There
have been rumors about people returning from hell to tell their stories and
experiences. I have not been able to confirm any but I have one that Jesus
talked about. It was the case of Lazarus and the rich man. Hell has deep fury
that the rich man’s enjoyment on earth could not compensate for the agony he
was experiencing in hell. He was so agonized that he had to beg that a drop of water
into his mouth would suffice for his pain and agony. What a situation to be in,
but the dangerous and alarming part of the situation, is that, it is forever.
God is not kidding; He has the integrity to fulfill all His words without one
failing. Hell is one of them. Hell was so furious that the rich man who never
cared for Lazarus (Lazarus had to make do with crumbs that fell from the rich
man’s table) had to beg that someone be sent to His relatives on earth, so that
they won’t come into the agony he was experiencing (Luke 16; 24-27). The rich fool
could not share his resources with people but wanted all for himself (Luke 12;
16-21). Yet this rich man was so agonized that the fury of Hell could not compensate for any enjoyment he had on earth. So hatred,
malice, selfishness etc. were quenched by the fury of Hell. Most of us deprive
people of many things; materials things, money, love, job, favor, forgiveness
etc. but hell has the fury to take them away from you and that is not the right
place to surrender those evil qualities. Those evil agenda can be surrendered
at the feet of Jesus before it is too late. If you think you have got it figured
out,you are headed for hell because that rich man thought he did. Little
educational knowledge makes us think we have it all figured out. No, you don’t,
because what you know is infinitesimal compared to the body of knowledge
available in that area you know and the whole body of knowledge itself is pony
compared to God’s knowledge. God favored you to be relevant, that does not mean
you are the most brilliant. Deep hatred make us think we have it all figured
out because we shut people out of our lives because of past hurt and we think
we have it figured out. The temporary peace of shutting them out makes us feel
we have it all figured out. Little success in businesses make us feel we have
it all figured out and we eat all we get from the success we attribute to ourselves
instead of sharing the resources with the needy. Our bodies will become fat but
our soul becomes lean. The prosperity of your soul determines the prosperous of
your body (3 John 1;2). That is why your money cannot buy you good health
because what you should have used to nourished others have been used to nourish
your soul. It is cancer to your body and soul and it is eating you up. There is
however a great news! Someone delivered you from the fury of hell. If you are
waiting for anyone to confirm the story of hell for you, I am here doing that
because no dead person or dead prophet will be sent to you to do that (Luke 16;
27-31). God has many of His prophets telling you that singular story daily.
Hell is real and there is no better person to tell you the story of hell than
He who knows the fury of hell; He created hell and He is the only one that can
throw anyone into hell. Out of Love, mercy and compassion He decided to
bankrupt Himself to deliver you from the power of hell (2 Cor 8;9). He stripped
himself of all His glory and honour to deliver us from the fury of Hell. He
took on our weak nature when he took on our human body; He was sold the price
of a slave. As if that was not enough, the Roman soldiers’ whip tore through
His body to give you peace and sound health. He then nailed your sinful nature to the cross
where no reference can be made to your past. People can make reference to your
past and even your conscience can, but to God your past does not exist because
Jesus is no longer on the cross. This is no other person than Jesus. Come to Him
today and accept Him into your heart. It is your duty to hear, believe and
accept Him and the Holy Spirit gives you a birth certificate (Eph 1;13). Join
the community of Christ followers around you and don’t be deterred by attitude of
people and Pastors because you don’t get distracted by the nature of people’s
sickness when you visit hospital for treatment, you are only concerned about
getting treated. Earthly Doctors can be engaged in malpractice or make mistakes,the
same way you find some men of God misappropriating God’s word but only Jesus
Christ is the perfect doctor. You are healed by His stripes
