NO TIME FOR YOU.

Centre verse:(2Corintians 6:2" ...Behold,now is the acceptable time;behold, now is the day of salvation" TEXT 2 CORINTIANS 6:1-8."Are you chicken- hearted ,Sam? When have you start paying attention to this? No Sam,no! I can't leave you senseless. You are moving no way. In fact,I've had enough. I can't withstand this. Up! let's get out here!" the words came out from Rosemary's mouth in an angry rich. She rose from her seat, held Samuel's right arm and pulled him towards the exit. Ordinarily, Samuel and Rosemary would have selected marble- arc hotel for some moment of sinful pleasures. But reluctantly, for reasons they couldn't understand, they concluded to attend an open- air Fellowship that was being held in the city by a well known international evangelist. Although they had heard so much about the miracles occurring there,they neglected such miracles. So that fateful day,they agreed to go and witness things themselves. At least,this would credit some new dimension to their fun,they imagined. When they got to the venue, they located a suitable place in the crowd from where they were sure to have a clear view of every activities in the place. But story took another dimension that evening when the evangelist made an altar call at the end of the message. He preached about God and His love for man and about Christ, His only begotten son,who shed His precious blood to deliver humanity from everlasting doom. The message melted Samuel's heart,he was totally broken. In his brokenness, he went to answered the call for repentance, but  Rosemary would have none of it. She prevailed on him and prevented him from getting there properly. As she pulled her towards their car,that was parked across the road,she continued scolding him,Samuel, how could you be so pliable! How dare you! Have you easily forgotten the reason we came here?for fun! Nothing else. She apart out in utter disgust. "We are leaving immediately! In fact,give me the car key,i'm going ". Samuel who had been silent all this while, dropped the key sheepishly, without explaining what was happening to him. Rosemary boiling with anger,moved into the car,turned the ignition, and whisked her partner away from the meeting; away from the mercy and saving grace of God. They hadn't got far from the venue when they had fatal accident. Unfortunately Samuel died instantly. Rosemary was admitted to the ICU of a nearby hospital with serious injuries to her head and spinal cord. While on the bed the words of the evangelist came back to her faintly: Now is the salvation time turn to God; tomorrow may be too late.." Tears run down her chicks. She tried to pray,at that moment, her breath became too heavy. She breathed rapidly and then,she died. Death had come for her too. Don't delay any longer,tomorrow may be too late. Give your life to Jesus without reservation for is doing us good. REMEMBER THIS: You can't repent too soon because you don't know how soon it may be too late." Further Bible verse: Hebrews 3:8.
