Why Delay Could Be Very Dangerous

One of the few preachers I have so much respect for in this generation is the late Reinhard Bonnke. His passion for lost souls was really mind blowing.

It was beyond glaring that whenever he spoke about souls, he wasn't just saying it for saying sake and superficially with his mouth and lips, but from the depth of his heart, with all of his might, strength and even his whole life.

I came to learn that his rare passion for souls was actually inspired by a life-changing experience he had while he was still young.

He was led of the Spirit to warn a lady to repent of her sinful ways after a church service, however after he did the lady didn't heed his warning because according to her, she had a boyfriend and wasn't willing to leave him yet.

Sadly, she didn't know that was the last chance she had to do so, as on her way back from that same service, she was involved in a ghastly motor accident which claimed her life.

Therefore Reinhard Bonnke was actually sent to give her the last warning and chance to do so, but she didn't know it. He himself didn't even realize it until he received the shocking news about her death.

But thankfully for him he had done just as he was led to do regardless, and hence exonerated himself, otherwise he would have lived with that regret for the rest of his life.

That very incident had a transformating effect on Reinhard Bonnke, as it made him realize how important the matter of soul winning was. That it wasn't a joke but a very serious matter in the order of life and death therefore ought to be taken very seriously, hence from that day onwards he would pursue it as though his own life depended on it.

A family friend who was also a preacher also had a similar experience. He had asked a friend of his to repent and give his life to Jesus, but the man laughed and said that he would do so, but not yet because he had not enjoyed life yet, and he was still young and still had a long life ahead of him, so why would he be in a hurry to do so?

He said it was only after he had enjoyed life to the fullest and had become old that he would then repent and give his life to Christ.

Sadly for him though, he didn't didn't know that those moments he was saying this were actually his last moments on Earth, as on his way back home he had an accident which claimed his life.

So he didn't have as much time to make that decision as he thought he did but sadly he learnt that the hard way and now it's too late for him to do so.

That's why delay is very dangerous.

God bless.

About this time of the year twenty years ago, i paid a visit to my best friend after i had briefly visited the state his school was located to attend an occasion. While with him, I had a strong urge to ask him to repent and give his life to Christ, and although it wasn't very easy or comfortable for me, i did just as I was led to do. After doing so I prayed for him before I left.

I can't tell if he decided to heed my preaching or not because he didn't give a clear response, but I was happy that I had done that and taken that burden off my chest before leaving the state the next day.

I didn't know that was the last time I was going to see my friend as a few months later I received a phone call that he had died while returning to school.

The person who broke this news to me, knowing how close I was to this guy, thought I had fainted or so after I heard the news when I went silent briefly, that he immediately shouted my name on the phone, but he didn't need to because i was still very calm.

The reason, I suppose, was because i had gone out of my way to warn him the last time we met to repent as I was led to do, damning the consequences of such, even if costs us our friendship and makes him to start avoiding me.

But if I hadn't done that and warned him the last time I saw him despite the heavy burden on my heart to do so, perhaps, so as not to offend him and then I got to receive this news, I most surely would have been devastated by it and would never forgive myself for not giving my friend that chance.

But I had done that which I could do for him, so even though I was saddened at the news, I was yet calm hoping that he heeded the warning I gave to him the last time I saw him to repent.

I learnt that all the passengers in the luxurious bus he boarded got burnt beyond recognition, so there was no special funeral but just a grave dug where all the bodies of the passengers including his were put into.

I later got to see the burnt luxurious bus while traveling down that same route, and it seemed really strange how the fire could have started and managed to be that devastating that none of them could escape, but it happened and the rest is now history.

That's why delay could be very dangerous especially after you have been warned to repent, because anything can happen at any time.

God bless.

That's why now is the time of salvation, because now is the only time you're sure of, not even the next moment, as shown by the above instances, because it could be too late.

Also do no let anyone, including your friends stop you from making that decision for God, because I've learnt that if someone died, the best thing they could do for the person is to mourn him or her and tell them to rest in peace, but the truth is that if the person didn't repent and died in sin because of them, the person can never rest in peace, because hell is not a place of rest or peace but of eternal torment.

Worst still, those friends may later repent of theirs and turn to Christ, and then end up in heaven, and not join the person they misled into hell.

That's why it's very unwise not to repent because of anyone else.

God bless

Delay is painful

Imagine God delaying you, telling you your time is 2026 and devil still come add him own on-top that time plus village people own, omo!

You with ya sh**ty story..a person had an accident you link it to repentance..is this how you folks win ya own soul..?

You are trying to say..if one doesn't repent he's gonna die..who ain't gonna die?
Or those persons butchered in their place of worship didn't repent too?
If a just and omnipotent god really existed, wouldn't he make sure everyone read and understood exactly what the demands are? Especially given the impact of the proposed punishment?

How would you view a human government that wouldn't or couldn't clearly communicate it's laws yet makes people disappear and sentence them to death in secret trials?
Furthermore there is zero evidence any gods or hell even exist...

Hell is just a scare tactic to make people go to church and donate money..no one should fall for it...

I'm saying delay is very dangerous and if you don't repent before you die you'd find out why delay is very dangerous...

Many in hell wish they didn't delay their repentance.

Jesusjnr, the Lord will continue to strengthen you. Keep saying the truth

Echoing the same old claptrap..have you been to hell or seen anyone there for you to be so optimistic that there's anything like that?

This is same old bullshit.


When you die, it ends.


There's nothing dangerous about anything.


It's all hogwash to create panic with fear of hell.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Some in hell who refused to repent were saying the same thing, but now they know why delay is dangerous because it's now too late for them to repent.

Same repetition..
Ok..

Amen bro!

It's been quite a while. I hope you're doing great.

Yeah quite a while. Am good. We bless the Lord. Happy Sunday

Tomorrow might too late

Hmm

BIG BROTHER NIGERIA SEASON 7 OF
IMMORALITY.
Housemates are Christians. It's normal
for the female ones to expose their
breast to the world and also to have sex
live on TV while family members
watches at home. Regrettably Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) is not
worried about this trend of immorality,
but they're worried about bishops that
attended Sen. Bola Tinubu's event.

Yeah delay is very dangerous
My friend told me to put all my live savings on a roulette in Vegas,I delayed and ended up not staking
He staked and he's now 200 times richer than me
Verily I say unto you comrades, delay is very dangerous.

H

It's appointed for a man to die once, after death, judgement.

Live every minute as if it were your last. Don’t joke with your salvation. There is a afterlife where everyone will spend eternity. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, when you “die” that’s not the end, you have only been transformed from one form to another where you will remain forever!

The God you serve matters, stop serving self in the guise of atheism, stop serving idols in the guise of the true God. The only true God is Yahweh, any other god will take you straight to hellfire, they are counterfeits!

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Echoing the same old claptrap..have you been to hell or seen anyone there for you to be so optimistic that there's anything like that?

You might not have seen anyone that has been to hell but I bet you also haven't met anyone that died and came back to tell you for sure that nothing happens after death. We are all very ignorant about the afterlife. So get off your high horse and allow people to believe what they want to believe. Just face your own life journey.

You and this your propaganda in the name of campaigning for BAT, please rest. There have always been Muslims in BBN. There was Khafi, Yousef. This year there is Khalid. I don't know what your point is. If you feel the show is bad, simply condemn it and stop attacking one religion.

Thank you Satan.
