 The departure Lounge remains the only place where those who have prepared for a flight are assembled for boarding.

Before arrival at the departure lounge, a lot of preparation must have been made for the journey to be embarked upon. Such preparations include the careful selection of “approved” materials for the journey; getting an appropriate box/bag  and arranging the selected personal effects into the bag for the journey.

Many things a traveler considers important ordinarily will not make the journey because of constraints such as the maximum allowable size and weight of luggage and other specifications according to immigration laws. Consequently, a traveler is left with no other option than to select what is most important among the very important belongings.

 

Also, the necessary travel documents such as passports, visas etc must have been processed before the journey can become a reality.

Every man including you has got a date at the departure lounge of life. The creator brought you to this earth fulfilling one way of the two -way journey at no cost charged to you and, your coming is not an accident but on purpose.

 

You have a mandate and a mission. It is rather regretable that many are already on the departure lounge of life without realizing it (for no one knows the time-Mk 13:33). This is possible because they feel they are still young and have time; they feel they are healthy and cannot depart just like that; they have material, physical and spiritual security that are able to defer arrival at the departure lounge; they just recorded some “major” life achievements (building, graduation, wedding, secured jobs, got new cars, etc) and must enjoy the fruit of their labour……etc. Unfortunately, they refuse to learn from the natural departure lounge where everyone irrespective of age, riches, health status, gender, religion/belief and other social status gather. The departure lounge is no respecter of any such grading. They are oblivious of the fact that the hosts of eternity are already at the port of their destination to usher them into a life without end; they live carelessly, they party on and have no inkling of their closeness to their departure time.

 

Many people despite being faced with the reality of departure have lost focus of what is important. With their baggage full garbage and contrabands, they show up at the departure lounge. Contrary to what obtains on earth where a check on baggage is done before departure may prevent one from travelling if the law is flouted, the departure lounge of life admits you despite your garbage full baggage but the destination is altered and so is the traveler’s eternal destiny.

 

Have you checked your travelling documents lately to ascertain your passport and visa status? Have you made efforts to know what the country of your desire requires for your admission? Are you making deliberate efforts to ensure that your baggage complies with the immigration laws of the nation of your destination?

 

You have limited options. The flight that takes off from the earth only has two destinations and with two characteristics- eternal punishment & suffering and eternal life & peace. The choice is yours to make.

To access the former, there are no restrictions to the content of your baggage, any kind of lifestyle of filth and sin will qualify you. The process of the travel documents has no restrictions. The port is always full and the country is open to all.

To access the city of eternal life & peace, holiness and righteousness will earn you the passport and cleansing by the blood of Jesus Christ is the only guarantee for your visa.

 

Dear reader, this is presenting you with the choice of heaven (the city of eternal life & peace) and hell (the city of eternal punishment and sufferings) with a counsel that you choose heaven.

You are also advised to quickly and without further delay, begin to review your preparations and travel documentations because your citizenship status depends solely on them. Are you ready?

 If you are heaven bound you have to check your baggage and get rid of all unrighteousness (sin), you have to completely depend on Jesus Christ by confessing your sins, repenting from them, forsaking them and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior. Let His blood wash your filth and guilt away. While you are still on earth, kindly associate with people with like minds and visions (a bible believing church- Heb 10:25)

Are you ready?

 

YES?

Then say the following prayers from your heart:

 

Dear Lord, I am a sinner. Have mercy upon me and forgive my sins. I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour today.  I believe you came, lived for me, died and rose from the dead for my sake. LORD, give me the strength, grace and privilege to live the rest of my life for You alone.  Empower me with the HOLY SPIRIT that I may through Him work and live to Your glory in JESUS name. Amen.
