DISQUALIFICATIONS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Text: I Corinthians 6:9-11 There 3 surprises in Heaven Those whom you think that will be there are not there. Those whom you expect not to be there, are there. Worst surprise is, if your name is not there.

AIM: For us to not be deceived when the bible tells us, “THE UNRIGTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD”. I. LET’S TAKE A LOOK ONE BY ONE THE DISQUALIFICATIONS: The unrighteous-v 9 Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

8. Drunkards-a person who is frequently or habitually drunk 1Pe 4:3 For we [have spent] enough of our past lifetime [fn] in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 9.

15. Jealousies- Resentful or bitter in rivalry; envious: 16.

22. And the like II. THE GRACE OF GOD-V 11 And such were some of you But you were washed Yu were sanctified You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. III. EXTREME WARNING OR PRECAUTION DO NOT BE DECEIVED THOSE WHO PRACTICE SUCH SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD -V 10; Gal 5:21 Do not think or believe because you go to church, you go to heaven.

Do not be deceived because you believed and have accepted the Lord Jesus you go to heaven. When He comes back, He is no longer a Saviour but a Judge. IV. THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION -Romans 8:1 Rom 7:20 Now if I do what I will not [to do], it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Rom 7:25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

V. REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND-Matthew 4:17 Mat 3:10 "And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. The Ninivites were saved when they repent Ahab was spared when he repent 1Ki 21:25 But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up.

1Ki 21:27 So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning. 1Ki 21:28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 1Ki 21:29 "See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house."

CHALLENGE: Will you just ignore God’s Word today and go to hell? CONCLUSION: 1Cr 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 1Cr 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
