Why Majority
Are Not Entering The Kingdom
By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze
The Reasons
- Self-Righteousness
Everybody counts himself a righteous person. He considers himself worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven without knowing and practising the truth. Nobody can enter the kingdom by self-righteousness. The way is narrow and sacrifice is great. Pray the Holy Spirit to take you home, so that you reach there soon and comfortably.
- People Are Not Zealous Enough
People are accustomed to habit. They find it hard to accept corrections. They prefer to continue with their old ways of doing things, which has become part of them. The worst are the men who suppose to lead their various families in spiritual efforts. They prefer to be left alone and undisturbed, without knowing that the Devil has already put many people in his net.
- People Have No Time For God
Even the believers do not know what it means to love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your time and with all your life. Many claim to be Christians, but deny God by their actions.
- Refusal To Learn The Truth
People prefer to continue in their old ways of doing things. Therefore, they refuse to learn the truth. I have heard so many preachings and sermons. Most of these teachings lack spiritual contents. Of what use is plenty food when the food is lacking salt?
After several heavenly visits and spiritual encounters, I am bold to say that all, including reverend ministers, have to re-learn. This is the truth. For the time being, many are just playing out their intoxication. How can you claim to be teaching or practising the truth when you do not know the truth?
- Customs And Traditions
As deceptive as customs and traditions. In the eyes of the world, the customs and traditions appear to keep the society peaceful and stable. But in spirits, they are the very strings that tie people down, and prevent them from ascending to the heavens.
- Many Are Blind
Blindness means ignorance. That is what is called darkness in the sacred texts. Children of God do not know the things they should know, and therefore, do not do the things that they should do. When you know the truth, you shall know the right things to do. For now, majority are just like the foolish student who fills his examnation sheets with useless points.
- Spiritual Bondage
The evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts and black energies discourage people from making the right spiritual efforts. That is why many people, especially among the men and youths, do not pray. Among those that do pray, many feel weak or fall asleep whenever it is time to pray. The evil spirits not only discourage people from doing the right things, they also bind people in order to disable them. It is quite unfortunate that majority do not know that a terrible war by the Kingdom of Darkness is raging on against humanity.
- Misleading Churches
Several churches do not teach the truth because they do not know the truth. They do not know that several commandments of God have been turned upside down. Every true minister of God must pray earnestly to have spiritual experience or learn from somebody who actually knows the truth. At present, many believers are like the little child who goes about the city boasting and counting every car as his father's car. The child cannot distiquish between what is good and what is bad.
- Ignorant Religious Leaders
This is a serious problem. Many religious leaders are teaching the figments of imagination, the fabrications of falsehood and the deceptions of the enemy. That is why Jesus called them blind leaders leading blind multitudes.
- Spiritual Indolence
Indolence means laziness. People want to go to heaven, but are not making the right efforts to enter heaven. The evil spirits keep people everyday busy with biosterous activities, the very thing that prevent people from entering the gate of heaven. There is no time for quiet times and meditation.
- So Many Snares On The Way
The Devil and his agents know humanity more than the humanity know themselves. Besides, the enemies of God and man are always busy putting snares on the road to salvation. Majority do not know when the evil spirits entice them away from the true path. Examples of the snares are indecent dressing, noisy music, hypocrisy (deceit, cheating), fame, praises, quick money, etc.
- Worldly Pleasures
Out of ignorance and passion, majority want to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit, but are instead busy everyday trouping after the Devil.
- Self-Restrictions
Self-restrictions are the limitations imposed on oneself. Examples include refusal to hear from a person who is not from the same church and inability to invetsigate church beliefs and practices.
- Many Are Playing Hypocrites, Without Knowing It.
People claim to love and worship God, but do not have time for God. They turn away from doing the right thing. Even those who regularly attend worship, turn down the teachings, without knowing it.
- Disobedience To The Holy Spirit
This is refusal to listen to the Holy Spirit. Before, many consider their dreams, visions, trances and messages as figments of imagination and as such irrelevant. However, everyday happenings have over the years proved that dreams, visions, trances and messages are natural and real.
- Wrong Assumptions, Especially By Men
Most of the men assume that things are all right. They do not believe in demonic possessions and manipulations, witch craft, charms, etc. This disposition of the men gives the evil spirits the chance and opportunities to have a free day. They continue to destroy the lives and fortunes of children of God. They succeed because the men who should lead in the war against forces of darkness are lazy, insensitive and blind to the realities of life. They do not know that a terrible war is raging on against humanity.
- People Do Not Know How To Love God
People love God, but do not know how to love God. People seek God, but are wrongly seeking Him where He is not. Some of the religious leaders who are in the position to lead do not know the truth, and therefore, cannot teach the truth.
- Popular Trends
The fashions and trends make people stray from the path of truth, even when they do not want to. Such devilish trends include wearing of black dresses, black robes, black eye glasses; pagan festivals, masquerades, tattoos, sexy music, indecent dressing, biosterious social occasions, business tricks, stinginess, cults, harmful games and sports like boxing and wrestling, which are demonic activities in the hell fire, etc.
- Deceptions Of The Enemy
The kingdoms of darkness are everyday planning and carrying out various strategies to push and pull people into the hell fire. Before, people did not know that such a thing was happening. Today, God has put in place various deliverance ministries to help people save themselves.
