WARNINGS THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED

Genesis 19:17
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Matthew 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Everything about this life is actually a race, for even your rest time is a race, WHY! We have limited time.

This is why passing on opportunities could be very disastrous, for what you are today is a function of what happened yesterday and what you will be tomorrow is a function if what you do today.

Most people pay deaf ears to valuable counsel and information, some to "detrimental fatality", we must understand true warnings, look at Lot's inlaws:

Genesis 19:12-14
Meanwhile, the angels questioned Lot. “Do you have any other relatives here in the city?” they asked. “Get them out of this place—your sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone else.
For we are about to destroy this city completely. The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the Lord, and He has sent us to destroy it.”
So Lot rushed out to tell his daughters’ fiancés, “Quick, get out of the city! The Lord is about to destroy it.” But the young men thought he was only joking.

How could they think that Lot was joking, was he a jester, or was he a little child? The truth was that they could not imagine letting go of the presumed luxury and worldly pleasure and riches they thought they had in Sodom and Gomorrah.

We cannot be comfortable with ignorance, we must stay informed that we may not get caught up in the errors of the wicked:

2Peter 3:17
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

Furthermore even when the angels dragged Lot and his immediate family out of destruction, Lot's wife still paid deaf ears to the angels' warning:

Genesis 19:17&26
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

It was clear Lot's wife's heart was buried in the luxury of Sodom and Gomorrah!

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

What is the Lord sending warning to you about that you have decided to ignore? Are you about to or already in an unhealthy relationship? Is there a business deal you are being cautioned about? Are you maltreating someone? Are you consumed with sin or pride? Are you intoxicated with acquiring wealth? What is it you are about to do He doesn't want you to do, or what is that thing He wants you to do and you are refusing to do? What could it be?

THE GREATEST WARNING TODAY IS NOT TO IGNORE THE SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS:

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Dear Father help us to discern the right warnings that we will not err like those who refused to listen and thus perished. Help us Good Lord. We need you everyday.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher
