A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion (prayer) in the Lord’s house (church). He got dressed, set on his way to the Lord’s house.

On his way to the church, the man fell and his clothes got dirty.  He got up, brushed himself up, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to the Lord’s house.

On his way to the church, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes and was on his way to the Lord’s house.

On his way to the church, he met a man holding a lamp.  He asked the man of his identity and the man replied ‘I saw you fall twice on your way to the church, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way. The first man thanked him profusely and the two went on their way to the church…

Once at the church, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray with him.

The second man refused.

The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same.

The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray.

The man replied, ‘I am Satan’. The man was shocked at this reply.

Satan went on to explain, ‘I saw you on your way to the Church and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on our way to the church, God forgave all of your sins.

I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to Church. Because of that, God forgave all the sins of the people of your household.

I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then God will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the house of God (Church) safely.’

Do not put off the good you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good. For your righteousness can save your family and nation at large.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)

“Yes Lord, now I have everybody captive,
well nearly everybody down there.
I set put traps, I used the baits of temptation,
I know well what each one of them can’t resist.
I nearly caught them all!” (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)

“What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.
and He was praying to God the Father.

Satan answered “Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!”

I’ll make them divorce after they have married
so the foundation of humanity will never be established
“the family” (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16)

I will make them hate each other and abuse each other,
make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)

I will teach them to make weapons and bombs,
so they kill each other

“I am really going to have fun!”

“And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?”
Jesus asked. And continued praying

“Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever”
Lord by all respect, it’s their decision.(I Jn 3: 8-10)

“How much do you want for all of them?” Jesus asked.

“Oh, you can’t want these people. They aren’t anything good.
Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you?
Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you.”
“What’s more, they love me a lot” (Mt 24: 10-13)

“You don’t want these people!”

“How much?” Jesus asked again

Satan looked at him with a nasty face

“All your tears and all your blood,
all the pain of the entire world, all together” (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)

Jesus said…”DONE”

“and He paid the price” (II Cor 5: 21)

How terrible it is that people don’t seek for God,
and then ask themselves why the world is going to hell!

How terrible that we seek the newspaper everyday to read tragedies
and we never seek the Bible

How insensible it is how everybody wants to go to heaven,
thinking they can get there without having to believe,
without loving God above all things,
or doing what the Bible says…the Laws of God.

Is it not terrible how some people can say “I believe in God”
but still follow Satan (Who as matter of fact, does fear God)
(II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1: 7-11)

Don’t you think it’s pathetic how they send
each other thousands of jokes by email,
so they spread like plagues.

But when it’s about the Lord’s messages,
we think about it twice before we share them;
and we leave the mailboxes of our friends without this message

Don’t you think it is outrageous that the obscene,
vulgar and crude is allowed freely to pass through the internet
that even many people would desire to get into the screen.

But it is forbidden to speak publicly about Jesus
in the schools, places of work
self-helping groups, etc… (Acts 4: 19-20)

Even after knowing what He did for us.
Because the Romans didn’t kill Him. It was our sin.
that we may be forgiven
and know Him in His glory with the Father.

Doesn’t it seem incredible to you how somebody can be alight
on Sunday in the Church,
worshipping and thanking the Lord for His mercy,
for one more day to live etc.

But during the rest of the week he is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3: 1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)

Does this seem just to you?

Don’t let Satan stop you sending this Mail
to all your contacts on the Web,
It doesn’t matter if he tells you that many don’t believe this
Don’t let him get through with his plans!

Stop worrying what the others may think about you
It is time to worry about what “God thinks about you”

May God bless you always (II Cor 13: 13)
