₦ Sermon 14
(A Sermon Preached by Fortune Emerence Chinemerem Nwaiwu)
“Remember Lot’s Wife” — Luke 17:32
Our lord Jesus, in the course of telling his disciples the time of his second coming bids them to remember Lot’s wife. He really tries to let his disciples know how terrible the day of his returning will be and they should take precaution of what has happened to people like the wife of Lot who was a member of professing believers.
At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah was about to be destroyed, the angels of the Lord ordered Lot and his wife and two daughters to run away from the land and should not look back. This solemn warning was not headed by lot’s wife. She disobeyed and looked back and she turned into a pillar of salt.
The reasons why Lot’s wife looked back might be —
She remembered her friends in Sodom and Gomorrah —It seems that she was associating herself with unbelievers in Sodom and Gomorrah. James says adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” — 4:4.
She enjoyed and had pleasures in the things of Sodom and Gomorrah. Paul says she that giveth her life to pleasure is dead while she liveth —1 timothy 5:6
Our lessons
Remember that Lot’s wife was running the heavenly race but along the line, she stumbled and could not make it. She was disqualified and become a pillar of useless salt because she disobeyed by looking back to the things she previously denounced.
There are some or many things that can hinder us from entering the kingdom of God — the love of money and the pleasure of this world. If we focus on the things of the world, we are like Lot’s wife. She loved the things of Sodom and Gomorrah. She might have said why is it that the angels are destroying her property and many good things in Sodom and Gomorrah.