- Spiritual Possession And Manipulations
When the evil spirits take possession of people, people do not usually know that they are being manipulated. All because the evil spirits come uninvited, arrive unnoticed, stay undetected and wreck havoc unrelentingly.
- Ignorance Of Self
Majority of humanity do not know what they are, that they are spirit beings. Children of God do not know the victorious powers and excellent talents that God has given them and how to use those powers. They prefer to be doing things like blind beggars, who are also impotent.
- Wrong Perceptions
These include wrong interpretations, false assumptions, false beliefs, blind faith, man-made doctrines, etc. Currently, what many call faith is nothing but stubbornness.
- Bad Thoughts
All evil things begin as thoughts in the heart of the perpetrators. In other words, the seeds of bad deeds are the evil thoughts that originate them. This is one secret misleading those in the video industry. That evil committed in the films, which you say are not real, ordinary plays, are seeds of iniquities being sown. Acting is the foundation of action. Act only what is good.
- Vulgar Words
And there are so many vulgar words people say often, without knowing the consequences. Observe the home videos people watch everyday, the actors speak harshly. They claim to speak loud and clear, without knowing that the evil spirits are sowing the seeds of destruction in them. Harshness, even the least of it, is evil. Why not speak gently, peacefully and lovingly, like the Holy Spirit?
- Actions That Are Evil
Such evil actions include embezzling public funds. People in positions of authority and in the offices commit this evil without minding the consequences. They do not know that the light you see everyday is a spiritual video camera recording whatever a person does. There is no video record possible without the light.
- Forgotten Books Of Life
One of the major purposes of keeping records is for the children of God to read about the events of the past and learn from them. But majority are not ready to read the sacred texts, which are very important, juicy and powerful books of life. They prefer to give uncountable reasons why such books should not be read.
The enemy continues to deceive them. Devil knows that once people read books, they will know the truth. When people know the truth, the Devil will no longer be able to mislead or manipulate people. The only power Satan has over people is their ignorance of the truth.
- Religious Bondage
In the churches, church leaders are more interested in keeping members than in the members searching and finding the truth. They encourage people to remain ordinary members of the church, instead of being earnest seekers of the truth. Every religious leader must become like the door. The aim of the door is to allow people to pass through, to come in and to go out, and not to hold people captives. When members come to your chuch, welcome them; and when they leave your church, bless them and hand them over to the Holy Spirit. The very thing Jesus did, when He was about to leave the world. Stop clinging to your church and members.
- Man-made Doctrines
Unknown to the pubic, many of the teachings and commandments of God have been turned upside down. Today, many are, heedlessly, straying away from God without knowing it. What many call faith is nothing but stubbornness.
- Worldly Consciousness
Everyday, people are more interested in the cares and worries of life. They run about to make both ends meet, to attend to the issues of everyday routine. Unknown to many, God has not called us to overlabour, but to succeed and prosper by trusting and obeying Him. People are more interested in building houses, getting married, going to places, becoming famous, etc to the neglect of our primary purpose in life. The primary purpose is to develop our God nature, by consistent God-consciousness and spiritual practice.
- Selfishness
God expects us to get rid of selfishness. Instead of doing that, people are everyday building up their ego (self and selfishness). Each is more interesting in amassing money and wealth for himself than in rendering selfless services. Most of the rich do not want the needy and poor to come to them for relief and assistance.
- Crimes And Vices
The young generations are constantly exposed to all forms of crime and vices on the home videos. A serious battle is going between the altar and the television. A youth spends a few hours in the church to learn about God and morality. Then the following six days are spent in watching countless videos on violence and crime. It is like the wise farmer who goes to the farm to plant good crops, only to have them replaced with bad crops planted by the enemy. The effect is clear and steady before us - everyday moral decadence. Every society reaps back whatever it programmes into her youths. This is one great secret of life.
- The Dragon, The Ancient Serpent
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
John 10:10
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
John 8:44-45
- Disabling Environment
In terms of economic activities, we talk of business-friendly environment, investor-friendly environment, customer-friendly relations, etc. All these terms are good. The real problem is that we are everyday disabling our environments by making them hostile to spiritual growth. There is so much noise in the streets. The music shops worsen the situation with their loud, booming and bombarding music. Nobody cares. Our relaxation parks are phasing out, and the existing ones are wrongly situated within city noise and traffic.
- Neglect Of Ancient Paths Of Life
All things have remained the same since the ancient times. The scientific laws, technological theories, economic principles, geographical realities, chemical properties, colour vibrations, the cycles of time, etc have remained the same. So where did man learn the belief that God’s laws are no longer valid, when the entire universe is maintained by natural laws of creation, which are perfect, unchanging and impartial.
16 Thus says the LORD:
"Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the old paths, where the good way is,
And walk in it;
Then you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
Jeremiah 6:16
- Beware Of Grudges
And Jesus said,
“Warn humanity to rid themselves of grudges,
if they want to enter heaven.”
Meaning Of Grudges
Bearing grudges means having a habit of complaining, nagging, unforgiving spirit, or forgiving but not forgetting. It includes living a life of cursing, criticizing and condemning others. Furthermore, it means having regrets, complaining before doing something, like murmuring before giving money or something to somebody who asked for it. A grudge is a self-inflicted discomfort, including lasting and hidden anger.
