Don’t Die Before Your Time

Let us consider the deep scripture in Deuteronomy 17:20: “That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.”

Jeremiah 21:8 says, “And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.” Two ways are laid down in that passage. The choice of where you follow becomes a personal decision. When God withdraws His blessing from people and they walk right into judgment, they die before their time. When there is no protection, satan kills them.

The Bible says, the angel of the Lord encamps roundabout those that fear Him to deliver them. So, if you do not fear the Lord, his angels will not surround you. Therefore, satan can kill you off. Thank God because He has kept millions from dying before their time. We can see that in Psalm 103 verse 3-5: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

As long as you walk straight with the Lord, you have nothing to fear. But when a person veers off to the right or to the left, His protection is taken away. Then the enemy can move in and kill the person.

Some people are following terrible traditions; they say it is God’s will when people die before their time. This is not true. Some people die because they rebel against the Lord. All those who died in the days of Noah died before their time. All those who died in the wilderness when Moses was taking them to the Promised Land died before their time. Certainly, the wife of Lot died before her time. When Christians do not obey God, they invite the enemies to shorten their days. The Lord does not want us to die before our time. Many people die before their time because their faith has been injured or killed. Unbelief can make people to die before their time.

Many times, pastors go to the cemetery and say, “The Lord has given and the Lord has taken, precious is the death of the saints in the sight of the Lord.” But unfortunately, most of the time, the people have died before their time. A good soldier is always a loss to the army when he dies an early death.

God is not a God of the dead but a God of the living. Many believers die before their time because they fail to take a divine insurance. The Bible says no evil shall befall you neither shall any plague come near your camp. When you have weapons and do not use them, anything can happen, you should make use of your divine insurance.

POWER OF THE TERMINATORS

There are some powers known as terminators. Their job is to terminate. If you do not arrest them, you will be terminated.

1. Power of sexual immorality. This is the first major terminator that has killed so many people prematurely. Anyone that gets involved in sexual immorality is writing a letter to Mr. Death and shifting the protection of the Almighty away from his life. Sometime ago, one man and his wife came for counselling. They wanted to know if they should take one boy of seventeen to court or not. They said they sent their daughter who was fifteen years old to school and instead of her to go to school and focus on her studies, she was busy keeping a boyfriend. Eventually, she got pregnant. And for some strange reasons, the boy went to a chemist and got syringes and the girl allowed herself to be injected by the boy who did not have any nursing or medical training. The girl could not tell her parents what she was going through until she was about to die, then she decided to tell her parents everything. So, the parents wanted to know whether they should take the boy to court or not? But taking him to court would not have brought their daughter back. She was dead unfortunately and had gone to hell fire. Many people who are playing at the edge of hell fire should stop it because they are writing a letter to hell fire. When you are writing an unchristian letter to anyone, you are looking for trouble. People must conduct themselves well so that they do not get into trouble. That is why the first advice to people when they get born again is to put away any boyfriend/girlfriend they may have. If they do not keep them off, they are looking for trouble. These days, there are so many terrible films in the streets, and they are ways of death.
