My dearly beloved in the Lord,
In
hell the rich man was in torments and he cried out to Father
Abraham, “Have pity and mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip
of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in
this flame.” (Luke 16:24)
Many people to whom you talk about hell or heaven will brush aside
the conversation. They will tell you that they don’t believe in it.
But the fact is that whether they believe or not it is real. You may
be laughed at, scoffed and sneered when you tell them about Jesus
and heaven and hell. They laughed, scoffed and sneered at Jesus and
surely they will do so to you His follower too but don’t let this
discourage you. Go on with greater determination for the devil
doesn’t want anyone to be saved but wants all to perish in hell.
You
are the instrument who will bring the message of the truth to those
around you. Maybe they will not hear the message then but pray
unceasingly that the Holy Spirit will stir up their hearts with the
words that you had told them of and they will not rest until they
have opened their hearts to the Lord. There is no time left now.
Even this very moment many thousands are going down to hell. You and
I need to bring the truth of the gospel to these dying and
perishing.
The
rich man in Luke 16:27-28 pleaded with Father Abraham, “Father I
beseech you to send him (Lazarus) to my Father’s house-for I have
five brothers-so that he (Lazarus) may give testimony and warn them,
lest they too come into this place of torment…” From hell the rich
man had a burden for his brothers-that they should hear the
testimony and be saved and not go to hell.
Beloved, how about you? If you don’t tell who will? There are many
brothers and sisters who will be going to hell if you fail to tell
them about Jesus.
Rise beloved while there is time.
Pick up your Bible! Go to the battle field! Sow the seed. Preach the
word. Day and night!
Tell them about sin (Rom 3:23), forgiveness of sin (1 John 1:9), to
forsake their sins (Prov 28:13), God’s love for us all in sending
Jesus to die for all our sins (John 3:16), pray with them asking
Jesus into their hearts to be the Saviour and Lord of their lives.
Bring them to church where they can feed the word of God and grow
more in the Lord.
Your neighbour, Your friend, Your spouse, Your children, Your
parents, Your colleagues, all those around you need to hear from
you. Boldly declare your testimony. Do not be ashamed to tell them
about Jesus. What you do will benefit them for all eternity.
In His love,
Sister Elizabeth Daniel
