FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 2nd TIMOTHY 3:13
"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:23-25
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to man; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done and there is no respect of person."
GOLDEN TEXT: GALATIANS 6:6-8
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
THE LAW OF RETRIBUTION:
Murderers, dupes, armed-robbers, thieves, fornicators, adulterers, the wicked, arrogant and saucy ones, gossips, prostitutes, liars, quick-tempered and all categories of men should listen with rapt attention because something is about to happen. I want you to know that: GIVING IS SYNONYMOUS TO RECEIVING. We are now harvesting all that we sowed for there is nothing we do without receiving our due recompense. I am not saying that your father, mother, brother, sister will receive your reward, you will receive your reward personally, both good and bad as the case may be. If you sowed bad seeds, same shall you reap. Hence whatever happens to you is the compensation for your deeds. You will say, "I am very regular in the church, yet I being faced with the vicissitudes of life, I am still living in penury, I am still afflicted." And I ask, "have you done something good and beneficial?" You cannot reap what you did not sow. You keep saying that you cannot abstain from sin because you are not Christ, that you are only of the flesh and blood. Be aware that if you are inclined to the flesh, you will perish and if you are committed to the spirit, you will reap eternal life.
To you deceivers and dupes, are you not aware that if you con somebody and obtain twenty-thousand naira that another person will do same or even worse to you? If you deceive another person and elope with his wife, the same recompense will you receive. If you tell one lie against somebody, another person will tell five lies against you. So brethren, whatever evil somebody speaks of you, do not respond because another some other person will speak even worse evil of him or her, else you will share in the ill fate that is befalling the worldly people presently. That is the law of retribution.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED:
This lesson denotes the fulfillment of all the scriptures which means that I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY WORK. SO TAKE NOTE BECAUSE WE HAVE FINALLY COME TO OUR BERTHING POINT. THIS IS THE LAST OF THE SCRIPTURES.
Let our First Bible Lesson be re-examined.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 2nd TIMOTHY 3:13
"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
YOUR REWARD:
Murderers, tricksters, con-artist, liars, dupes, thieves, armed robbers, have you heard what is being read? If you dupe someone of twenty naira and another person dupes you of forty naira, what is your gain? You are granted a loan by the bank to help you finance a business but you refuse to repay the loan, at the same time, you have contracted somebody to build a house for you but after building the house, he claims it for himself. What is your gain? Or if you grant another person a loan and he refuses to pay you back, what is your reward? Know from now that there is no evil committed whose reward you will not receive, irrespective of your fasting and prayers and your charitable tendencies.
For instance, there was a young man who seduced his father's wife and the father summoned him before the village council. According to the norms and values of this village, he was to pay a specified fine for that offense. There was one old man in that village who, on hearing the case and the penalty the young was to pay, interfered. For he saw no reason why the young man should be held and penalized. According to him, the young man committed no offense because he was simply taking after his father's precedence, for the father had also seduced his father's wife. At this point, the case ended itself as people immediately scattered and went back to their houses; they quickly agreed with that old man. So the message here is that FOR ANYTHING YOU DO, YOU WILL BE REWARDED IN YOUR OWN COIN.
Brethren, you are aware that whenever I cite instances, I make them three. Here is another one.
There was a certain man in a certain village who had a son. This man took ill and was taken to all the hospitals, both orthodox and native ones but to no avail. At a point, the son was fed-up and discouraged. He now tricked the father saying that he was taking him to another town to meet another specialist whom he was sure would cure him of the sickness. He drove the father in his car to a very remote village and into the forest. There, he dumped him. When he got home, people asked him, " Where is your father?" He lied that he was being hospitalized .
As he grew up, he married a wife and begot a son. At his old age, he developed the same sickness as his father. As it were, his son struggled and took him to almost every hospital of repute, including native homes but to no avail, until he was fed up. This son deceived him that he was taking him to a specialist hospital in another town and drove him in his car to exactly the same forest and spot he had dumped his father. As he was about to go back, the father called him and said, "My son, come, I have something to tell you. I am not saying that you should take me back or leave me here but I want to tell you a story so that this curse will leave our family. Because if you leave me here, your son will also bring you here and so on, from generation to generation. I want to tell you the story. This place you have dumped me was my father's grave. He had the same sickness I am having and all the hospitals you have taken me to, I had taken him to. Everything you have gone through, I had also gone through with my father. I want this curse to stop in our family because if you leave me here, it will go on unabated, for your son will also leave you here."
Beloved brethren, when the son heard that confession, he took his father back home and eventually he recovered. Realize therefore that whatever you do, another person will also do the same to you.
Let the Second Bible Lesson be read.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:23-25
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."
DISSEMINATE THE GOSPEL:
Brethren, know that there is nothing that is done in the world today that has never been done before and there is nothing in particular that is done to you that has never been done, but right now the spirit of deceit has been taken from you. Every such thing should end now because THIS LESSON MARKS MY LAST ADVICE TO YOU. REGISTER THIS LESSON IN YOUR MEMORY. PUBLISH AND DISSEMINATE TO OTHERS TO READ WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION. IF THEY LIKE IT, THEY WILL TAKE IT, BUT IF THEY DO NOT LIKE IT, IT IS THEIR BUSINESS; FOR ANYBODY WHO DERAILS FROM THE PATH OF THE TRUTH IS PERISHED FROM THIS GENERATION AND GENERATIONS TO COME.
