Almost Saved, But Lost - Part 1


Opening Scripture: Luke 17:32 : "Remember Lot’s wife."

The story of Lot’s wife is one of the most sobering warnings in the Bible. She was at the threshold of deliverance but never made it through. She was almost saved but still lost. How tragic it is to be so close to salvation, yet miss it!

Many people today are in the same situation. They are close to salvation, they know about God, they attend church, they have Christian friends, but they have not fully committed to Christ. They are standing at the edge of deliverance, but something is holding them back.

"The transformation of lot's wife into a pillar of salt serves as a striking and enduring symbol of the dangers of disobedience and the consequences of clinging to the past, her act of looking back was not merely a physical turn off the head, but a manifestation of a heart unwilling to fully embrace the path of obedience and trust in God's guidance. In examining the significance of lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt, we glean timeless lessons about the dangers of nostalgia, the reluctance to let go of sinful environments and the profound consequences of disobedience to God's explicit commands.

The scriptural narrative serves as a profound lesson on the importance of immediate and complete obedience to God's commands." __

Lot's wife had the Right Opportunity, but she wasted It. (Genesis 19:15-17) – The angels took Lot and his family by the hand, leading them out of the city before destruction. Lot’s wife had a divine opportunity to escape, but she did not make it. Many people today hear the gospel, feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and even step toward Christ, but they do not fully surrender. Salvation is not about proximity; it is about decision. 

The question now is: Have you had opportunities to surrender to Christ but keep delaying?

The Unprecedented

Image
When something is unprecedented, it is extraordinary and stands out due to its novelty and lack of prior occurrence . It is often used in contexts where there is a significant departure from the norm or an event of exceptional magnitude. It has been scientifically proven with clear and resonating evidence; the story of the flood that covered the earth’s surface. With distinct details recorded in the Bible, we’re told that God spoke to a man named Noah. Haven found him righteous, HE required him to build an Ark informing him that rain would fall and cause the earth to be flooded. The news of rain falling was very unprecedented since there had never been rain on earth in those days (Genesis 2:5-6) . God didn’t inform Noah of the time/season when the rain would come. And for an event that never had   once happened, this man believed, built the Ark, and took on the task of evangelism head-on. For over 120 years of evangelism to the people of the world, he had only 7 congregations wh...

Far Too Long!

Time... what an indispensable commodity it is; given freely and equally to all and can't be altered. The same 24 hours is allocated daily to everyone whether high/low, rich/poor, strong/weak,.. whatever the status. Right from the process of fertilization, everyone partakes in the non-mandatory yet compulsory race of time. We all want to grow - engage in things which exhibit growth in various facets. However, some unexpected occurrence could arise and growth gets hindered. One gets the more irated when even after so much struggle/toil to achieve a specified growth, an extremely minute progress is experienced or an impotent result or worse still retrogression is experienced. Yet, time waits for no one. What do you do in such situation. The book of John chapter 5, verses 5 to 7 gives a story about a man who had an unexpected delay in time; it says: " And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had bee...
