Jesus is Coming Soon: A Lamentation from hell by Pastor Gbenga Odubanjo

The Lord told me it’s time to publish volume five of Jesus Is Coming Soon. So, I began to wait on Him to know what He would want me to write. Suddenly, He took me to hell and I heard a voice of a young man shouting, ‘Someone must share my story.’ Then the Lord said I should listen to him and publish his story to let His people know that heaven and hell are real.

 “Someone must share my story.”

“Born with a silver spoon you may say, you won’t be wrong. Had everything life has to offer to the fullest. Attended the best of schools; associated with the children of the high class in the society and worked in one of the best organizations in the world. I can say God was good to me; my desires were all met, I got all I wanted in terms of pleasure. Had a good taste of ladies of all sizes according to my desire. When it was time to settle down the daughter of my father’s friend was the family’s choice for me. Like I said everything went well for me.

All of a sudden, I woke up one morning only to discover I can’t move my legs and hands, talking was becoming Impossible. I became the specimen of doctors both within and outside the country. Money was not an issue, all the family wanted was my getting well. As there was no improvement the next point of call was churches and visiting all manner of prophets. Until suddenly death knocked at the door which no one saw coming. This is my journey to hell.

Someone must share my story. My greatest regret now was during the time of my sickness, been carried from one church to different mountains for prayers. No pastor or prophet thought of asking me if I was born again or the kind of life I was living.

Everyone was more concerned about my health; how I would stand on my feet and move my hands so that they will share the testimony in the church of what God is doing through them. Now I have lost in both ways; the health I don’t have and salvation that would have given me eternal life I have lost forever.

This is my greatest pain, I wish I can go back to share my story especially with my friends and family so that they don’t end up here in everlasting sorrow and pains. There is no enough explanation that can describe this hell. It is not a place you want your worst enemy to be. A place of perpetual tears, where there is no view of peace but agony all the time.

Truly, I had the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, but I was blinded by my father’s wealth and the pleasures of life that surrounded me. Now I know that most of what we see on earth is nothing but deception and vanity. What I called enjoyment was nothing but delusion.

What strengthened me more in my sinful life were some church-going Christians that said they believed in Jesus Christ, yet they live contrary to His doctrines. Among my closest girl-friends, l remember two were born-again Christians, one was in the choir and the other a pastor’s daughter. Immorality was nothing to them, this made me believe that this Christian life was just a scam.

I could remember giving them money for abortion not once or twice, we drank and smoked all manner. Now I am forever trapped in hell. Someone must share my story so as to deliver others from coming here, a place of total darkness and unquenchable fire of torture.

Pastors more interested in envelopes

The pastors that were coming to pray for my dad and mom knew we were not serious Christians but they were more interested in the envelopes that they would collect. They never stopped giving prophecies and seeing all manner of revelations that puts fear in us, their prayers were for protection and long life.

The salvation of our souls was missing in their fellowship. Someone must share my story to tell the world that all we see on earth and call pleasure of life is nothing but deception, a trap from the devil to blind us from knowing the truth.

The day I died, I saw my soul leaving my body, the soul and the body look alike, no difference. I was wondering what could be happening to me, only to find myself before the King of glory, Jesus Christ, He was seated on the throne of judgment where He will judge the whole world. He never needed to talk, I saw all my wrongs and the opportunities given to me to correct them and how I refused. All I heard with a very loud voice was depart into the place made for all children of disobedience. Someone needs to share my story, no one must come to hell.

I now realize that our stay on earth is to do the will of God. I never knew a day would come that I will be told to give an account of how I lived my life on earth. I thought I owned my life and what I do with it is my business. The devil never allowed me to think of what would happen to me after death. I was carried away with worldly pleasures; I never knew death could come so soon.

From here I see that there is no secret that is hidden to God and there is no sin that is swept under the carpet. You cannot cover your iniquity except you genuinely repent and the blood of Jesus Christ washes away your sin. I see people I was not expecting to see here in hell.

For me, I have no excuse but for people called religious leaders to be found among us here in hell is highly surprising. Their works on earth went through fire and were consumed to ashes, it had no eternal value. Just like all I did on the earth was for my selfish interest, I never knew a day would come when I will be questioned on how I lived my life.

Please do everything to make sure you don’t end up here in hell, this is why I cry daily that someone must share my story, there is no more hope of repentance for me, but for you that are still alive, you have a great opportunity. Heaven and hell are real, repent and follow Jesus Christ; He is the only hope for eternity”.

Greatest regret in life

The greatest regret in the life of a man is to die without accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. It’s a regret that has no end, to finish your earthly journey in a place of everlasting sorrow and pain. It’s a place that can’t be fully explained yet the majority of the earth population will be there according to the word of God, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”  Matthew 7:13-14.

All because they rejected the truth (Jesus Christ), for the pleasure they see in the world. If the dead can return they won’t need a preacher before accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. The irony here is that it is appointed on to man to die once then comes the judgment. Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”

The love of God to man is immeasurable, He wants everyone to be saved but the choice is ours to make, He can’t make the decision for us. He has done everything and He is still doing everything to make sure we don’t miss heaven.

You may ask how? He has sent Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelist, and Teachers of the gospel to us, yet many have refused to hear the truth that will set them free from sin, John 8:31-32 “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” He has revealed Heaven and Hell to some of us which I am one of them, sent by God to crusade the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To the saints, I will say cheer up because our Redeemer cometh soon. To those who are yet to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour or If Jesus Christ comes as you are reading this article, you are not sure of making it to heaven? This is a very good opportunity to dedicate or re-dedicate your life to Him by confessing these words with faith in your heart:

My Lord Jesus, I come to You as a sinner, forgive me of all my wrongdoings. I believe in my heart today, that You died and rose on the third day for me to live; You shed Your blood for my redemption. I accept You now as my personal Lord and Saviour. Thank You for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
