see one through, have you forgotten what the bible even said to folks like you, "he who thinks he stand, let him watch lest he fall" I pray you recover from this think are talking about. Mind you, as for me as a person, I'm an indigene of the heavenlies.


It is simply God's grace bro.

After the rapture we shall know who is deceiving who. If na pastor Chris, Ayo Oritsejafor or T.B Joshua deceive us abi na we deceive them.
For those who don't know the rapture is a trip to planet mars! and tickets are on sale...I am not interested in leaving Africa for an unknown location when una go come, una go come tell me wetin una see!....
No be this same rapture wen una dey fight for na him pastor take dey bribe journalist?
No be this same rapture pastor use him jet carry $9.3million go South Africa? which rapture pass make person enter jet with $9.3 million?
*Foolish people e don tail. White man introduce Christianity, Nigerian man further am go where white man no think say e fit reach.
*Same bible wen say ' touch not my anointed' forget to add 'deceive not my people'.

No be only rapture na capture!...SMH.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST, IF NOT THE HUGEST REASON THE BLACK RACE WILL BE BEHIND FOREVER! FACT. AM ASHAMED OF BEING BORN A BLACK. THE REAL WORLD IS ADVANCING AND BLACK MON.KEYS ARE HERE SCREAMING FICTITIOUS RAPTURE AT THE TOP OF THEIR PHARYNX. SMH!

.

Op, I agree 200% with all you said. The list is not even exhaustive.
Its just Gods help we need. Which Christian will claim he or she is entirely free of all these things listed here?
The person is just being hypocritical.
That's why VERY few will make that solo flight.
Lord, Lord, Lord! Please don't allow me go through the Great Tribulation! Help me, please!!!

Maximus85: Until I see where "rapture" is written in the Bible.

Are you serious? 1 thessalonians chapter four nko?

.

Sir, as far as I am concerned nothing you mentioned there is little. We need Gods help, and our churches are not helping us at all.

optimumprimus: the Nigerian environment is very dirty. african cultures are very dirty . dirty and scanty environment,poor esthetics and lack of attention to detail. poor diet and hygiene ,stinking people with disgusting body odour .
most black people around the world including african americans are often religious because of self pity and victim mentality . they are praying to a white bearded man up in the sky to save them from their misery. their neighborhoods and environments are dirty and ghetto.
people who lived in clean and civilized societies like in Norway,denmark,germany ,Japan or sweden ,are less religious .

Please make sure you tell God this, give Him this excuse on the judgement day.
That black people are religious because they are not developed.
If I am not mistaken, you also belong to a church too.
But this devil try no be small!!!

.

optimumprimus: theres no judgement day. you are going to die within the next 70 years. get with the program and stop living in fantasy .

I hate to say this, but the Bible says you are a fool. Not me.

Ahh..the rapture. Can't wait for our Lawd Jeezeus Kryst to come take me with him to claim my mansion and the virgins to go with it. Oh happy day

Boland: @ Op, I believe that even if some1 had been a sinner all his life and he repented in his last minute of life, he can be saved.

na lie..person wey die for accident go get chance to repent?... If I hear

[size=18pt]Because it is a delusion, a joke, a total fuckery and mockery of the human reasoning.[/size]

Rapture! Rapture!! Rapture!!!
Is all i've been hearing right from my mother's womb, today i'm already getting to my late 20s and yet to see it come true, and i also realised it has been long waited upon by christian believers for close to 2000yrs prior to this day.
Sincerely i dont believe in any rapture no more and so i aint even consciouse or awaiting such an event, it's just a waste of time doing so cos it aint happening.
In the next 50yrs we would still be hearing ''rapture will soon take place''

Pls Wake me up when it does happen!

mi raye oshi!

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
Romans 6:1

hmmmmm by dis little standards above i tink no one wud make heaven seriously. no man is perfect o its jst Gods gift of grace dat wud save us.

food for thought.....remember d thief dat was crucified wit Jesus? whom Jesus promised eternal life there and then. compare dat scenerio wit wat d op wrote above den i tink u myt understand my view.

op wat u wrote is appreciated

Boland: @ Op, I believe that even if some1 had been a sinner all his life and he repented in his last minute of life, he can be saved.

u cant cheat God.This person u r talkin about must have hrd about God thru d course of his life n then waited till he was about takin his dyin breathe.All d same,rapture is 4 d holy,he cudnt have bcom holy immediately.We r supposed to b practisin our heavenly lifestyle here on earth.

4 Christ did not come into the world to condemn the world but that through him the world can b saved.

Yomieluv: Mr pastor,you are deluded.

If all these won't make people make heaven,then I can tell you categorically none will make heaven with this your write up.

My God is a God of grace.

. God is God wheither u believe or not he remains God. Wheither u repent or u refuse, u accept or reject him, u love or u hate him, u obey or disobey him, u reverence or u rebel against him. Whateva reaction u might show towards him can neva add to him or reduce him. He has the whole world in his palm. He knows the end from the begining. The AM that AM. The unqestionable God. The one that reduce the stoborness of pharoah to nothing, the pride of nebuchadinazar to beast walking on all fours. I fear HIM. Even if the whole world refuse him it doestn change whom he is. It can not change the standard of God. God is a merciful God and a consuming fire. The choice is yours to choose right or wrong. To be continued....

kennyonthrone: I doubt if anybody wil b raptured.....we al knw dat christainz of 2day na jst 4 mouth......if dia should b rapture nw broda sincerely speakin many*if nt al* myself inclusive wil b missin out

I share your sentiments man, i dont think anybody can make heaven, base on the criterias the op listed above, and its like this is the main reason the rapture is yet to occur. because God is aware the little number of peeps who would be saved.
