TOPIC:  IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

Text: Revelation 20:12, 15

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Revelation 20:15 and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

            Your name will not appear in the book of life you don’t receive Jesus as your lord and personal savior. Another way for your name to appear in the book of life is to receive Jesus by receiving and believing his word. Now in Revelation 20:12 carefully, you will find out that the dead are those that have died. The book the bible scriptures is referring to belongs to each of those who has died and whatever they did when they were alive on planet earth was recorded in their books. As long as you are alive just know that you have a book and any thing you are doing whether good or bad will be recorded in your book from the day you know what is good and evil till the day you breathe your last.

Question: Is Your Name Written In The Lamb's Book Of Life! Yes or No, Think about it

Text: EXODUS 32:33

WARNING: No One Should Argue About This Message, Lest He or She Provoke The Holy Spirit of God To Anger...what you are about to hear JUST OBEY

We shall divide this message in three (3) different Points for better understanding about the book of life

1. What is this Book of Life & the Different Names the Bible Calls It.

2. What it means for one's name to be blotted out & removed from the Book of Life.

3. Falsehood about the Book of Life.

>>> 1. WHAT IS THIS BOOK OF LIFE & THE DIFFERENT NAMES THE BIBLE CALLS IT:

In Exodus 32:33 was the FIRST MENTION of the "Book of Life" - The Book of God in which all the names of the righteous are written. It is referred to throughout the Scriptures under various terms, being called:

i). Moses called it 'THY BOOK' in Exodus. 32:33

ii). God called it 'MY BOOK' in Exodus. 32:33

iii). Daniel called it 'THE BOOK' in Daniel 12:1

iv). Malachi also called it 'THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE' in Mal.3:16.

v). Apostle Paul called it 'THE BOOK OF LIFE' in Philippians.4:3; Jesus also in Revelation.3:5; 13:8; 17:8; 20:11-15; 22:18-19.

vii). Jesus called it 'THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE' in Rev.21:27.

***The Scripture made mention of THE BOOK OF GOD about Twelve (12) Times to prove to us that the BOOK OF LIFE is REAL & it is in HEAVEN as Jesus told his disciples in LUKE 10:20 that:

"...Rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto u; but rather, REJOICE, BCOS UR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN!"

>>> 2. WHAT IT MEANS FOR ONE'S NAME TO BE "BLOTTED" OR "REMOVED" OUT OF THE GOD'S BOOK OF LIFE?

* To "BLOT" means to 'clear' - a complete cancellation & an annulment of whatsoever was blotted out or removed.

* A name being BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE clearly means that it is NO LONGER IN THE BOOK; Likewise, as a sinner when u come to Jesus for cleansing, sins that are 'blotted out' of your life are no longer held against u (Read Ps.51:1,9; Isa.43:25; 44:22; Acts 3:19).

* The Scripture teaches plainly that God blots the names of SINNERS out of HIS HOLY BOOK in Exodus 32:33. The Psalmist predicted it to happen to Judas Iscariot in Ps.69:20-28. CHRIST warned of it regarding all who would not overcome temptation to sin that their names will be removed completely from the Book of Life (Rev.3:5; 22:18-19).

Reasons why a believer’s name is not written in the book of life

Someone may ask a question, what are the things we do on planet earth that makes my name to be blotted out of the book of life reasons

1.    Illegal marriage: it is practiced between two unmarried couples which is called sin of fornication. Any believer who practices such things his/her name will completely removed from the book of life. God is not a respecter of persons.  Any marriage without the parent consent by refusing to pay dowry is said to be illegal marriage.  An illegal marriage is when a man forcefully takes a woman to his house without the consent of the parents. This means God will see both couples as fornicators not husband and wife. If you want God to see you as husband and wife then you need to do a restitution by paying your dowry and seek the consent of the parents likewise church wedding. 1 Corinthians 7:1

2.    Divorce and remarrying: this is common when a couple is married and later separate in marriage. The bible calls it adultery. Any on guilty of these his/her name will not be in the book of life.