Is it not baffling that from the time of Adam, we are still falling prey to offensive styles and thus inheriting problems?
THIS IS THE LAST INJUNCTION I AM GIVING YOU. IF YOU DO NOT PRACTISE IT YOU WILL HAVE TO SUFFER FOR IT. Personally, since I was born, I have not associated with anybody who is of the flesh because I know the repercussion of it. I know also that right from the foundation of the world there is yet to be found one honest person. WE ARE NOT TRUTHFUL. A child is not truthful to the parents, a husband is not truthful to the wife, a brother is not truthful to a sister, FRIENDS ARE NOT TRUTHFUL TO FRIENDS, kiths and kins, the whites, the blacks are not truthful and nobody is truthful. BUT REMEMBER THAT EVERY EVIL YOU COMMIT SHALL FIND YOU OUT. YOU MUST PAY FOR IT. IF YOU DID NOT KNOW, KNOW IT NOW. EVEN IF YOU GO TO THE SKY, THE ABYSS OR OCEAN TO PERPETRATE EVIL, YOU WILL PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE STIPULATES THAT YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT. IF YOU DO NOT ADHERE TO THIS INSTRUCTION, TILL ETERNITY YOU ARE DOOMED.
WHO IS TRUTHFUL:
Brethren I do not intend to belabour you. BUT KNOW THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS (Acts 10:34): IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN; AND ANY SIN YOU COMMIT LIVES WITH YOU; AND WHATEVER YOU DO UNTO OTHERS WILL BE DONE UNTO YOU. Take a cue from the whites. They are truthful. Reference is here made to the late King George of England. He had three children, two males and one female. When he died, the first son was called upon to inherit his throne but he ran away to Germany. That throne was vacant until the second son came of age and then he inherited it. He ruled and later died. The question I am asking is, were there no other men in England when this throne was vacant? There were men but nobody struggled for that position. If it were in Africa, heads would have rolled among the greedy aspirants to power. But there, the whites will rather preserve it for the family with the bona fide and exclusive rights irrespective of the time somebody would emerge.
In Africa, some greedy prominent men would have gone there and offered money to take over the position and rob that family of their right. It is the struggle for power and positions that claim the lives of many people in Africa. If it is not the struggle for position, it is the struggle for the acquisition of land. My advice to you therefore is that if you are in possession of somebody's land, quietly relinquish it to the owner until it pleases him to offer it to you. Any other thing you are keeping, hand it over, because anything you obtain by force or out of your influence will be collected from you by a more powerful and influential person. If you capitalize on one's weak position or limited power to hurt him or her, another person will do the same to you. Therefore, anything we embark on we should do it with a truthful, kind, merciful and pure heart so that we may not regret at last because God is no respecter of persons. That is why it is often said that as far as you cannot forgive your brother for his wrong, God too cannot forgive your sins because He is the Chief Judge.
You are familiar with the story of one master who was owed ten thousand pounds by one of his servants and when he asked for it, the servant prostrated on the ground pleading that he did not have the money as yet. The master had mercy on him and forgave him the debt. But as soon as this servant got to the street he saw somebody who owed him only one hundred pennies. He held onto the person's shirt and said until his debt was paid, he would not be released. In spite of the person's persuasions that he had not got the money as yet, he refused to let him go.
On seeing the attitude of this man with his debtor, the other servants of the rich man went and reported him that the debtor whom he had just pardoned was holding another debtor to his ransom. The rich man ordered that he be brought immediately to him. He asked him, you were owing me ten thousand pounds and I forgave you, why then could you not pardon another person? He ordered him to be locked up in the prison until he paid his debt. (Matt 18:22-34). The question is how is he going to repay the loan? Had he pardoned his debtor, would he have been involved in such a problem? That is what you all are doing today. But this is the last advice, and if you do not heed it, you will have yourselves to blame. Let our Golden Text be read again.
GOLDEN TEXT: GALATIANS 6:6-8
"Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
BE FAITHFUL:
Brethren, do not blame your mother, father, brother, sister, friend, relatives, child, or any other person. Let the blame be on you because you are the architect of your fate. Any good thing you do will accompany you, and any evil you commit lives with you. YOU ARE REWARDED ACCORDING TO YOUR DEEDS. Even if you live for one thousand years and you continue to dabble in evil, corruption shall be your lot all the days of your life. If you do good, your ways will be glorious.
The scriptures have already stipulated that DECEIVERS WILL EQUALLY BE DECEIVED, therefore for everything that you do, do it faithfully and with a pure heart, do it as if you are doing it unto God, because in due season you will receive your reward. If you perpetrate evil, your reward will equally not be in doubt.
Why we do not receive anything good is because of our evil ways. Do you know why Our Lord Jesus Christ was able to open the seal spoken about in the Bible (Rev 5:1-5)? And do you know why it is said that those who believe in him have everlasting life? (John 6:47/14:6). The reason is that He is the only truthful person, he believes in His Father and He does only the Father's will. Besides, He voluntarily shed His blood for our salvation. (John 10: 17-18). Consequently, we are now walking majestically without fear and through Him the kingdom of God is here on earth. AS OUR LAST COMMANDMENT, I SAY: "DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WISH OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU."
Brethren, a word is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears hear what the HOLY SPIRIT has imparted to the whole world. May God bless His Holy Words. AMEN.
THANK YOU FATHER.
