A Lady In Hell Due To Fornication

(Divine Revelation Of UnConfessed Sexual Immorality)

Since the departure of the angel that brought me, thousands of people had entered throughout the same and trotted down into hell, but the place remained as spacious as ever. While I was yet trapped down by this awful scene, I discovered that one of the hell inmates was drawing a lit bit closer to the bank.

She crawled like a fly near the bound set between hell bank and the land. ” A-ll-en, A-ll-en,” shouted the lady. I was shocked to the root to hear my name in hell. I didn’t recognize on the time who the person was, because the face was marred and disfigured by the fire; the skin was blackened by the flame and littered by sores. “Who? Who?

Who are you?” I asked with great inquisitiveness?” She shouted again: “A-ll-en Bamgbose, I am Rita; your hostel mate in the Grammar school. O-o-oh I’m hungry, p-l-e-a-s-e help m-e-e…” I was flabbergasted at seeing Rita in hell. Rita in hell?

No! It must be a dream. But Rita died a good Christian! I soliloquized all these questions right on the same spot. To cut a long story short, human feelings gripped me and I thought I could help her out of that predicament. Thus, I took a step to move to her, but my legs were too heavy for me to lift.

I looked around for my friendly angel again, he was nowhere to be found. “Rita, why are you here? You are a child of God, why did you miss heaven? We organised concerts, carol and quiz competitions in our school fellowship and you didn’t disappoint God. You were very good at sword drill and impromptu speech. “Why?” “How?” I sobbed out these statements.

“Yes, I did all that in the Grammar school, Allen,” she replied “but later in life and two months to my graduation in the university, I yielded to a sinful affair with a boy at home during a short break. I thought of repenting in the campus chapel when the school resumed. But on returning from home, I had a motor accident.

The next thing I discovered was that I found myself in the gate over there and an angel asked me to go to the left road which ends in this place,” she revealed. ” O-o-oh Rita, why did you allow this, after all the evangelism in the boarding house, choruses and prayer meetings? What were you doing till your flesh inflicted this temptation on you and conquered?” I asked with lament.

While I was lamenting over this tragic scene, the fire as red as it were erupted like a volcano around the place she was, immediately, she sank. I was afraid of God right there. I didn’t see Rita again throughout my vision. For over thirty minutes, I was recapitulating the exploit we did in our secondary school days.

I considered the heroic effort of Rita Udoh in the school christian programmes. This was an exceptionally talented sister in song and extraordinary gifted lady in leadership and organisation. The concert-goers of those days used to comment that Rita’s voice made our concerts rent in accelerando and rallentando like cherub-choir’s in Heaven.

She could motivate a lot. I reflected on her exercised influence both to soften the hearts of the hardened students and polish the character of the immature ones. When I considered the incalculable mass of suffering from her parents and persecution from out teachers she independently went through, I cried. It loomed large on me, that the race is not to the swift.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all” Culled: From 4 Hours Interview In Hell By Allen Bamgbose.

Answer: It’s is written James 5:16 “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” Yes, you only confess to your spiritual father’s, the shepherd or pastor in your church or disciplinary committee. They will help you in prayers, counseling and also guide you.

Answer: An open confession to the church is for the pastors or a renowned leader who is well respected in the church and also in charge of the church activities. He/she is requested to expose him/herself to the church openly by confessing the immoral act and ask the whole church for their forgiveness.

Though many pastors has committed suicide just because they can’t bear the shame while majority has lavished in Hell due to this fact, and this moment they wish they could subdue such shame while on Earth and render their restitution amicably because the horror shame in Hell is horrible.

However, in term of an ordinary church worker, he/she is requested to report him/herself to the church disciplinary committee (almost every church has this set of department) or the pastor. It now left for the church disciplinary committee or the pastor to incur suspension upon such person.

Though sometimes, the person might be instructed by the pastor or the disciplinary committee to stand openly before the whole congregation to confess his/her abominable act. While the pastor sometimes, might just counsel and pray for victim and ask him/her to go in peace, but the strength to amount such confidence or boldness to approach the pastor always seem difficult because the devil will come with different tactics in order to hinder such godly step.

But in most cases, the person might be suspended and striped-off from whatever post or church leadership he/she held in the church for some period of months or year pending the time the church behold he/she has fully repented before such person can be restored back.

Question: What happen to a member that refuse to embrace discipline or suspension and later went to anther church?

Answer: It’s unfortunate that some of this caliber set of Christians under church suspension will ran out of the church and joined another church because they can’t withstand the shame. However, whenever they died the Heaven will likewise reject them because they refuse to serve the suspension.

Question: What if the person that committed the sexual sin is a pastor?

Answer: It’s written 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order” You don’t just commit fornication, adultery, masturbate or steal church money without exposing yourself and expect orderliness and peace to reign in the church. How is that possible?

There must be disciplining and orderliness in the house of God, so that the church wouldn’t turns into another set of night clubs. This will cause the brethren to learnt from the mistake of others and fear God, so that revival will swipe across the church.

However, if such person is a pastor, he must likewise expose himself to the pastorate leader/ the pastors forum/ which may inventually lead or warrant confession to the church or whole congregation. I mean the reason why you didn’t want to confess that secret sin is probably due to shame or fear and that is exact reason why you must confess it to the whole church because you abused the trust which your members has on you.

When you confess secret sins of sexual immoralities, it brings about an internal spiritual relief. The sinful burden of guilt will be uplifted from your heart and the devil crushed into shame.

We are special people who are redeemed and not afraid, shy or ashamed of our past sinful life, but ever ready to confess it to the whole world as a divine testimonies of our true conversion.
