GOD'S CASE, NO APPEAL

During my secondary school days, I used to notice a Goods/passengers lorry that used to ply Asaba- Lagos road that says: “God’s case No appeal”. The saying did not convey any deep meaning to me then but was like any other saying to draw ordinary attention. Of all the days of our lives here on earth, just one day, a day that hearts will be touched, a day of deep reflection, a day that people will say good and bad about you as they gather in small or large groups, a day that brightness of the day will turn into darkness, and that day is the most important day of man’s life. It is a day that the spirit will be separated from the body and the body will no longer see, hear, touch or move. It is appointed unto man once to die and after death, judgment. “And I saw the dead, great and small standing before the throne, and the books were opened…” (Rev 20:12).

Hear Ecclesiastes 3:16, “And I saw something else under the sun. In the place of judgment, wickedness was there, in the place of righteousness, iniquity was there”, and verse 17 scripture says, “I thought in my heart, God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed declared”. It means therefore that there is no justice in the courts of man; the innocent is found guilty and the guilty is found to be innocent. This leads to appeal after appeal in the courts of man.  Friends, in God’s case, there is no appeal because the books and the book will be opened. Daniel 7:25-26 says, “But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever”.

One thing that gladdens God’s heart is truth and justice. In God’s case, there is no solicitor, and advocate, there is no lawyer who fly on the wings of the law. In God’s case, there is no senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN). What he wants is the truth and nothing but the truth and you will be acquitted.

Brothers/sisters, God’s judgment day is near. Are you ready for it? That great day is coming when men shall stand before the throne of God and give account of themselves.
