```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: TOO LOST TO BE FOUND Pt. 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Revelation  3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Proverbs  14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When certain things are lost, they can be found but when some other things are lost, they can never be found. Virginity brings dignity and there is a reward tag placed on it but when lost in premarital sex, it can never be restored back neither can the benefits be gotten back.

People toy with the mercy of God but think nothing will happen to them in return. God works by His grace but how is it that, God never gave Ananias and Saphira another chance to repent? Were they not believers and why should they be judged and condemned to rot in hell based on that act? Was it because they were worst sinners than many of us?

What was God saying to us through the parable of the prodigal son? Was it just that God can forgive any sin? Or is there anything we need to know that our hearts haven't seen and comprehended from that story?

Mary was a woman who found favour just like any other woman but if she had defiled herself a day before the angel came unto her, she would have lost that favour never to have such again.

Mary's case was not farfetched, if she defiled herself, no matter the kind of mercy God showed to her, she can never be permitted to carry Jesus in  her womb, God will have to look for someone else to confer that order of favour upon because it would have been too lost to be found.

Joseph would have ended in honour too even if he agreed to Portiphar's wife opinion, but the honour he would have enjoyed would not have been the kind the Lord wanted him to enjoy in life.

People look at the example of the prodigal son and draw this silly conclusion, "Yes, God will forgive me when I do this thing so I can go ahead and just do it since I'll confess after I have done it", but such people also forgets the case of Ananias and Saphira, it wasn't under the law that they were smitten, was Jesus not crucified? Why then were they judged and sent to hell without another chance for repentance. Flee all appearances of evil!
