Beyond Easter...
I remembered my primary school days
when teachers asked class prefects to
write names of talkatives. There was
this squad called 'odeyshi'; whenever
names of talkatives were being
written, that's when they made the
most noise.
This is because no matter how many
times or how hard you caned them
they would never scream or cry.
Their names were always at the top
and always had dp (double
punishment) or tp (triple punishment)
attached.
The serious ones on the other hand did
not really make noise but sometimes
just whispering to someone made
them find their names on the list of
talkatives .
When the teacher came for the list to
flog, those 'odeyshi'; knew
themselves so they would even not
wait till their names were mentioned.
As the teacher began to mention the
names the serious student would hear
his name and say "Oh Sir but i did not
talk?" Then the teacher would reply
"But how come your name is on the
list?"
So by all means the serious students
would be caned. It turns out that all
those who were jumping about and
disturbing end up being equal with
those who just whispered.
This is how the end is going to be.
Some people have signed contracts to
hell, so won't be surprised to see
themselves there. With this kind of
mentality they make sure they really
enjoy life before their death.
Beloved what about you? Would you go
to church, sing, dance, play
instruments, usher, pay huge offerings,
'kabee', 'kaboo' and 'kabaa' (blowing
tongues) only to find yourself in hell?
Don't let the little sin you could have
avoided lead you to hell...
Beyond Easter,
Forgive others their sins as God has
forgiven you. Make good use of your
days on earth so that you can give a
proper account to your maker.

As beautiful as this story seems,and not to be misunderstood as regards indulging in sin, this is not what salvation is. We are saved not because of what we do or don't do but because of what someone else has done . So a serious student who whispers and then got beaten is not the same with a believer who makes a mistake and then because of that ends up in hell as portrayed by your story. Ones a man believes the gospel he is saved and will never perish.
