Against Spiritual Death

Wednesday 8 June
READ: 1 John 5: 11 - 12
MORE LESSON: Heb.10:31

Death is not the end of life. It is merely a separation. Physical death is when a man is separated from his body. When a child of God is separated from the body then he becomes united with the Lord and he will be with Him forever more. Paul understood this when he said, I am willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord: 2 Cor 5:8. Physical death is gain for a child of God; it is an opportunity for such a man to be with his Lord and reign with Him. It is only for a man who is not saved that physical death becomes a loss.
Spiritual death is separation from the Eternal Life which is in Jesus Christ. Anyone who doesn't have Jesus Christ in him is spiritually dead. Jesus is Life and he who has Jesus has life. He who doesn't have Jesus is spiritually dead even if he is physically alive. A person who is not connected with Jesus is spiritually dead. 1 John 5:11-12 has this record, God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. This means there are many people who are dead but are walking around; these are the people who have not given their lives to Jesus Christ.
When a man who has eternal life through Jesus Christ dies physically, he continues to live with Jesus in Heaven. Such a man doesn't die, physical death is just a visa for him to go home in victory. However, when a man who is spiritually dead because he doesn't have the Life of Christ dies physically, he goes to hell. He will be cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death; it is eternal death, And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire: Rev 20:14-15.
The second death is eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. It happens to everyone that doesn't accept Jesus till he faces physical death. Physical death is compulsory but the second death is what everyone must avoid. You must not be separated from God eternally, you must not go to hell. Give your life to Jesus today so that even if you experience physical death, you will not experience the second death. I pray you don't die spiritually and that the lake of fire will not be your eternal home, in Jesus’ name. You must take a decision to personally make Jesus your Lord and Saviour and that must be now, if you have not done it before or if you did but lost it. Time is of essence because It is appointed unto a man once to die, after this judgment: Heb. 9:27.

Prayer/Action
1. Rededicate your life to Jesus now.
2. Ask God to hold your hands lest you fall, in Jesus’ name.
3. Renounce every satanic work that can cause you spiritual death.
