IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD – THAT’S NOT NEW: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN DEATH – IT’S INEVITABLE!
“For I AM the Lord, I CHANGE not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” Malachi 3:6
Some people thinks that BELIEVING in God and or not BELIEVING in God and or being doubtful if there’s God, will change the person of the sovereignty of God. Sorry my friend, that will not at all happen, if that’s your position – and it makes no difference at all about the sovereignty of God – for He CHANGES not and there’s no CONTROVERSY about Him, by what you hold or claims to hold about Him before or now.
“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
Some others think it is their place to be emboldened and to make it known and loud, on why not to BELIEVE in God; and to question if there’s a God besides what they think as freelance thinker or atheists shows stupidity and fooolishness as it’s written:
” The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is NO God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” Psalms 14:1.
And to imagine if the called God can make you unique, exclusive, important and APPLAUDED and HYPE for whatsoever reason in your assumptions or conclusions shows pure ignorance and delusional in context because it’s deadly to position yourself to be something that you are not and will never be.
“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.
And if you don’t FEAR God, I have these scriptural news for you to read in order to be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, if such is your case because you aren’t the first to think or imagine otherwise about God – Luke 8:1-8 Acts 17.
Unfortunately for many in their ignorance, one thing that is a certainty for all the living creation – RICH or POOR – there’s a life span for all under the sun. And this is irrespective of how morally good in your own ways you are outside God’s planned REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead are; or on how wealthy or poor you might have ascertained in status and position and or have acquired the laid up blocks of being mighty, great and successful in life in humanity. There’s an end point of life span at the undated end road, in which your BELIEVE or UNBELIEVE of God will matter then; and at that point, a mere oxygen or wealth or attained status or acquired success can’t keep any alive, and then is your an ANSWER to the giver of eternal spirit and breath that’s in all human beings – which is in eternity, the breath of God in all – (Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Amplified; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27; Genesis 2:7).
The Holy Scripture of Luke 18:1-8 portrays in verses 2 and 4 of a JUDGE, who BELIEVE not in God and have no regards and sense of humanity in him for his fellow human being. How much bad could somebody status be in life. So it’s not knew to not BELIEVE in God; much more to disregards others around you because of your class, status, position and acquisitions in life.
However, HEREIN are some reasons to PAUSE and THINK about your UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING position toward God:
** In the Holy Writ of Luke 16:13-31, there is a living story of a RICH PERSON and POOR PERSON. The RICH man felt all he has attained what will buy him access to God. He NEVER believe death can even get to his doorsteps. As written in verse 21, the RICH man died just as the POOR man called Lazarus died. Remembering Lazarus was daily begging for help at his gate, without his consideration on care on this poor beggar. Unfortunately for the RICH man he became a beggar at death and his wealth and status never followed him.
** A YOUNG rich man was considered to be a foolish rich man in the Holy Writ of Luke 12:13-21. He thought by His acquisition in life he could even buy death. His pride killed him, simply for His disbelieve of being rich toward God.
** The Holy Writ of Acts 12:18-23 gives the most profound of being foolish and ignorance of God. This was exhibited by King Herod whom the scriptures described as one that was very wicked and enjoys the ovation and applaud of men – acclaimed as being God himself. When his breath of life was taken away from him by eternal God he despised, then he knows who actually is God and that there’s God.
I pray you found yourself before God gets hold of you in an awkward position when it’s difficult to bend and reverse the clock of your time while your life breath is still here on earth – Hebrews 9:27.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that WISE men die, likewise the FOOL and the BRUTISH person perish, and leave their WEALTH to others. 11 Their inward THOUGHT is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in HONOUR, and UNDERSTANDETH not, is like the beasts that perish” Psalms 49:13-20.
