A woman Full of Love, care and always showing mercy, even when she was nobody on earth, yet she was regard as a mighty soldier of Christ and well known by heaven, because of her zeal and determination to pleased God at all cost, she completed her mansion in heaven within 10years after she gave her life to Christ. And both the saints and the angels has being awaiting for her returns

When The angel saw the soul of Felicia approaching the gate of heaven, they smile because they knew her very well and very sure about her salvation, they have being expecting her return ever since she completed her mansion 10 years after she met the lord,

As she steps forward, 3 of the Angels smile at her as she come forward while the others were busy searching a book. The 3 angels said, well come back Felicia, we have being waiting for you ever since you gave your life to Christ 24 years ago, you have served the lord indeed and much reward is waiting for you, Felicia smile and was very happy when she heard this beautiful testimony, I have determine to serve the Lord my God she said, and I can’t wait to see him in his glory. Yes you have indeed served the Lord said one of the Angel searching the book, But still I can’t see your name in the book of the Lamb anymore, the Angels search and search but couldn’t find it, they were so surprised, and Felicia herself was shocked to hear that it can’t be so, what could have happen, search for it again, it must be there, I have served the Lord with all my heart and all my might, and with my whole life, why will my name not be there? Then one of the Angels with a book of the backsliders check the book and found her name among the backsliders, Felicia scream at top of her voice, what have I done, it must not be so, I must enter the kingdom of my father, No Jesus help me,

Then something appears on the screen showing reasons why she won’t be able to enter the kingdom of God, then one of the Angel quote Roman 13:8 Owe no man no debt,… you promised Kafayat your friend that you were going to pay her a visit on the 3rd of April because she always complain of not visiting her and you promised her a visit, but you didn’t go, and you didn’t even call her to let her know why you couldn’t make it and or why you will not be coming again. You make her focus on so much on your coming, and finally, you cause her mock the name of the Lord, after she believe you were deceiving her, she said, and she call herself S.U, their God encourage deceit, (psalm74:18)

You have made a promise and you have failed to fulfill what you have said, no little wrinkle or stain can enter the kingdom of God. because the moment you alter the promise, it was established immediately here in heaven for the bible said, say a word on earth and it shall be established unto you (Job22:28), because you made this promised and you fail to do as you have promised, it has qualified you as a sinner and a backslider, so you have no part here again.(Luke13:24)
She screamed on top of her voice after she heard it, she pleaded for mercy and wept bitterly, oh my dream is taken away from me, I have suffer and labored so much to get here, oh Lord, have mercy on me, I will go and visit her, please show me mercy, As she was still crying, she heard a mighty voice like a rushing water saying, Enough, now rise and go back and do as you have said and also warn my children who love to give promises and without paying it, for their part shall be taken out from the book of life. The moment she heard that, a mighty force pick her soul up and threw it back like a stone back into the world, and she woke up (Let’s stop here)

It is written, that after death, it’s judgement and there is no more second chance, only 0.01% will see the kind of favour Felicia received, but bible said, blessed are the merciful for they shall received mercy
James4:13 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? …….ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall …. do this, or that.
The Lord is a God of his word and warned us to always let our yea be yea, God will never say a word without fulfilling what he has said because he’s not a liar, no matter how the lies comes all liars will still found their part in hell, and he will never want any of his children to end up in hell, so he warned them to be holy as he himself is holy, if he who is our God will say a word and do what he said, then we also must do what we have promised other and do that which we had altered with our, so as to be as he is.
Many people do not count this but not knowing it is enough to send them to hell without repenting from it, better is it not to give a promise, than giving it and not fulfilling it, because the accusers of brethren also watch and took note of every word you make that he may used it against you on day of judgment

