Why You Need To Repent Now!

“Once again a message came to me from the Lord: “Son of man, give your people this message: ‘When I bring an army (problems, difficult situations etc) against a country (people, individual, organizations, family, etc), the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watch-man. When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die” Ezekiel 33: 1-4

Please listen to this, I am a servant of God sent to you to warn you of an impeding danger, please don’t because of pride refuse to read this, don’t say you know it all, please listen to words of caution from the Almighty God and change now!

God always chooses a man to use as His prophet when there are grievous situations, it doesn’t matter the person’s background or what he had done in the past, God chooses to use whoever pleases him. He used Paul who was formerly Saul, a persecutor of the Believers to bring many people to Him. He is asking me to warn you of an impeding danger today so that you will repent of your sins and be saved. 

“They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives” Ezekiel 33: 5.

You know when killers or murderers are coming to attack you and you are hinted on time, you will escape before they come, but if you say, what can they do, or you say the person who hinted you is a liar and they eventually come, you will be killed. This is what God is saying here.

“But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths” Ezekiel 33: 6

So why I am so bothered to tell you to repent of your sins is because if you die in your sins and I have not warned you when God has sent me to you, then God will require your blood from me, that is why I am warning you, not that I have any personal interest in the way you live your life! 

“If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself” Ezekiel 33: 8-9

“As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! (Everyone reading this). Why should you die?” Ezekiel 33: 11

God is sending me to you this morning to warn you of an impeding danger, he said you should amend your ways now before it is too late. It doesn’t matter if you were doing good before and you start being bad, He said you will in your sin if you don’t change now.

“Son of man, give your people this message: The righteousness behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins. When I tell righteous people that they will live, but then they sin, expecting their past righteous acts will be remembered. I will destroy them for their sins. And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right. For instance, they might give back a debtor’s security, return what they have stolen, and obey my life-giving laws, no longer doing what is evil. If they do this, then they will surely live and not die. None of their past sins will be brought up again, for they have done what is just and right, and they will truly live” Ezekiel 33: 12- 16

Don’t start asking God questions like so many have asked me; they believe only in the prosperity message. Many have been fooled by their pastors to believe that because Jesus died for our sins then they can go on sinning and have no repercussions for their sins. A prostitute was arguing with me about God, saying Jesus has taking away her sins and even though she sleeps with men for money she is saved. What a pity!

“Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right. For again I say, when righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and turn to evil, they will die. But if wicked people turn from their wickedness and do what is just and right, they will live. O people of Israel (Nigerians, people of this world), you are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right. ‘But I judge each of you according to your deeds.” Ezekiel 33: 17-20

I am not bothered about what you think of me when I come to preach the word of God to you, if you like believe it, if you like don’t believe it, you will know that God is real with time when He deals with you.

“Son of man, your people talk about you in their houses and whisper about you at the doors. They say to each other, ‘Come on, lets go hear the prophet tell us what the Lord is saying!’ So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money. You are very entertaining to them, like someone who sings love songs with beautiful voice or plays fine music on an instrument. They hear what you say, but they don’t act on it! But when all these terrible things happen to them- as they certainly will-then they will know a prophet has been among them.” Ezekiel 33: 30- 33

If you have read this up to this point, that means that God really wants to use you. If you have not repented of your sins or you are still living in sin, it is time for you to repent now, repent before it is too late, no one can do it for you, no pastor, prophet can save you. You alone is capable of helping yourself by doing the things God ask you to do. Repent today and be saved. Repent today before it is too late
