HOW LONG IS TOO LONG ? My man of God started on a high as always. Prayers , prophecies , worships and everything needed in one night to make the devil mad. I don’t think you would find one person in Hell who deliberately planned to go there, but each waited too late and died without the Saviour and without seeing the need to apply speed.
A fable illustrates what I am saying.
It is said that many centuries ago the Devil called all the demons of Hell together. He asked for suggestions as to how to damn the souls of men.
One demon gave one suggestion; another gave another; another gave another. Then a brilliant demon came forward and said, “I’ll tell you what let’s do. Let’s tell men there is a Bible; that the Bible is God’s Word. Let’s tell men that there are a real Hell and a real Heaven; that people who die without the Saviour go to Hell; and that those who believe in Christ, when they die, go to Heaven. Let’s tell men that God loves them and has provided a way whereby they can be saved. Let’s tell men they ought to be saved, but let’s tell them they don’t need to be saved now. Let’s tell them to wait awhile.
It is said that all the demons of Hell, and even Satan himself, applauded the brilliant demon and said, “That’s it! That’s what we will do! Men will fall for that! That’s the best way to damn the souls of men!
Of course, no meeting like that took place; but judging by what is going on in the world today, I believe Satan’s chief instrument is getting men to put it off and to die without the Saviour and without the application of speed.
Nobody plans to go to Hell.
Someone has said, “The road to ‘By and By’ leads to the house of ‘Never.
*HOW LONG IS TOO LONG*
Heb.12:1
Nobody will carry heavy load and go far in life. Is. 10:27; 2 Cor.4:17-18; Ps.16:9-10
It is long:
1. When it begins to mock the Gospel.
1 Sam.1; Ps.42:3.
2. When it assumes your identity.
Lk.1:36.
3.When it is sabotaging your destiny.
4. When your heart begins to sour .
Lk. 13:11-18.
“Whenever you overstay, Jesus will overpower protocols.”
5 Mysteries of Perennial Bondages:
– the mystery of ancient voices.
Lam.5:7-10; Ezek.18:2
=Satan is a lawless person and a rule breaker=
– the mystery of spiritual contamination.
2 Cor.6:15-16.
– the mystery of a resident evil
“The devil does not own you but can be resident.”
– the mystery of a determined adversary
– the mystery of Destiny accusation
“Any time there is long term bondage, there is a root.”
What To Do:
– settle every destiny defilement
– decide to be restless. Gen 27:40

In the words of pastor George Izunwa—->Our life affliction is for a movement and not for a life time,how can you be poor,sick,stagnated for so long.
I don’t care where you fell into,you cant stay there for too long.
*It is too long when it begins to mock the gospel.{PSALM 42 VS 3}
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
*It is too long when it assumes your identity-
When people call you by your promblem name E.G: when you are called a sadist , a poor man, Mad Man, or a school drop out. When they know you can’t achieve anything ,you cant even pass your exams.
*It is too long when the situation begins to sabotage your purpose.There are some bondages that when they grip you , you won’t even know how to begin.
that’s why tou must seek answers immediately.
*it is too long when your heart begins to sour BROTHERS AND SISTERS it is possible to be in church but not in faith