Matt 5:32 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

3.   Failure to do your Restitution: Restitution is the act of restoring anything to its rightful owner or act of

given an equivalent for loss or damage. Means giving back or return of something to its rightful owner. Also restitution can be defined as paying back compensation for a loss, damage, or injury On the other   hand restitution means give something back, return something to previous condition God forgives when    

we repent but he requires us to make amends to any person we have injured or wronged by sinning. Restitution makes a person pay back just debts, restore stolen or misappropriated articles, uncover his crimes and confess his lies. This is to be done whether the person is injured knew or not. God knows.

Luke 19:5-8

4.     Unforgiveness: Unforgiveness is one of the major sins that blots out a believer’s name from the book of life. Mark 11:25-26; Matthew 5:44; 1 John 2:9 -11; 1 John 4:20

5.    Ungodly music: is a kind of music that gives honour and glory to the devil. If a believer indulges him/herself into this kind of musics. His/her name will automatically be blotted out of the book of life within less than a second Ecclesiastes 7:5; Colossians 3:16

6.    Illegal business: any business that has to do with the selling of alcoholol, dubious act, excessive gain, seductive clothings lying means and promoting the gospel of satan whosoever that is indulge in it his/her name will not appear in the book of life.

7.   Failure to pay your tithes and offering: any believer who claims to be born-again and refuse to pay his/her tithes and offerings his/her name will permantely deleted from the lamb’s book of life: Malachi 3:8-9

8.    Despising God’s days: if as a believer you don’t attend weekly services or you even come late both in weekly and Sundays services and you don’t come to church at all your name will not be qualify in the lamb’s book of life

9.   Despising the poor: if as a born-again believer you refuse to give to the poor and you despise them your name will not appear in the book of life Deuteronomy 15:8 – 11, Proverb 19:17;28:27, Matthew 25:31-48

10. Carless dressing/seductive clothing: any woman believer who dress carless and seductive such as half naked clothing in order to cause defilement among men automically deletes her name from the lamb’s book of life. Exodus 20:26, Zephaniah 1:8 examples of seductive/half naked clothing’s are armpit-exposing blouses, breast exposing blouses, legging, trousers, split skirts, back exposing blouses, pencil skirts, curve skirts, waist-tight shirts which makes your curves attractive, stomach exposing blouses, bomb-shots, short-nicker, transparent blouses, short skirts/skirts above ankle level. Any female believer who refuse to comply to God’s standard of dressing is not fit for the kingdom of God and such will definitely has the license to end up in hell or miss the rapture.

11. Drinking of alcohol: Lev 10:9, Proverb 20:1, Isaiah 5:11,22; Luke 1:15

12.Homosexualism and lesbianism (illegal marriage): Homosexualism is practice when a man have sex with his fellow men, lesbianism is practiced when a woman has sex with her fellow woman. This is an abomination unto the Lord and any believer found guilty or any minister of God that legalize it. His/her name will be automatically blot out from the Lamb’s book of life. Leviticus 18:22; 2 Timothy 3:2a

13. Artificial appearance: this is a sin that change the glory and image of God in a believer’s life such as tattoo design, attachments, wool, thread plating, ear-rings, nose-rings, neck chains, gold teeth, wedding rings, hair-rings. Any believer who practice it will not inherit God’s kingdom, Romans 1:23, 26 1 Peter 3:3-4. God’s warning on ornaments, Exodus 33:4-6. Also material decoration is a sin when attached to your hair such as hair ribbon, hair-packing, and hair attachment clips. Reject these things so your name will be in the book of Life

14.Names attached to idols will not appear in the book of life: Zech 13:2

15. Be under the shelter of wrong/false ministers and false churches. Jesus warns us that we should beware of false prophets, pastors, ministers who comes to you in sheep’s clothing Matthew 24:11-12, Matthew 24:24. Any believer that is guilty of this automatically erases his/her name completely from the lamb’s book of life. Especially any church that does not preaches the standard of God in the bible.   

