FOR EVER YOUNG

I have heard of a land full of wonders.

 This land is located somewhere behind the blues.

In this land wonderful things never cease to flow.

One thing stands more spectacular in this place.

Here as I am told the people never grow old.

Their genetic configuration runs opposite to ours’.

Their chromosomes produce cells which tend to grow younger as their age increases.

This is too womderful to be true.

Their atmospheric condition is regulated to an optimal.

This keeps their skin cool and moist always.

There is no need for neither artificial nor plastic surgery.

Hence they never grow old and they never die.

The men there always look as if they are 30years old,

Except the generals of faith that grow white hairs but look young.

The women too always look like 22yr olds except the matriarchs.

These all add to the wonderful color of that glorious land.

Nothing in all our known world could ever compare to this.

I do not know what you think but as for me,

I will stop at nothing until I have searched out this land.

And then I would be one of her citizens no matter the cost.

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 4

We will now put scriptures together and come out with the answer to this question and mystery of the mark of the beast.

Rev 16:13-14

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, woring miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 5

The spirit of the antichrist is already at work and very many people have unknowingly aligned themselves with him to promote satanic agenda against GOD and man.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [2 Thessalonians 2:7]

The average man on earth mind does not incline towards GOD but rather tilts towards the mundane. One of the most important thing that affects the generality of men is money. Many men love to have money to a fault and it is therefore not a coincidence when the scripture stated:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 6

Had the condition or rather the penalty for refusal to accept this mark been hinged on any other facet of human endeavor it would have been easy to refuse accepting this mark. Let us say the scripture says: And any one who refused to accept the mark will not be allowed to receive an education, important as education is many people can still afford to do without having one.

But now let us be realistic, how does one survive for seven years without participating in an economic venture? How can a parent sit down and watch his family starve without doing something to provide them with food to eat? That period is the worst period of suffering and persecutions a man will ever experience on earth.

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 7

The Jews had been promised a Messiah. Prior to his coming will be an Elijah. Both the messiah and the Elijah came but they were not aware that Jesus was that messiah and John the Baptist was the Elijah that they so desperately wanted to see, so they killed them both.

Matt 17:13

13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

One of the hallmark of the Antichrist manifestation is the area of finance. With this weapon satan knows that he can control the minds and emotions of many mortals. From the physical point of view there is a very thin divide between the wealth that comes from GOD and the riches from Mammon. It takes spiritual discipline and very high level of maturity to distinguish between them.

WHERE WILL YOU GO FROM HERE?

    CHORUS: Where will you go? Go from here; go from here, where will you go from here? Ah ah, la la la. Go from here, go from here, where will you go from here?

    SOLO: I have heard in the stories, of a place up there, far above the earth in the celestal    shores. There will be no crying, there is no more weeping, there will be joy everlasting in that place. 

  

SOLO 2: Still in the same story, there is a place down here deep in the realms of darkness in the bowels of the earth. There is much weeping, there is much crying with sorrow everlasting in that place.

Where will you go, where will you go from here where will you go from on that day.

SOLO 3: But I have heard people saying there is no such thing as hell fire down in this earth or the universe. Still others are saying if there is any hell fire, I will put aircondition to cool me down. But they know not what they are saying: for there is no refridgerant that can cool down the conflagration in that place.

DECISION: Behold I set before you this day good and evil, life and death. But I counsel you to choose life that you might live.

Moses

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 1

The stage is now set for the distribution and reception of this wondrous mark of the beast. That there is a mark of the beast is a certainty and it is no longer the subject of controversy but what remains a mystery to many is this: How exactly will this mark be distributed and what is going to be people’s reaction to the reception of this mark?

Many of the presentations of the Bible are metaphoric in nature and should not be viewed literarily. Were we to assume that this mark of the beast is a physical application just like people put tattoos on their bodies, and then should we not be expecting something in the similitude of this format?

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 2

A grotesque looking beast appears before a man and makes his announcement as follows; I am the beast and I am here to issue you the mark 666 on your forehead or hands. Are you ready to receive it or not? What will the man’s response be like?

Surely nobody not even the worst sinner on the street will agree to receive such a mark. In a typical Nigerian setting, the response would look like this:

“What did you just say?”

“Are you deaf or are you also like the Mule which has no understanding? Well let me refresh your memory. I said I am the beast and I am here to issue you the mark 666. Are you ready to receive it or not?”

 

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 3

“I thought I didn’t hear you very well before, but now I am sure I did. Look at this face, don’t they respect faces in the place you are coming from?  Now listen to me and listen very good, if I ever see you in this compound again, in fact I bind you from entering this street. Now get out and let me never see you set foot on this territory again. Nonsense, why don’t you go and issue yourself the mark first?”

 And so saying the generality of men would rather rebuke the bast sternly and chase him away. So therefore this manner of approach will not work and the devil knows this so he has proposed in his heart to secretly make use of a different manner of approach but the LORD has revealed the secret thoughts of the devil’s heart to his servants the prophets however in a coded form which needs high level of wisdom to decipher the ciphered thoughts.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 1

The mark of the beast is one of the most popular phrases or slogans used by Christians. It is by far more popular than its opposite slogan: The mark of Christ. Almost everybody has heard about it but very few people know what this number really means and how it affects our lives for whether we like it or not this mark of the beast affects every human being that lives on earth.

We shall now take a journey of exploration into the world of this wonderful phenomenon called THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 2

Rev 13:15-18

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 3

Many people are of the opinion that this mark is a physical mark that will be issued to people on their foreheads or on the palms of their hands. This mark is not a physical one. It is similar to: Gal 6:17

17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Christians believe that they carry in their bodies the mark of Christ and they are right but who has ever seen this mark? What does the mark look like and what is the exact position this mark is located in their bodies? I doubt if anyone can answer these questions favorably.

When the mark of the beast is being issued it will be done in so secretive a manner that nobody by merely looking at another man can tell if he has the mark or not.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 4

Spiritual matters are not analyzed the way physical things are. Many of the visions and prophecies in the scriptures are metaphoric in their dispositions. There are many things I see in the visions of my mind which troubles me. An example is this: I see two great stars approach, one from above and the other from beneath. They meet, danced and merged together as one and then disappeared. Then another star less glorious than the former two appeared and unto it was given power to wreck much havoc on the sons of men. This particular evil star cannot be revealed until the former two have disappeared.
