The Judgment
As l opened the door to my room, stepped in, and shut it behind me, I felt a gentle breeze blew in my face and, suddenly, I felt extremely weak and totally devoid of any strength. I barely managed to lie on my bed and gave up the ghost right there.
I noticed that my soul left my body, and it was then that it dawned on me that I was dead. I found myself on a broad road filled with many people who, like me, had just died. No one spoke to anyone; everyone on that road just moved ahead quietly, controlled by some unseen forces.
There was a multitude on that road, too large to be numbered! Yet more and more souls of the dead from the earth kept joining that throng.
Far ahead in the distance I could see that the road was split into two; the road to the left was wide, and
almost all of this multitude of souls went that in that direction of the road as they approached that junction; but the road to the right was just a very narrow way, and no one seemed to want to take that path. As an enlightened Christian, I recognized those roads as the broad and the narrow way, which the Lord, Jesus Christ, taught about in the Gospel.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in there at:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it”. Matthew 7;13,4 K.J.K.
I thought that all those people following the broad road were foolish for not choosing to follow the narrow way to heaven, so l determined in my heart that I would follow the narrow way when I reach that junction where the road was separated.When I eventually got there, however, I discovered that my legs seemed to have a will of their own; they would not obey the impulse of my will to go in the direction of the narrow way to heaven. I tried with all my strength to will them in that direction, even by leaning heavily with my body towards that direction, but I could feel that a greater force just took hold of my soul and veered my legs into the broad road that led to hell fire, and to eternal torment! That road just descended into a dark and foreboding region with so much heat coming from that direction.
At this point, as I progressed in the direction of help fire, every word from the Holy Bible began to come into my mind and I could hear them clearly as though someone was reading them very loud to me: my judgment had begun!
Every sin I had committed came into clear consciousness and the word from the Holy Bible that forbids and condemns each of those sins was read out loud to me, at the end of which l was asked if I was guilty of the sin or not. Of course I pleaded guilty to them all because I knew that I had committed those sins.There was nothing like an argument or a plea for mercy. All the while, as the judgment continued, I was approaching the pit of hell fire with its searing heat blowing all over me. It was evident that every one of those multitude of souls was passing through the same judgment. I could see the people ahead of me falling into that horrible pit of hell, yet none of them had the power to tum back in retreat, or even to halt at all.They just kept falling into the pit of hell!
As I approached the precipice of that pit, I thought it was all over for me but, just as that dreadful force was about to plunge me head long into that fiery pit, I heard a loud voice say “stop!” , and immediately my feet got stuck to the ground and my soul came to an abrupt halt at the very edge of hell fire, while the rest of those army of lost souls still move past me. I watched with horror as that unending multitude kept falling head long into that fiery pit all around me. I could also see the liquid fire of hell, like a raging storm at sea, tossing the millions of lost souls within its confines, and their cries of pain and agony were so horrible and unbearable to hear.
Jesus began to speak to me, calling me by my name. He asked me to see where I had chosen to spend my life at last. I just stood there unable to say or do anything – not even to plead for forgiveness, yet I was passing through a hell of torment just being there! I was totally at the mercy of that unseen power controlling the damned souls of sinners.
Then the unthinkable happened: Jesus said He was going to give me a second chance to come back to life in earth and start my life all over again. He warned me that the 36 years I had wasted in my first lifetime were all that God had allotted to me, so I would be returning to earth for an unspecified grace period of time, which could end at anytime. He made it clear that my next life was not mine any more, but a grace period I was to live in doing God’s will.
After He was done talking to me that dreadful force resumed its control of my soul and started moving me backwards from the edge of hell.
The above is my own brief narration of the Life From Death experience of Evangelist James Agboola, which he shared with us at a Christian gathering some years ago. However, it could be your own personal experience
someday in the future, too, unless you repent of your sins, give your life to Jesus Christ and accept to live for Him as your Lord and personal Saviour.
“He that believeth on him ( Jesus Christ) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”.
John 3:18,19. KJV.
You must know that there’s a judgment day coming! Everyone who ever lived on earth must be judged someday. For some, that judgment is already done with, while some are currently passing through it as you read this message; it is just a question of time for every one of us still alive until.we face God’s judgment.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things
done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” 2 Corinthians 5:10.11. KJ.V.
Your life, as you presently are living it, is preparing your soul for an eternal existence, which will begin either with a joyful song at the entrance to heaven, or with an agonizing wail as you take that final plunge to eternal hell; it is your decision to make right now!
God’s judgment is impartial: we shall each receive what we deserve from Him. Some people are so hardened in their sinful pursuits that they do not have the time to stop and think of their inevitable day of judgment, let alone to repent and seek for God’s mercy and forgiveness. Others have simply persuaded themselves to believe that there would be no such day of judgment after death at all, because they think that God doesnt seem to care to restrain anyone from sinning at the present moment.
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of
men is fully set in them to do evil”. Ecclesiastes 8:1 KJV.
Man’s unbelief or impiety will not change anything: Judgment is certain! Within just a few moment of time at the Judgment seat of Christ, and the most arrogant sinner’s heart would melt in repentance, but to no avail!
A few moments at the Judgment and the staunchest of unbelievers would have no doubts or arguments left to take comfort in anymore! No one argues at the Judgment seat of Christ: they simply answer to His just verdict. There would be no trials but only a Judgment because we are each of us already on trial from our first days on earth to the moment we cease to breathe.
You are presently on trial as you read this message, so what will you do with Jesus Christ now? Your decision will determine your Judgment someday, may be sooner than you think!
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the
whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into Judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”. Ecclesiastes 12:13.14. K.J.V.
If you want to give up your sinful life now, and are willing to invite Jesus Christ to come and save you from the bondage of Satan then go on ahead in simple faith, and talk to Him in prayer about it right where you are. God’s word, the Holy Bible, promises that if we confess our sins, and are willing forsake them, God who is faithful and just, will forgive us all our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. See 1John 1:9 and Proverbs 28:13 KJV.
If you want to live forever someday in heaven with Jesus Christ, that is the decision to make now!