This kind of dummy promise is very common even in Christian family, like many parent who will promise their children something they themselves know they can never afford it in 20years to come, and yet they will say it’s a joke, it’s not necessary we speak always, because there are times to keep silence for the bible said, he who keep silent is wise, because out of multitude of word sin availeth, many souls are in hell today because of their tongue, this is the reason why I myself always careful. No matter what, I will never want to promise of doing something, because when I promise, I’m always afraid, and my mind will be there. Even little promises like, I will call you later, I’m always careful
Many husband will borrow some token of amount from their wife, my dear, please borrow me 50Naira from your hand, what is 50Naira, the money is worthless and it has little value, truly the wife will not expect the husband to refund that kind of money for it will looks funny, but the word he has altered “Borrow me” is enough to send him to hell if he fail to return it. many husband borrow and will not pay back, they will say after all I pay for all the bill alone, even the one I borrow, I gave it to her, it’s not so, mind what you say
Many Christian ladies go to market to price something’s, and when they come to the seller and they found out that the price is beyond what they expect, they will want to excused themselves from the seller by saying, okay Let me go to other place to price it, I will come back to buy from you, whereas they don’t have it in mind to come back again, This is a covenant of word you must fulfilled, All liars shall find their part in the lake of fire, even telling of jokes, Many Christians think they can talk jokes to make people happy, like “I wanted to kill my chicken during December and the chicken start shouting help please don’t kill me, and they will call this a joke, have you seeing a chicken talking before? (Eph5:4)

This they don’t count, we must be very careful of every single words that slip out of our mouth, Tongue is the smallest part of the body and it has sent countless souls to hell, are you the next soul? It is better you tame that tongue of yours before it tamed you.
Promise is a debt,, do not promise what you cannot give or what you are not so sure of fulfilling, and even when you promise, fulfill your promise. Many Christian will even write a vow in the church, and they wont fulfill their vow, no matter what even if the reason why you gave the vow has past, you must still fulfill it, it’s already registered against you in heaven that you promised to do this or that, and if you fail to do it, then you are a debtor, and no debtors will inherit the kingdom of God. Many Christian will borrow money and the day they promise to pay back the money, perhaps something occur and they don’t see the money to pay back, instead of them to go back to their creditor to explain why, they will start dodging and running, all these are sin that can lead a standing believer to hell.
Remember the vow you made before the Lord when you took your wife to the Alter, that for better even for worse you will love her and never depart away from her till death do you part, now you have divorced your wife because of one thing or the other, even if you do not married, you have failed to fulfill your vow which you made in the presence of God, forgotten you haven’t married an Angel, yet you divorce her because of her imperfection
The journey to heaven is not a meat and bread journey, there are countless things you must endure to get there that is why it’s called a narrow way, because it’s a journey that calls for endurance and determination, be very careful of the promises we made to our children, our neighbors, customers and even our wife, before you marry her, you promise never to leave her but to stay together always and to love her, but for the past two years, you have being living in London, while your wife remain in Ghana, what kind of unity is that? if the little promise Felicia promised and fail to fulfilled can hinder her from heaven what about you? The promise you promised your friend, family, parent, even the promise you promised God trough your songs? Because satan has even succeeded in caging so many Christians with their own world, giving God a promise they can’t fulfill trough their song, like,
“No matter what I face, when trouble comes my way I will praise the Lord” have you ever praised the Lord when you enchanter trouble didn’t you praise him with complains, murmuring and weeping’s when troubles comes your way? That song you sang will be used to accuse you by satan when you appear before the gate of heaven. Be careful of our tongue and let not allow it to lead us to sin against the Lord.
God hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Ecc5:4-8

a Christian died, and as he approaches the gates of heaven, he sees Peter and says 'Peter, i have lived as a Christian my whole life and have come to receive my reward!'
Peter: we have a points system in place for people like you; it takes 1000 points to get in; what have you done?
man, somewhat surprised: well, uh, i married the first girl i dated and never looked at another woman in lust
Peter: that's half a point, what else?
man, now visibly shaken: oh my; well i gave tithes of my gross income and offerings above that!
Peter: half a point; what else?
man, now beginning to perspire: ok, i went to church every time the doors opened and spent all my vacations on mission trips!
Peter: half a point; what else?
man, now clearly desperate: Lord have mercy; what does it take to get 1000 points???
Peter: BINGO! asking for MERCY is worth 1000 points; come on in Brother!
