THE INGRATE AND THE MOST INGRATE

I watched a Christian movie some time ago, one of the characters whom I presumed took the lead role was angry with God, and decided never to worship Him because according to him God did not care about his plight.In other words, God was wicked to him for not providing him with a job after his long year of graduation. Those who graduated with him who were also his fellow Christians had good jobs and were doing great in their various endeavours, but he had nothing other than the ‘crumbs’ from his parent’s table. This led to his lost of faith, of course you know what this means, he was falsely accused and was put behind bars. There he started reflecting on the words of advice given to him by his parents and friends while he was backsliding, only if he had known. Still on reflection, he was shown heaven and hell in a trance. He saw one of the supposed believers in hell wailing in pains, he was pricked and shouted I don’t want to be here!The angel who was showing him all these said to him you are an INGRATE, you complained of not having a job but you were fed, clothed, shielded and never admitted in the hospital. He now said to the unbelievers you are the most UNGRATEFUL, you never cared about your souls but live your lives the way you pleased. The one (Jesus) who paid the price for your souls you ignored. After the trance, he realized his wrongs and was restored to faith in God. From the aboveexcerpt, who are you? An Ingrate or the most ungrateful? Yes you may not have got to the level you desired (being married, bearing children, lucrative job or a successful business, having a mansion, etc.) but you are alive hale and healthy, praise Him for the ones He has done and in due course you will be visited. Then, are you the most ungrateful?What more do you want from God who did not spare His cherished son but gave Him up for the remission of your sins. Isn’t time you repented and enjoyed the free salvation at your disposal? Remember, there is joy in heaven over a soul that repents.Why not make heaven happy today? SHALOM! Ezinne Okpara
