THE LAST HURRICANE IS APPROACHING

"When he sees the enemy approaching, he sounds the alarm to warn everyone. If someone hears it but pays no attention and the enemy comes and kills him, then he is to blame for his own death. His death is his own fault, because he paid no attention to the warning. If he had paid attention, he could have escaped" - Ezekiel 33:3-5 (GNT)


"Isaac’s Storm" is a very interesting book about the hurricane that wiped out Galveston in 1900. One of the main plot lines of the book is about how everyone was convinced that a hurricane could never strike Galveston, even as one approached. The author vividly describes how people went about their business as if nothing was wrong and no one fled from the storm that was about to strike. They did not  worry because Mr. Issac Cline, the National Weather Service Officer in Galveston, had assured them that it would not be a severe storm. Some simply believed that Galveston was invincible. Others thought that since they had never seen a hurricane strike Galveston before, one would never happen. So, for a number of reasons, people assured themselves nothing bad would happen. But when the storm eventually struck,  over 6,000 people died on that fateful day in September 1900.

Beloved, the last hurricane is fast approaching the earth. The enemy of man (Satan) is set to harvest the soul of sinners into the place of everlasting torment - i. e. Hell. Unfortunately, many of us are still living carelessly today like the people of Galveston. We believe the hurricane will not strike. Who knows whether this arictle will be the last alarm that God is sending to warn you. So, I urge you to please repent  today and run into the ever waiting arms of our Lord and Saviour- Jesus Christ today. Tomorrow may be too late.

To all my fellow believers who are at ease in their Zion, please listen to what the Spirit of Lord is saying to you today:

"If, however, the lookout sees the enemy coming and does not sound the alarm, the enemy will come and kill those sinners, but I will hold the lookout responsible for their death. Now, mortal man, I am making you a lookout for the nation of Israel. You must pass on to them the warnings I give you" Ezekiel 33:6-7 (GNT).

Beloved, why not sound the alarm so that all the "People of Galveston" around you can hear the warning and be delivered from the terrible hurricane that is approaching ? Please blow the trumpet now so that you will not be held responsible for the death of every unbelievers around you.

The lyrics of a wonderful hymn titled "Sound the Alarm" which was written Fanny J. Crosby speaks volume on the subject.  May I urge you to please join me to sing and meditate on the lyrics of this hymn as we trust God to rekindle in us fresh fire and passion to be faithful Watchmen/Evangelists for Him till He comes.

SOUND THE  ALARM.

Sound the alarm! Let the watchman cry!
“Up! for the day of the Lord is nigh;
Who will escape from the wrath to come?
Who have a place in the soul’s bright home?”

Chorus:
           Sound the alarm, watchman! Sound the alarm!
           For the Lord will come with a conqu’ring arm;
           And the hosts of sin, as their ranks advance,
           Shall wither and fall at His glance.

Sound the alarm! Let the cry go forth,
Swift as the wind, o’er the realms of earth;
“Flee to the Rock where the soul may hide!
Flee to the Rock! in its cleft abide!”

Sound the alarm on the mountain’s brow!
Plead with the lost by the wayside now:
Warn them to come and the truth embrace;
Urge them to come and be saved by grace.

Sound the alarm in the youthful ear;
Sound it aloud that the old may hear;
Blow ye the trump while the day-beams last!
Blow ye the trump till the light is past!

Good day and God bless you.  Amen

Maranatha!
