MEMORISE:
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 21 JUNE 2024 TODAY MESSAGE
Man has several enemies; the last one that every man will face is death. According to 1 Corinthians 15:26, the last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Death sees you dealing with other enemies and stays aside, waiting until the last moment to pounce. There is no way we can dodge death.
Hebrews 9:27 says that it is appointed unto men to die once, so, we are all going to die. Kings, presidents, pastors and General Overseers will all die. As anointed as Elisha was, he still died.
Fortunately, Jesus Christ has defeated man’s last enemy. In 1 Corinthians 15:41-57, the Bible makes it clear that death has been swallowed up in victory.
If you are a bride of Jesus Christ and you are committed to serving God in Spirit and in truth, death is merely a horse that will transport you to your glorious home above. Those who are not born again should be afraid of death because while death leads Christians to heaven, it leads sinners to the second death.
After a sinner has died on earth, he is judged and sent to hell fire (Psalms 9:17). Jesus said in Luke 12:5: But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, 1 say unto you, Fear him.
In hell, sinners will be tormented by demons while waiting for the second death. After the rapture has happened, the marriage supper of the lamb and a few more events will take place (Revelation 19:7-21), after which the devil and his agents will be cast into the lake of fire.
Those whose names are not found in the book of life will also be cast into the lake of fire with the devil and his agents (Revelation 20:14-15, Revelation 21:8) – this is the second death. This is the death that you should do everything not to experience. Everyone who dies the second death will be condemned to a lake where fire and brimstone will burn them forever.
They will be neighbours with the devil and his demons. If you have seen how terrible a demon looks, you wouldn’t want to be in a place with millions of them around you for eternity. There is no pleasure of sin that is worth ending up in the lake of fire, none at all.
OPEN HEAVEN 21 JUNE 2024 KEY POINT
It is foolishness to commit sin because it leads to eternity in the lake of fire. Don’t be foolish.
