The Dangers of Costly Assumption

Rev'd G. S. Adeyemo 

Assumption is the mother of most mistakes that beclouds judgement and leads to misguided and regrettable actions. Assumption is taken for granted that we know something that we don’t. We assume because of our imaginations, past experiences, or wishful thinking. Also we do it because we don’t have all the information that we need, and our minds like to fill in the blanks. 

 Do you assume God will be so furious about your sin on the judgement day and in anger throws you beyond hell fire. This is very costly assumption as God doesn’t need to throw you before you enter hell fire. The Bible says, “Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:” (Isaiah 5: 14, 15 KJV) (emphasis mine) 

Do you assume God understands your excuses for unresolved grudges against your fellow brother or sister? Do you assume your indecent dresses doesn’t matter after all others are dressing to their church like that? Do you assume no one sees you in the private where you are planning and committing evils? God is all-knowing and ever present wherever you are. The Psalmist says, “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” (Ps 139:7-8 KJV) There is danger in assumption especially concerning your eternity in heaven. The greatest danger is that you will not have control over the judgement neither will you have a second chance to mend your ways. Delay is dangerous; To avoid the dangers of costly assumption, take the following steps: 

1. Be prayerful about every information and revelation 

2.Be precise in response to your situation and circumstances 

3.Be ready to forsake your sinful lifestyle 4.Be ready to confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour 

5.Invite the Holy Spirit of God into your life. He will seal you and guide you in all things even to the end of your life. 

 6.Join a bible believing Church where you can fellowship and grow in the spirit. As you take these steps, the Holy Spirit will register your name in the Book of life and you remain blessed in Jesus name.
