I wonder
#1
It's easier for one to say 'I belong to Jesus, heaven is mine' and everyother positive proffesions. I read the testimony of Funmilayo, on this forum. At a place where she told of a woman that almost entered heaven having been shown her crown, estate and the angels that will serve her. But didn't because she was putting on tiny earings and thought it didn't matter. Indeed, ignorant is not an excuse. But I believe God already knows who will and who will not make heaven.


It will be so unfair of God that I deny myself so many good things on this earth only to be condenmed at last.

Grace! That woman, according to the testimony, converted five hundred souls.

God could have alerted her of that one thing that would make her lose her soul-the tiny earings. Even if she was told but refused to listen, did God not say He will make a heart of stone to become a heart of flesh?

That the heart of king is in His hands?

Yes He gave us free will and would not interfer with that,

am I to conclude that there are those created to be used only to be discarded at last?

This woman funmilayo has this grace to be converted and to share her testimonies. But I bet there are still many like her who would probably be damed if not already. Grace!. How sure then am I that am not being used?

How do I know I have this gace to make heaven? What will be my fate at last,


my persistence and keeping-faith not withstanding. I have really been thinking about this.
Is it going to be time wasted at last?
It is written 'He hardened Pharoa's heart' that means he probably would have let go but because God wanted to manifest His glory. Looking at how my life is going, I just continue to wonder. This is what I understand God to be doing with me 'putting sweets into my mouth and taking it back just when am about to smile at having tasted the sweets'. My spiritual life is like Nigerian power supply. No matter how hard I pray, how hard I try. I just feel like He has kept me and just remembers me so I don't say He forgot me.

And I try to keep away from sin just because I don't want to offend him and miss heaven. Maybe I should just choose the one I think am sure of and accept open heartedly the fruit at the end. My opinion.

Gracefilled, Your questions seem genuine but your your mind set from which you wrote them is quite negative/wrong,and indeed were conceived out of great fear.

Infact, as I was reading through the message the lord spoke to me about you, your weaknesses, strength and few things about your personality.
That,i won't talk about now so save time and energy for these mind burgling (indirect)questions of yours.

Be that as it may, I will answer each questions accordingly and in line with each embolded back up with bible verses :

Now, watch out for the embolded as I answer them one by one.


Bold 1 : I say No. He doesn't but used to.
He used to from the day of Adam and Eve as God purpose for man was to experience heaven on earth : joy,life and blessing et al and live forever but the devil came in form of a serpent and robbed man of that grace given to man.

Bible ref :

Genesis :

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.



...15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely "DIE"

Chapter 3

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, ..


Immediately Adam and Eve ate the fruit, the bible made us to understand that they became a living dead(HELL was established here not the usual death) and their eyes were cleared/opened,they were able to identified what's EVIL and what is GOOD and have total control over their minds/choices.

Here, even you confirmed that as well, and I quote you :

That the heart of king is in His hands?
Yes He gave us free will and would not interfer with that,


But God, having realised that we were under condemnation and had just a choice and there was no saviour to destroy that curse/death inherited from Adam and Eve he sent his only son :

◄ John 3:16 ►
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


Now, from the above bible verse(John) we were made to understand that by accepting jesus as our personal lord and savour the curse(DEATH) was destroyed, but mind you?the power to choose between or know between Good & Evil was left to us.
All these is to let you know that, you can either choose heaven or Hell and ofcourse God can not decide your choice. That's to say,he's left it to us to decide between Heaven or HELL.
From these one should be able to conclude that indeed God can not determine who does or who doesn't make heaven. We have that choice to make not God-even though some are save by Grace that doesn't guarantee that their crown will be worthy or have more stars that these that endure.



2. If your purpose/reason for following God is to make heaven,endure or force your to accept his words :dos and donts?

Then you are not really prepare to be with the lord because these things should be done Base on love for God, his righteousness, kingdom/presence and fear.

Any short of these are nothing but pain and force.
It must come with love and great desire for the things of the holy spirit and righteousness.
If you want to make heaven? You must dispose that mind set asap before its too late.

◄ 1 John 4:4 ►
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.


Meaning, you must overcome the desires of the flesh/world not by force or for heaven sake but for love and the fear,love for the things of God.

To be continue at dawn..
Bless you.

"...He doesn't but used to"? And.."He is God and changeth not" Good attempt and your own opinion! But am sorry to say, you don't understand a thing. Maybe He has chosen you and someother persons. He surrounded me with battles and hardships that I might know His power. His power have I known yet, where am I today? I didn't start praying today, I didn't just start asking, yet, here am I, oneday ON, OFF for months. He will only do as He wishes. Is He not king, Lord and God? If He won't help me keep steady, if He won't answer that which I have been asking of Him, then, He is just answering me for answering sake! Am just confused and tired!

Gracefilled,

There is more to life than your expectations and wants from God if not, there won't be life after death-hence to witness the full presence of God, power and experience is undiluted love you need to accept jesus and love him with all your heart. Your reasons/desire to follow God must go beyond your expectations on earth else you will continue to miss the point and his purpose for you life.




And yes, I meant that and I won't change what I wrote as per " he used to but doesn't ".

That context simply means :

When God make a covenant with you its a must you keep your part of the bargain by making sure you follow the " dos and donts" lest the lord will withdraw his grace. That was why I used context of "Adam and Eve" experience as illustration.

God purpose for the children of Israel was to enter the promise land in or within 40days but the children of Israel rebelled against God of moses, they taunted him and even wished they never left the land of Egypt. Hence, the lord was provoked and the journey that 40days extended to 40years. You must learn from this and desist from threading such path.

You are not the first and won't be last with overwhelming battles but with their persistence and faith they were able to overcome theirs and testified at last.


No. God didn't and doesn't surround you with battles. He's not a wicked God it's the devil and the powers of darkness -mind you nobody is devoid of these battles not even men of God.
I used to go half blind and had countless battles.

I repeat God don't change but remember that he honours his words more than his name. So therefore, don't expect God to keep his covenant with you(not to change) when you fall short of his glory through sin or pride.

If God withdraw his presence from you, just for a second? You won't live to test the story because he's the reason why you breath,live...

You can type with your fingers, you have eyes to see..have you ever sit for a second and ponder about those who doesn't have all these?

Go ahead. Ask God to withdraw his presence for a day then you will know there is hell on earth.

You need come out and explain what you mean by " one day ON, one month OFF". ?


Above all, I believe you need spiritual re-orientation and counselling.

You can add me on whassap or give me a call in an hours time(thats if you want)

But note : don't call nor add me if you are not ready to humble yourself before God, follow instructions and specify exactly what you want from God.

God can't be mock.

I may have to discontinue from where I stopped yesterday.



Bless you.

The more I pray the more things toughen. I would have to shout at God at times and quickly He answers me. But when am about to smile, the door seems to close again. I know how it is with me.

I AM SORRY. I neither meant to get you angry nor mock God.

Bless you too.

2. I noticed that no matter how long ones dreams my be, there is usually just a specific message. You often don't write things concerning the environment, persons involved, attire/appearances. Do these no matter?
