TO MY FRIEND FULL OF WORRIES


NO ONE KNOWS WHEN..............



Just some few more weeks after the first encounter, I slept and had yet another dream, this time it was short but very scary. In the dream I saw myself going somewhere on a busy road, then suddenly, I heard a noise that can be likened to a big trucks horn, it was so loud that everyone around had to stop to look for where the noise came from, it sounded again, this louder than the first, people got confused because no one seems to know where it coming from and couldn't see anything. It was dark and there were no light around, everyone got scarred and scattered. The sound continues, someone around said, I guess it’s a war alert, war alert? Run for your life and stop asking silly questions uttered another fellow. Some seconds later, the whole place was scattered as people were screaming and running towards different directions not even know where they are heading or what they are running from, reporters with their cameras, journalist with their pen and paper all running around, people making calls to each other without clear conversation. Stop! Stop! What is going on around, why are you all running around with no reason, well! I was only talking to myself, as no one seems to hear or even notice me. I stopped running, waiting to see the cause of this whole thing. People began going missing, a man was on the phone with someone, the next thing I saw was the phone dropping on the floor and the man disappeared and on and on it went. I was so confused, I knew it was rapture but why am I still here, I was looking here and there, devastated and confused, the only thing I could utter was God help me, what is going on, I want to go as well! I prayed like never before.
I ran back to my house and couldn't find anyone at first, I eventually saw my sister sleeping, and I wonder where she was while the whole thing was going on. Troops of armed men, looking so scary well-built men with Guns and war weapons, in machine vehicles and trucks, roaming and sounding mysteriously, yelling at the ones left on EARTH, one of them stood up and said
Attention you all, I am now in charge so you may all have to behave yourselves because there is no joke and no one is ever going to come for you, you have had enough time to go up- there, but since you have decided to stay and wait for me. I am glad to see you all but I might not be nice to you, you will be apportioned your due task, you must enable to do them without complaints else your task will be doubled. I hope I have made myself clear, now get to work. Work began so also beatings, rebellion children was the name given to all, I challenged on of the men, I am not one so mind the way you speak to me, he looked at me in disgust and said, if you aren't one, why were you not caught up fool? The word hit me and I began to shed tears. He said to me, it is too late to cry, truly you were a good person at least better than some other ones we have got here but you are too stone-hearted (Ezek 36vs 26), when the almighty gives you an instruction, (Zech 7vs 12-13) you are either too fearful to get it done or you don’t want to do it at all. This is the reason why you were not caught up, you always allow the fear of, “what if” to dominate you (Psalms 54vs 61,118 vs. 6) but if I can, I wish you won’t be here again. Again, I exclaimed! Maybe you should think over, make amend and then I will talk to the boss on your behalf perhaps he will let you go, I wiped my tears off at once  and shouted, I am ready! I am ready!! What do I do, what do you want? This work is too much for me, it will just kill me please I don’t want to stay! I screamed and cried and begged, I was made to carry something’s I can’t move and someone was constantly beating me, everywhere was heated up seems the wind has seized Joel 2vs 30-31). It looked as if the law of nature has seized to be, No light, water, moon, sun, nothing, yet could see. Such a great torment was it for all; no one dares to rest as there is a designated person to beat you up if you try such. The torture is not killing anyone but the pain is inexpiable that one will wish to be dead. People started confessing to the name of Jesus but the army seriously dealt with whoever calls that name.

The heaven suddenly open on us and we saw people peeping down on earth and looked down on us, it looks like there had been a separation because as we could hear everyone enjoying themselves, we all long to have a ladder that will lead us into that presence. There the sun shined so bright, different from the way it shined on earth. I guess the man up there just wanted to do a show off so we could see what we are missing; we couldn't communicate each other. At that point, it dawned on me that I have just missed the great day I thought I had planned and prepared for, I wept profusely till there were no more tears, I wish I will die but death was nowhere near, I pleaded for a second chance, I went on my kneels crying profusely. I woke up to discover I was dreaming. My bed was soaked in tears seeming like a reality. It was 2am and I heard a siren from the neighbourhood  I got so scared, thought it really happened, I ran outside, opened the door, everywhere was quite, it was the police men on patrol, I was the only one at home, I fell on my knees once again and pleaded for mercy, as much as I gave thanks that it was a dream. I remain in the shock for few weeks before it finally sink into me.
It could have only been God that had mercy on me because it was real, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to share this, God forbid, I would be in hell by now, but the God we serve so full of mercy and compassion has revealed his mind so we can re trace our step back to him and surrender totally to his sovereignty.

