THE KING WHO WOULD NOT BOW!

 


In the ancient land of Aramelle, there ruled a king named Aderon. His palace touched the clouds, his armies filled valleys, and his treasures glittered like stars. Yet his heart was harder than the iron gates of his throne room.


Prophets came to him.

A poor widow stood before him with tears.

A shepherd boy sang warnings in the streets.

A traveling preacher cried, “Turn, O king! Pride leads to destruction. Mercy waits for you.”

But King Aderon laughed.

“Repent? I am king. I answer to no one.”

Years passed. His pride grew like a mountain. He silenced the prophets, mocked the prayers of the righteous, and trusted only his crown.

Then one night, without trumpet or warning, death came.

His crown fell. His breath left. His body lay cold.

And Aderon awoke… in darkness.


Flames rose like angry waves. Voices cried in regret. Chains clanged like thunder. The king screamed, “Where is my throne? Where are my guards?”

A voice answered from the fire,

“Your throne was mercy. You refused it.”

He remembered the widow. The shepherd boy. The preacher. The many chances.

He fell to his knees, crying,

“Please! Just one more chance! I will repent! I will bow!”

But the flames only roared louder.

“No second chance,” the voice said.

“Time was given. Pride refused.”

The mighty king who never bowed on earth now knelt forever in regret.

And through his tears he whispered,

“If only… I had listened.”




Moral:

Pride closes the door, mercy opens. Today is the day to repent, for tomorrow is not promised.

Short Altar Call: “Today, Bow Before It’s Too Late”

Beloved, you have heard the warning.
Just like the king who refused to bow, pride speaks loudly — but eternity speaks louder.
The Bible says, “Today, if you hear His voice, harden not your heart.” Tomorrow is not promised. Position is not protection. Wealth is not salvation. Power cannot silence judgment.
But there is good news.
Jesus Christ is still calling.
Mercy is still available.
Grace is still flowing.
You may have ignored Him before.
You may have walked in pride.
You may have turned away from His voice.
But tonight, heaven is saying — “Come.”
If you know your heart is not right with God…
If you want forgiveness…
If you want your name written in the Book of Life…
Lift your heart to Him now and pray:
“Lord Jesus, I humble myself.
Forgive my sins.
Wash me with Your blood.
I renounce pride and rebellion.
Be my Lord and my Savior.
I bow before You today.
Write my name in the Book of Life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you prayed that prayer sincerely, believe that He has heard you.
Today, you bowed willingly — and mercy answered.
There is still hope… but only while there is breath.

Faith That Overcomes

Image
Pioneer of Mobile gospel ministry Pastor Akinyemi S Olatokunbo, welcome our audience, across the globe. Onto one of our epistle blog titled, obstacle on the path of spiritual awakening. To come and find enough strength in God's unwavering Presence. In the face of adversity, we often find ourselves asking, "Can I really overcome this?" The answer lies not in our own strength, but in the unshakeable foundation of our faith. The Bible is replete with examples of individuals who, despite seemingly insurmountable challenges, chose to trust in God's sovereignty and emerged victorious. Abraham, Moses, David, and countless others demonstrate that faith is not the absence of fear, but the courage to trust in God's goodness and power. When we face trials, we're tempted to focus on the problem rather than the Problem-Solver. Yet, Scripture reminds us that "with God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Our faith is not a magic wand, but a powerful tool tha...

   Hey! As a Christian, tonight's cross over service promised to usher in the New year 2026.

HOW NOT TO MISS RAPTURE

Our focus in this flight manual, as rapture is drawing nearer. We pray that Almighty God would grant us enough strength and wisdom for proper heavenly boarding.  So as not to miss the redemptive flight of Christ to peaceful heaven. “For our citizenship is in heaven, as we eagerly await Christ's return. Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself. [Philippians 3:20-21]. Without neglecting, what would become the fate of a disobedient passenger that missed the free first flight of Christ, hum!  On this our communal flight board tagged, “Overcoming obstacles on the path of spiritual awakening.
