“And many of them that sleep in the dust of the Earth(die) shall awake, some to everlasting life(heaven) and some to shame and everlasting suffering (hell)”.
Today, we'll be focusing on the second option... which is hell.
1. When one lives a life of self pleasure and refuses to obey the commands given to him by His creator; and lives a life based on his self/fleshy-driven pleasures,his end is guaranteed to be shameful, regretful and horrid.
2. According to privileged servants of the Lord who are taken to hell by Jesus Christ, they testify of how many people there cry about the fact of them missing the opportunity to give their life to Christ when they were still on earth.
In the end, they find themselves in hell, constantly regretting their actions on earth. The worst fact is that there are still so many individuals nowadays who go about believing that there is no such place as hell! They only believe in what they can see, so, as hell is in the spiritual realm, they decide not to believe in it's existence.
When one preaches to them, they merely disregard the teachings, sometimes make mockery of evangelists; some even go as far as to hurt or assault the preacher.
3. Also, from the beginning of time, God has been calling people through His mediums lol Ike prophets, evangelists, pastors to name a few, telling unbelievers to repent or face the consequences of their wrongdoings at the end of their life/time (when they die).
4. Like the sermon Jesus preaches concerning the rich man and Lazarus in the book Luke 16:19-31: Christ taught us about what will happen if one does in sin, and doesn't confess of his sins and repent of them. Many people are able to confess their sins, but are unable to forsake it; so, they live a life of an unrepentant sinner. Because of this, one needs spiritual help from a good man or woman of God, to help him and to counsel him on how he can able to overcome his spiritual weakness.
The solutions are through prayers, reading and knowing the word of God, meditating and practising the word of God, self control, abstaining from the things that always make you to stumble and most importantly, seeking help from the Holy Spirit.
5. In Matthew 25:41....
“Then shall he say also into them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”
According to this verse, hell was meant for the devil and his angels. It was when they had sinned from the very beginning before Adam and Eve were created. But when man also fell in the garden of Eden, through lust and greed, the sinner became a partner with the devil and his angels.
Hell was created for those who rebel against the will and commandments of God.
6. John 3:36......
“He that believe in the Son have everlasting life and he that believe not on the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abide on him”.
If you didn't know, the wrath of God is also hell fire. Those that think they are enjoying now, in the world, without having a relationship with Christ will have themselves to blame in the end of their lives.
The bottom line: The only thing that can save ones from hell is Christ in you, your hope of glory. May the spirit of God help you to realise the need to have Christ now in your life before it's too late.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this post. I hope you've learnt something from this short message to keep in mind. You should know that hell is a really terrible place; it's not the one in movies or cartoons. Hell is as real as heaven is, but it's not worth going to, brethren. Please, you have to work hard, work hard in building your home in heaven and not building your game on earth. It's really not worth it; it really isn't.
Anyways, I pray the Lord guards you and encourages you in your spiritual walk with Him and if you're yet to come of realization of the truth of His word, I pray He manifests himself unto you.
Share this to everyone you know, please, I urge you to do so! We are in the end times and Jesus' return draws near. Leave a question if you don't understand anything relating to this topic and I'll be sure to answer quickly. Follow this blog for more messages like this.

Heaven is the final dwelling place of the saints after physical death on earth.
In John 14:2, Jesus says.......
“In my Father's house, there are mansions; I go to prepare a place for you...”
If you can remember, Jesus also promised the thief at the cross, paradise, because the thief pleaded for mercy from Jesus at the cross.
Luke 23:43....“Today shall thou be with me in paradise”
So, heaven is the place where God, Jesus Christ, the Holy angels and the redeemed saints dwell.
Here are 9 Biblical Facts the Lord revealed to me about heaven:
FACT 1: In Matthew 6:20, Christ advises and admonishes us to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves do not break through not still; Heaven is the safest place to store up treasures without fear of them being stealing or corrupted.
FACT 2:Revelation 21 and 22 tells about the beauty of heaven, and how the evil ones; like murderers, whoremongers and sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, will not partake in the beauty of heaven.
FACT 3:In 2 Corinthians 5:1, Paul teaches us that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved (means if we die in the physical form), we have a building of God, an house not made with hands and eternal in the heavens. If we die in the physical, our souls and spirits are alive in the heavenly realm with Christ, in paradise. But to receive such blessing, one must give his life to Christ and live according to the commands Jesus gave us through His disciples (Mt 28:19-20).
FACT 4: In Luke 20:35-36, Jesus admonishes us that in the world to come, we will be like the angels;
“....but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead(rapture) neither marry not are given in marriage, neither can they die anymore, for they are equal into the angels”.
FACT 5:Revelation 7:13-17 explains that the great multitude from the great tribulation were taken to heaven after they have been killed by the Antichrist, because they held on to their testimonies and refused to accept the mark of worship of the beast by the Antichrist.
Furthermore, the moment they were killed, their souls went straight up to paradise to receive their rewards (which is to be with Christ).
FACT 6:1 Corinthians 15:26,54- In heaven, there is no death or sorrow, death only reigned on earth because of sin and iniquity. But when dies here, even as a righteous man, he will be saved in heaven where there is no death or weeping.
Does a righteous man die because of sin or because he is wicked? Neither!
Also, a righteous man must die in the physical; it's appointed into men once to die (Heb 9:27)
WHY?
Because God has declared that man must return to dust (Gen 3:19).
This is why even a good man must pay the death price, so as to fulfil the command God has given. This is also why Jesus Christ came to save us from the spiritual death (hell), but all, whether good or bad, must pass through the physical death.
However, in heaven, there is nothing like death. For, there, is the place the Father dwells. It is holy and pure ;that is why there is no death there.
Note: The only thing that made death to reign in the physical was SIN. Sin is the promoter of death here .
FACT 7: In Mt 13:43, Jesus preaches about the saints shining forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father,“.....the saints will shine like the sun in heaven”. Just like in the mountain of transfiguration, when Jesus appeared in His glory in the presence of His disciples; Moses and Elijah also appeared with Him.
When the disciples saw them, they were afraid because Moses and Elijah were like angels in heaven.
This shows that those who will make heaven will shine like the sun in heaven.
Isn't that wonderful?!
(Comment down below if you think it's awesome!)
FACT 8: In the book of Romans 8:17, Paul teaches us the importance of being children of God. He says that if we suffer with Christ, we will be or made glorified with Him.
FACT 9: Also, Philippians 3:21, tells us that Christ will change our vile body and fashion it like His glorious body Remember, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
And that's all!
Heaven is where righteousness and purity dwells. For one to be a candidate of heaven, one must be holy, righteous, pure and above all, have the love and mercy of God.
Conclusion
Thank you so much for reading this short message on heaven. I hope you learnt one or two things from it and you take home some points. Believe me, heaven is truly worth going to. It's indescribable and even writing a 10,000 words essay on it would not adequately explain its beauty and awesomeness. You'll just have to work hard to get there! (As I am too) . I'll be looking forward to seeing you there!
