Hello Readers & Followers,
I hope you are well.
There is a reason the Scripture is silent about the age at which the Lord instructed Noah to build an ark.
It is evident from the Scripture that it took a while for Noah to build the ark, and it took a while for the Lord to send the flood that was going to cover the whole earth/the flood that destroyed the whole earth during the time of Noah (Genesis 6 & 7).
The delayed timing of the flood coming to the earth was part of divine timing that demonstrated God's mercy and how God's desire was for people not to perish.
2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent."
Because this is God's desire for humanity, it does not mean humanity wants this desire.
The delayed time of the building of the gigantic ark was a warning to humanity to follow Yahweh, but sadly, almost the whole world, apart from Noah's family, yielded to God's Word, and they were saved.
The road to enter God's Kingdom is narrow, but the highway to hell is broad and the broad gate is wide, while the gate to heaven is very narrow and only a few ever find it.
Which road are you on?
Jesus spoke about the broad road. He described some people who thought they were on their way to Heaven, but when they got to the judgment, He said to them, “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23).
They protested, “But Lord, I cast out demons in your name. Lord, I was an evangelist. I was this; I was that” (Matthew 7:22). And Jesus said He would say to them, “I don’t even know you.”
Jesus said the broad road is deceptive. It may seem right to many people to get what they can out of life, to seek their own pleasure, to satisfy their own appetites. But the Bible says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12).
Jesus said that the road to heaven is narrow and the gate is narrow, and that He is the gate. “I am the door,” He declared. “If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved” (John 10:9).
Which road are you on today?
Which direction are you travelling?
The daily choices that you are making determine the road that you are on.
The road to heaven requires discipline, yielding to the instruction of the Holy Spirit and daily surrendering to Jesus.
The choice is yours on the road to be on.
It is my desire for you to enter into the final ark.
