IT MAY BE YOU
```IT MAY BE YOU!```
Taking the song "May be it's you" is not something new to me. That wasn't the first time singing it at a burial. The meaning remains whatever to my spirit, until I met an old man.
Old man: Over there! You could be the one in the casket.
Me: Me... me... me? Whhhyy? I stuttered trying to look at who was in the casket.
Old man: Of course, you! You're not better than him or are you? He asked without waiting for a response as he proceeds.
See, I know how much you all respected him. The accolades and honour, you all bestowed him. He was a great man, yes! Great in your sight, but, God do not know him!
Me: what do you mean by God do not know him? He was a key leader in the church. He's kind, gentle and generous! In fact, his kind is rare! How will you say, God do not know him? I argued as the man only shook his head.
Old man: Laughs! My people perish because of their ignorance! Let me show you something. He said as something like a picture came before us.
Me: That's Deacon! I said as the man asked me to keep quiet.
Deacon: If you don't want the job, then use the door. He said drawing one of the files before him to himself.
Lady: I really need this job sir, please sir, let this job be mine.
Deacon: Young lady, can't you get it? Having you once will not change anything or will it?
Lady: sir, I really can't do this sir. I'm engaged and I'm only here because I need money for my wedding. Please sir, don't let's do this. She pleaded almost on her knees.
Deacon: it's okay! Since you don't want the job, call the next person please! He said throwing his face away and the lady looked apologetically still.
Lady: ( she covers her mouth yawning) pleeaaase sir! She pleaded rubbing her eyes as she yawns.
Deacon: ( staring at the lady wildly as he had a smirk on his face) I even think you're more than this! He said laughing hysterically as he moves towards the door to lock it.
Me: Ah! He drugged her to sex her? I asked the man besides me as he nodded affirmatively.
I never knew Deacon was a man like this. He has a beautiful wife and he preached against adultery almost Everytime in the church, not knowing he also indulge in the act.
Old man: What are you doing? Are you also free from this? Don't you go about defiling young ladies in and outside the church? Sister Esther's death was caused by what? Were you not the one who impregnated her? She aborted it and died, weren't you the one responsible for the pregnancy?
He asked as I fidget in fears. You can't talk? You're here judging Deacon, are you in anyway better?
The tithe and offering you were asked to save to church's account, it should be 1.5million but you saved 1million,where has the Five hundred thousand gone to?
Me: erm...erm.. erm! I borrowed the 500k,I will surely pay it back.
Old man: Borrow? The previous ones you've spent on local guns, cigarettes and your concubines, how do you intend to pay them back? He asked as I couldn't found an excuse. I looked around to see if others were seeing him too, but I was the only one seeing him.
Me: Sir;! See those people wearing black, they're carrying Deacon! Where are they taking him too? I asked frightened.
Old man: Hell! That's where they're taking him to! I told you that his works and services are not recognised by God! They're burnt! So is yours too! Your name is not written in the BOOk OF LIFE. You don't have a part in Heaven! You're only occupied with all these unrecognized services. You heart is hardened! You always fight your wife and keep grudges with your neighbor!
Your children, look at them! Wayward and disobedient to God! You never trained them in the Lord's way. You spend almost all your time in the bosom of strange women. You go about proclaiming to be a child of God, but you never had connection with heaven.
YOU WERE NEVER BORN AGAIN! He said sternly as his words echoed in my ears.
Me: (crying) You know everything! Please help me! I don't want to spend eternity with the devil! I don't want to go to HELL
Old man: see, he said pointing to my body on the floor. People were lamenting as everyone now abandoned Deacon's body to see who fell on the stage.
Me: ( fearful) That's me! Am I dead? They're crying! Am I dead? I asked with hot tears gushing out of my eyes.
Old man: That's your body! You should die today, but the Lord of mercy just pardoned you and want you to see this and tell others that " HELL IS REAL AS HEAVEN" Go and amend your ways!
REPENT!!! The day draws nigh! The OLD CROSS will receive you! You salvation lies there! He said as he disappeared.
Me: (screaming) I don't want to go to HELL! Hell is not for me! I cried as I jumped from the floor.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard what I said.
Pastor: You don't want to go to hell?
Me: yes daddy! I saw a man. He told me my name is not in the book of life. He said many of us will miss Heaven! He said most of us are "playing church". Daddy, please don't go to hell! It's terrible over there! People are not dying, neither is the fire!
Everyone! Make sure you're genuinely saved and your name in the book of life.
IT MAY BE YOU OR ME, THAT WILL BE THE NEXT TO FACE ETERNITY!
ARE YOU READY?
IS YOUR NAME STILL IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and try dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosever was not be found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" ( Revelation 20:11-13,15)
BELOVED, MAY THE LORD KEEP US READY!
