"Help those who have doubts. Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire." Jude 1:22 (ERV)
RESCUE THE PERISHING
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
Refrain
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.
Good day and God bless you.
Maranatha!

Our Saviour described what Hell is like in the Holy Scriptures. Hell is an eternal torture chamber designed to house the devil and anyone who refused to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ while on earth. People in Hell will be permanently separated from God, and they will live in great agony forever (Matthew 8:12). It is a place of absolute unrestrained evil where no one would like to be. In Luke 16:27-28, the rich man who died and went to Hell pleaded that someone be send to rescue his five brothers who were still alive so that they will not join him in that place of eternal pain/torment. That is the rescue mandate!
“The poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the feast in heaven. The rich man died and was buried, The rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father's house, where I have five brothers. Let him go and warn them so that they, at least, will not come to this place of pain.’"- Luke 16:22, 27-28 (GNB)
Unfortunately, many believers have jettisoned the rescue mandate of Jesus Christ and millions of precious souls are walking majestically into the raging fire of Hell everyday. Friends, I hope you are not among those careless Christians who have refused to join the rescue team. Please hear what God said about those who refused to join His rescue team:
“If I say to the wicked, ‘Wicked man, wicked woman, you’re on the fast track to death!’ and you don’t speak up and warn the wicked to change their ways, the wicked will die unwarned in their sins and I’ll hold you responsible for their bloodshed"- Ezekiel 33:6 (MSG)
Beloved, there are many people living in the danger of Hell around us today that Jesus wants to rescue. Can God send you to rescue them? Have you been rescued? Will you gladly share your rescue testimonies/experiences with those who also need to be rescued? Will you join His Rescue Team? If your answer is "Yes", then may I urge you to spend quality time today interceding for those perishing souls, as you prepare to join us on Saturday 25th May, 2019, for the Global Outreach Day to witness Jesus to everyone in our neighbourhood and communities.
In 1869, God inspired the renowned hymnist Fanny J. Crosby to compose a hymn "Rescue The Perishing" that should be our Anthem for the Great Rescue Operation. May I urge you to please prayerfully meditate on the lyrics of this wonderful hymn below, and trust God to empower and strengthen you to rescue everyone living in the danger of Hell's fire around you this weekend.

My prayer for you and my humble self is that; through us God will rescue multitude from the blazing furnace of Hell. Everything that we require to rescue others from the grip of Hell shall be supplied and we shall remain relevant in the agenda of God for the rescue operations till Christ returns. And may we not lose our reward for serving in the rescue team.