 2 John 1:10 – 11. If we look carefully in 2 John 1:10-11. God warns us that we should not be under the shelter of any man or woman of God that does not conform’s to God’s standard including any minister of God who don’t preach the true word of God. Jesus Christ says we should beware and flee from them lest you be deceived and that alone will count your name out of the book of life.

16. Failure to give God’s warning to others: Ezekiel 33:8-9; 3:17-18. If as a born-again believer you refuse to give God’s warning to your neigbour’s, friend’s, colleges or anyone who refuse to apply God’s standard in his or her life by refusing to give God’s warning to them you will be held accountable and your name will not appear in the book of life including any born-again Christian that is quiet about their sinful nature of their ungodly church members, families, neigbours and friends.

17. Despising revelational messages: if as a believer you despise God’s revelational message face to face encounter with Jesus) or you don’t believe in it at all. That alone will erase your name completely from the book of life. Luke 16:27-31. Any church, leader, pastor or member who is not in support in it should not expect God’s revelational visitation among them 1 Corinthians 2:9-10,

18. Lack of evangelism: if as a believer you don’t evangelise or have passion to promote the work of God in order to win souls to the kingdom of God. your name is not fit to be in the book of life: 1 Corinthians 9:16

19. Failure to take care of God’s servants: as a believer you must take care of God’s servant this is very mandatory to all those who gave their life to Jesus. Failure to do so erases a believer name from the book of life:

20. Promoting the work of the devil: this is done by encouraging someone to sin Micah 2:1. In the world today 97-98% of truly born-again believers are not showing interest in the things of God. Rather their affection are in the things of the devil. Colossians 3:2

21.Praying using material than the name of Jesus: whosoever is guilty of this his/her name will not be in the book of life example of items used to pray is use of olive oil(except is used to anoint the sick), candles, images, and so many others. The bible never teaches us how to pray using these things. Remember how Jesus teaches is disciples how to pray. Luke 11:1-4. Also the use of oil to anoint the sick the bible recommended it see Mark 6:12 – 13 also in James 5:14 the word of God tells us that we should pray for the sick anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. Not to use it to bath, drink it, or pouring it on the corners of your office, door-steps. Although there are some churches that don’t use oil. They believe strongly in the name of Jesus to pray for the sick that’s is ok also the bible recommend us to pray for the sick using the name of Jesus just as the apostles perform miracles, signs and wonders using the name of Jesus.

22.Familiar spirits and witch crafts: this is one of the weapon the devil gives to his/her agent to fight against the work of God. It is unfortunate that some true born-again Christian posses this character by using this possessed demonic gift to fight the true child of God also the work of God. Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, Proverbs 8:36

23. Refusing to pay your vows: it is a sin if you don’t redeem your vows and pledges. Numbers 30:2, Deuteronomy 23:21 – 23, Ecclesiastes 5:4-5. Any Christian who vow and refuse to pay. His/her name will not appear in the book of life.

>>> FALSEHOOD ABOUT THE BOOK OF LIFE:

It is so unfortunate & sad to say that there are MODERN FALLACIES & PHILOSOPHERS OF RELIGION that tell us of the satanic doctrine of "ETERNAL SECURITY" which says:

i - Once saved, you are forever saved

ii - Once your name is in the book of life, it will forever be there

iii - Once Jesus have forgiven your sins, it doesn't matter what u do next after that, the Blood of Jesus & the Grace of God will cover it for u even though u go back to sin, God won't regard it.

NOW, THIS IS THE GREATEST ERROR & FALLACIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL FIRE.

LET GOD BE TRUE & ALL MEN, DEVILS & DEMONS BE LIARS.

Shall we continue in sin that Grace of God may abound, GOD FORBID. God confirmed to Moses in Exodus.32:32-33 that names can & will be blotted out of the Book of Life when men sin & incur the eternal death penalty for sin.