YOUR ATTITUDE WILL BREAK YOU


IT'S YOUR CALL 
Just some few weeks into the New Year of 2012, I had a dream but right before I went to bed I had an argument with my sister. And because I knew I was right, I refused to apologize and went to bed angrily. I said some few prayers, read a portion of the bible like I always do every night.
Few hours into my sleep, I met an old man as I walked on a slippery road in the dark hours of the night. He came close to me as I fight my way through the dark, hoping to see the light shine. From the way he spoke, it seemed like he knew me well. He asked what the matter was and why I was walking towards the direction I’m on.  I told him I had to come this way because everyone gets on my nerves and yet they don’t apologize; I narrated what happened and why I refused to apologize. He shook his head, looked at me and said slowly “What will it have cost you just to say you are sorry rather than get confused, infuriated and looking this way” I responded immediately that’’ I am not losing my way and I know exactly where I am coming from, I have forgotten about the issue but just doesn’t want her to know so she won’t take me for a fool. He looked at me surprisingly and said “You are a fool” Astonished! I looked at him angrily and asked how? He said “if only you realize what this little thing you did will cost you, then you will wish you went back and settle the matter immediately. I stood in shock; I don’t seem to understand what he is talking about. He gazed at me and said, come with me!

We walked a long way up unto a very high mountain, how I got there I can’t explain, he walked me down the left path I was walking before he met me, when we got to the end of the road, he asked me to look down, I saw a lot of people walking in the dark, moving towards a very big and wild fire and am like oh! My God, I never realized there will ever be such a great fire anywhere in this world. Some to this place, the entire place was dark, hot and unpleasant, it was so deep and so wide that I don’t think anyone can be there without feeling the impact of the fire. Immediately I screamed, surprised, is this for real? I said to myself, is this the hell fire everyone talks about? I started asking many questions at the same time, shaking, I sat down on the mountain with my head turned upside down, and I wondered if it was even working at this time. The man said to me, this is where you are heading if you choose to remain stubborn and adamant; I have only come to show you and make the journey easier for you, I fell to the ground, tears in my eyes and he said if you wish I can take you in at once. Immediately the tears dried up and all I was screaming was no! No! No! Please I promise never to be stubborn again or claim right I am okay at this spot, please take me away I don’t want to go, I don’t want to please. I held him and pleaded. I knew once he takes me there, there can never be a way of escape. The mountain is made of soft sand, so no way for anyone to climb and it was just too high and too deep. The flames are just too weird; people in it are not burnt. Different noise coming from different angles and a whole lot more are trekking down their way there. Curiously I asked, are these ones blind that they cannot see they are walking towards there death, he smiled again and said, they know but it is too late because they have already chosen their own path to eternity and that is exactly where you are heading if you won’t prepare your mind to change your ways and get yourself ready.
I told him I am a Christian, of course you know I am a chorister and I don’t keep gangs, I don’t do stuffs I do before anymore, so why will I want to come here, he said you don’t do what you usually do before again but you are still doing some things that are not biblical I responded back saying, yes I know but it is difficult he cuts in, if it proves to be difficult then you choose to live it difficult. Okay! Okay! I will change and I will totally desist from them all.  It’s time to go if you think you don’t like what you are seeing here, let me show you the way that leads to brighter day, he stretched out his hand towards the right side of where I stood and said “walk this path with me or otherwise without me which equally ends here, before he was done talking, I started moving with him as fast as my legs could take me.  Along the way, he disappeared but I kept on walking towards the right till I got to a road which was brighter and saw various people working, this place was different from where I was coming from. Just before the man disappeared, he told me some things like:

People are ignorantly walking in darkness, they always want to proof they are right, they don’t apologize and they often believe they are doing the right thing. Some knows that they are walking in darkness but voluntarily choose to remain there because they think Hell is a joke. Some choose when to be good and when to be bad and say to themselves, “God understand” of course he does! He exclaimed.

Now it is your duty to tell such people to change, to look back and see how long they have walked in darkness. Bring them in the marvelous light of the most high and say to them “there is no much time” he repeated this over and over again, you really need to hurry, there is no much time, please you need to, I wonder why he couldn’t just tell everyone himself so they can believe him, before I knew it, he was gone.

Those were his last words to me. I woke up hurriedly thinking I was already dead, i busted out crying, pleading, praying and asking God for mercy, when I realize after some few minute that I am still alive, I felt joy in my heart, I got off the bed and all I could utter was thank you God, I pleaded for mercy and immediately picked up my phone to send texts out to people I may have offended and vice versa. I remembered a guy I vow never to forgive due to what he did to me years back, I immediately went on my knees and pleaded for him and for myself, I released all I have tied down in anger in my heart and I was free again.
As Christians, this is a call for us all to check back on ourselves and repent of any evil in our heart that may cause us to loose Gods kingdom. The man in my dream asked me how the insult has affected me, he said when someone insults you, does it stops you from breathing? Does it scrap off your hair? Does it stop your blood from pumping into the heart? I uttered no. what does it do to you he asked, it makes me feel bad and annoyed and pissed I responded. He said if it doesn’t affect any of the things I gave you then it not worth pondering over it, just let go okay? He cuddled me on the side and said forget it! Don’t let the devil get you.
