First of all, in life we have to make choices and that
is we are presented with two alternatives. HELL OR PARADISE? this
Secondly, sometimes we see life as a bed of roses witout thorns
until we get cut by the unexpected, then, we understand that HELL is in PARADISE. yes, we can find ashes in the
beauty of life and we must expect it and prepare for it. for, it will sure come when you least think. this is a situation we encounter always on the job. Hell can be found
in the paradise of your good job. Hell can found in the paradise of your sweet home. no one can be spared
from the hell of affliction this side of Eternity. the question is what will you make of your hell? if you add
an O to hell you have hello.
Thirdly, life presents a mixture of hell and paradise.
there is never infinite joy in anything down here except the joy we find in Jesus Christ. At times, we create our own
hell after God gave us a paradise blessing. We mess the bliss. So, remember this, whether it is your fault
or someone else's, you will be exposed to the mixture of hell at times and paradise at other times. what must one do?
gain experience through your adversity and enjoy the good times that God grants you. Through this mixture, you will
grow up.
Imagine you are in a cool place and everything is going well
without hell anywhere around. Then, you tend to relax, kick your feet and intend to stay at that level for the rest
of your life. As we often say, life is good. Until we face a rude awakening and the things we counted on the most
are gone like bubbles bursting through our fingers. Then, we finally realize that hell burns in paradise. There
is thr crucible of fire in your experience and none can deny that. You may be walking on a bed of flame in an apparently
cool place.
Then, sometimes we step out of our paradise, all to realize
that hell is out of our paradise. We underestimate what we have and when it is gone or we are gone out of it, then we
realize that out there, it is all hell breaking loose. If God grants you a good life with your wife and your children,
while you are contemplating another life with someone else, think again. for, hell may be waiting for you out of your
paradise. And, remember this, hell comes with collateral damages that are far spread.
Yes, this is the sweetness of a great visionary. to be
able to visualize paradise through your hell of a time. See something good coming out of a bad situation. this
is what I mean by finding your paradise in your hell of situation. Believe that something good will come out of this
mess.
By the way, do not forget that paradise runs through hell.
In other words, it is through the fire of affliction that your character is refine to live a life of giving doen here.
the highway to paradise runs through hell and your destiny is ahead.
How can you tell that hell is coming to your paradise?
Can you tell when trouble is coming your way?
How can you tell paradise will follow your hell?
Paradise can be on top while hell burns below
