Every believer in Christ is saved to ring the gospel bell. You are to ring the gospel bell all the days; ring it while you are at work and ring it everywhere you go. We are saved as children of light to ring out the news that Jesus came to take our sins away. We are to ring the gospel bells announcing to the unsaved people that the Holy Spirit says come unto me all you that thirst for the water of life and drink freely.

The mandate to the children of God is to ring the bells of Heaven all over the world; and as we ring, all Heaven joins us in saying, Come to the Lord; come to His love, His righteousness and His holiness. Come, come, come! And let him that heareth the bell, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17).

The great message is going forth: Come, you who are hungry and thirsty. Come, you who want salvation and eternal life. Come. Can you hear Heaven’s bells? In 2 Peter 3:8-9, the Bible warns that you should not let eternity escape your notice thinking that the day of Christ return to rapture the saints’ home will never come. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise of coming back to rapture the saints home and punish sinners who refused to accept Jesus Christ. The Lord is patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

God never intended that anyone will perish in Hell but rather that all men shall be saved unto righteousness. In Ezekiel 33:11, the Bible says, “Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’”

The day of the Lord is drawing nearer than you think. It is my prayer for you to hear the gospel bell and heed to its calling and be saved out of darkness into the kingdom of His marvelous light. God’s intention to all mankind is also expressed in Romans 13:12, which says, “The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” God’s desire is that all men shall be saved from their sins. 1 Timothy 2:4 says, “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Don’t be like Jezebel who had an opportunity to turn away from her wickedness but she blew it away. The Bible says in Revelation 2:21, “Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.” Please I plead with you today, don’t be unwilling to heed to the gospel bell ringing in your heart calling you to repent from your sins so that you may receive eternal gift of salvation.

There are many dangers of sin. Your life span can be drastically cut short by sin (Numbers 20:12) and sin can rob you of a fulfilled life here on earth: There was a bishoprick throne kept for Judas but sin robbed him of his glory here on earth (Acts 1:20).The door of Heaven is about to be closed and there’s just one flight out. The Bible tells us, the Spirit says let him that thirst come and drink freely of the water of life (Revelation 22:17).
Today’s Nugget: The gospel bell is ringing saying: come out of darkness
Prayer: I heed to the call of the gospel bell.
