Imagine if Adolf Hitler got saved( Converted)before he thought of becoming the leader of his country, we couldn't have had the second world war, and the millions of lives lost could have been preserved.
Imagine if Osama Bin Laden got saved ( Converted) while doing business in Somalia, we couldn't have had al-Qaeda.
If every armed robber, terrorist, ritualist, corrupt politicians and the people who could turn your city and nation into an abyss of misery, pains, and death got saved, do you know you would start sleeping with your windows opened without fear?
Remember the man Paul of Tarsus; he went about hunting down believers of the Way. He arrested some and consented in the death of others, but when he met with Christ on this way to Damascus, everything changed about him. His conversion gave the believers a period of rest.
Imagine the deaths Paul alone could have caused if he never got saved! I know you may be wondering where I am heading. Permit me to tell us all the truth. Most of the calamities brought to us by human beings could have been prevented if we were all working towards the goal of getting people genuinely converted.
Thank God for all the positive ways via which humanity is striving to make the world a better place, but all these will be activities in futility if at the end of the day human hearts are not converted. When Zacchaeus met with Christ, those he was robbing by inflating their taxes had rest.
Some years back through my ministry, a young man who terrorized his neighborhood, and no one was safe passing through the streets as from 9:00 pm with their money and hand belongings, but when he got converted, the entire neighborhood could sleep well. People began moving freely even passed midnight in the same neighborhood because the man behind their insecurity got "arrested" by Christ.
Listen, life is interrelated and wholesomely interconnected with God at the center, but most of us don't know this fact. So, we pursue our agendas with our heads to the ground bothering less about actively participating in supporting the propagation of the gospel of Christ. The guys responsible for the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka were middle-class youths, but because they weren't saved, see the deaths they caused in one day.
Listen to this blunt truth, the rapist, robber, mass killer and terrorist keeping everyone indoors may be as a result of our failure to support the God-ordained programs, which could have converted them. I know I am casting out demons!
Some of you want to be safe in an unsaved world; I pity you. If we wish for safety, all hands must be on deck to spread the gospel.
Some Nigerian preachers are competing now to acquire jet planes to join the club of Jet plane owners in a time when every naira was supposed to be invested in rescuing Nigeria. I know blind religious surrogates will pick up stones to stone me for saying this, go ahead! A day is coming in no distant future when they will not be able to fly in or out of Nigeria because the nation will be vomiting its inhabitance. Isaiah 6:8-12
Cathedrals deserted and their Christians scattered in search for refuge in neighboring countries. The "demons" they have refused to convert will be after their lives and establishments. I am not a prophet of doom, but I see! If this would be prevented, someone must cry aloud to awaken the leadership of the church in Nigeria from Coma. I don't just speak! Everything happening in Cameroon today, I started crying out as from 2003, but some people thought I was doing my private business. Today, what could have been prevented has taken people out of their comfort.
The gospel of the kingdom, bringing genuine conversion of hearts and souls is the only way society can know true peace and stability. It is time to invest now in the transformation of the person who might be your killer, rapist, suicide bomber, if not saved.
If you keep doing business in Sodom without working for the conversion of the city, on the day of its doom, you will be rendered a refugee whether you are a believer, bishop or not. The wise will understand!
