THE UNPROFITABLE PROFIT: GAINS THAT BANKRUPT THE SOUL PART 10: THE SECOND COMING — WHEN TIME RUNS OUT

THE UNPROFITABLE PROFIT: GAINS THAT BANKRUPT THE SOUL

PART 10: THE SECOND COMING — WHEN TIME RUNS OUT


Revelation 1:7

“Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him…”  


In Part 9, we faced the reality of the great separation. We learned that: Everything you gain on earth will stay behind. Only your soul crosses into eternity. What you prioritized in life determines where you stand after. When the separation happens… only your soul continues.


There is one event that will end every argument…silence every excuse…and settle every question. The return of Jesus Christ.

Not a story. Not a theory. Not a distant idea. A reality. And when it happens…time will not pause. It will end.


The Second Coming — When Time Runs Out

Right now, there is time. Time to adjust. Time to return. Time to realign. But there is coming a moment when: Time will no longer be available. Opportunities will no longer exist. Decisions will no longer be reversible. Because the return of Christ is not just an event…It is the closing of the door.


The Delay

Kojo always believed he had time. He wasn’t against God. He just wasn’t ready to fully commit. “I’ll get serious later,” he would say. “Let me settle a few things first.” “There’s still time.” And life moved on.

Opportunities came. Success grew. Life expanded. But his spiritual life stayed on hold. Conviction came—but he delayed. Moments came—but he postponed. Until one day…Everything changed. Not gradually. Not predictably. Suddenly.

The moment he always assumed was far…was now present. And in that instant, one realization struck him: The time he thought he had… was gone. No preparation. No adjustment. No second chance. Just reality. Because delay does not stop time… it only wastes it.


What Really Happened?

Kojo didn’t reject God. He postponed Him. And that is one of the most dangerous decisions a person can make.

Because: You can intend to change… and never do it. You can plan to return… and never arrive. You can assume time… and run out of it. He gained time for himself…but lost time with God. He gained space for other things…but lost readiness. Because the greatest mistake is not saying no to God…it is saying “later.” 


The Urgent Truth

Many are living like Kojo: Delaying obedience. Postponing surrender. Assuming tomorrow. But the return of Jesus Christ will not be scheduled around your readiness. It will come… whether you are prepared or not.


Reflection

Ask yourself:

What am I postponing that I should be addressing now?

Am I truly ready… or just assuming I have time?

If today was that day… where would I stand?

Because tomorrow is not promised…and eternity cannot be postponed.


Call to Action

Do not delay.

Return now

Realign now

Respond now

Don’t wait for a more convenient time.

Don’t assume a later opportunity.

Because when time runs out…only what you did with your soul will matter.


Prayer

Lord, help me not to delay what matters most. Where I have postponed my response to You, awaken me. Give me the urgency to act now and the wisdom to prepare for eternity. Let my life reflect readiness, not assumption. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Part 11: The Eternal Verdict — When the Soul Finds Its Final Place

After the return… after time runs out… there is something final:

The verdict.

In the next part, we will confront the moment where eternity is no longer a possibility… but a reality already decided.

Where excuses end.

Where truth is revealed.

And where every soul finds its final place.

God is speaking… are you listening?

WHEN THE ROBE COMES OFF: HONORING THE HUMANITY OF GOD’S SERVANTS PART 7: FINAL LAP: STANDING IN THE GAP — THE URGENCY OF INTERCESSION  1 Kings 19:4 Ezekiel 22:30 “I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the sake of the land, that I would not destroy it, but I found no one [not even one].” (AMP) Becoming Watchmen Over God’s Servants Recap of Part 6: Yesterday, we exposed the reality that some ministers are hiding secret sins—not because they don’t love God, but because they don’t feel safe to confess. We were reminded to pray, not punish, and to cover, not cancel. Heaven is still searching. God is still looking. Not for another preacher. Not for another platform. But for a gap stander. An intercessor. A spiritual defender of those who are too exhausted to pray for themselves. Throughout this devotional, we've uncovered the hidden battles of pastors and ministers—the emotional lows, the secret temptations, the heavy loneliness, t...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

THE LIFE CYCLE OF SIN AS CHILDBEARING PART 18 - FINAL LAP

Image
THE LIFE CYCLE OF SIN AS CHILDBEARING PART 18 - FINAL LAP  James 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. RECAP OF PART 17 In the last chapter, we explored how lustful desires act as “sugar overload,” offering fleeting pleasure but leaving a lasting emptiness. In this final lap, we’ll focus on Bitterness and Unforgiveness (Processed Foods)—revealing how these toxic emotions quietly build up, harden our hearts, and block us from fully experiencing God’s love and peace. 4. Bitterness and Unforgiveness (Processed Foods) Bad for Growth: Holding on to bitterness and unforgiveness is like consuming processed, artificial foods during pregnancy. These “foods” provide no nourishment and only fill the body with toxins, leading to long-term damage. Scripture Reference: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” — Ephesians 4:31 (NIV) This verse calls us to remov...
