FINAL OF FINALS
TEXT:REVELATION 20:7-15
KEY VERSE: "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death" (REVELATION 20:13, 14).
Billions of people subscribe to the bogus idea that this world is the last bus stop. An offshoot of this philosophy is that people should get all the fun they can, here and now, for "tomorrow we shall die". Those who believe and peddle this lie will eventually realise their folly when it will be too late to make a U-turn.
Today's text provides a very significant insight into the final end of Satan and all unrepentant people. At the end of Christ's millennial reign on earth, Satan shall be loosed from a thousand-year bondage. He will deceive the nations and mobilise a global army that will besiege the holy city to resist Christ's kingdom. But they will be consumed with fire from heaven. Satan and his cohorts will be hurled into the lake of fire.
The Great White Throne judgment will follow, during which all sinners - small and great - will stand before a fierce God to be judged and finally condemned. Observe that during this judgment, all the dead, including those who were buried in the sea, will have their spirits and bodies reunited to face this final sentencing. Eventually, death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. All sinners will thus be eternally separated from God.
The picture here is too gloomy for anyone to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. This hopeless doom is avoidable. Christ died to redeem us from such a miserable end. Genuine repentance, faith in Christ, watchfulness and a consistent righteous life will guarantee anyone a slot in the Book of Life and heaven.*
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anyone in hell is too late to be saved.

CREATIVE CREW
TEXT:EXODUS 36:1-8
MEMORY VERSE: "Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded" (EXODUS 36:1).
Myles Munroe described the cemetery as a very rich place where unused talents and gifts are buried. For Bezaleel, Aholiab and every wise hearted man in our text, their God-given gifts and talents were not to be buried in the cemetery. They worked together, using their skills to design and build for God.
John Wesley said: "The possessor of heaven and earth placed you where you are not as a proprietor but as a steward". As a Christian youth, you are to channel your gifts and skills to God's work with God's people.
God deposited gifts in every believer; identify yours and use them for God and humanity. Manufacturing companies, scientific and medical research centres need talented young people like you to discover new knowledge and produce cutting edge technology to match the pace of the fast changing world.
Do not reserve your talents for the cemetery. Are your abilities in the area of music, intercession, writing, building or graphics? Stir them up. Be a creative and an effective team player like Bezaleel, and you will serve God and your generation well.
QUOTE: Be a creative and an effective team player.
CHALLENGE: Don't reserve your gifts, talents and skills for the cemetery.
PRAYER: Lord, make me a creative crew member in Your service.
