THE DAY YOU DIE...WHAT HAPPENS?

The day YOU die! Have you ever thought about it before?  

The day you die, you won't have to do anything,

People will gather to do everything for you!

They will be there, taking off your clothes and bathing you

And then wrapping your body with a shroud

Some will go around with heavy hearts

 Informing others that you're no more!!!

Many will come to your funeral

Some will leave their work, just to be present

Some of these will be the same ones who never really cared

Or thought of advising and showing you the right path

And there will be a few good ones who gave their best while you lived.

Some of your wealth will go to your family,

Some might even go to loved ones and 'smart friends'.

If you did good while bringing up your children,

They'll pay off your debts,

Otherwise, most of your belongings will be disposed

Or nicely donated to charity

Be sure of this one thing,

This whole world won't be sad you left

Nothing will stop, everything will continue,

 Just as normal as it is today and was yesterday!!!

People who truly loved you will feel sorry

Close friends will be sad for some time,

Family members will feel terrible for weeks, months or probably years.

Then everyone is back to their normal lives

And you'll be just a memory.

By then, no one will be worrying about you,

You'll be left alone in your grave,

Having nothing but your deeds, good or bad ones!!!

Truly speaking, many don’t really care how you feel now,

So how do you expect them to worry about you when you're far gone?

Is it these same people who care-less about life, body, soul and spirit

You try your very best to please today?

Even when it costs you disobeying God?

Don't be a fool !!!

The day YOU die, you will be left alone for judgement

Heaven or Hell could be your permanent residence for eternity

Depending on how well you live on earth

Accept Jesus now!

Love Him, walk in Him and with him!

No one deserves to be pleased at the expense of God’s word

Not even yourself!

The day you die, you’ll realise

Death is never the end

 It's just the real beginning!!!

This is an alarm, a call to alertness and vibrancy...It's a reminder to me first, because honestly I came to realise many things I wasn't conscious of. Dear friends, please be reminded that no one deserves anything that could make you sin and nothing worth it outside God, your creator! What the rest of the world thinks or says is just a minority, it is nothing compared to what God thinks so don’t let anyone intimate or influence negatively!  Give yourself to pleasing God in all you do, the bible says in Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.”

P.S. I really want to say a big thank you to my very good friend, Olugbenga Obaduyi for sharing this interesting write up with me. He sent me a message earlier saying “ I’m going to send you a write up now, read it, edit it, do justice to it and then share it on your blog”. I have done exactly what He said because I was really blessed by it and I think this is worth sharing. PLEASE DON’T JUST READ THIS, MAKE SURE YOU SHARE WITH OTHERS SO THEY CAN BE BLESSED TOO. Thank you.

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Much love,

WHERE AM I HEADING? HEAVEN OR HELL?

For some weird reason, since Goldie Harvey (A Nigerian Artist) passed away on Valentine's day, I have spent more time reflecting about life and life after death. I think her death made me realise how sudden death could be (it's not like I didn't know that before but the sudden death of a musician I knew nothing about really shook me). The truth is that I'm not afraid to die but what got me thinking was life after death. “If I died now, would I really wake up in heaven? Am I blameless before God or have I given the devil room to distract me?”  While I was reflecting one night, the Holy spirit really ministered to me, I was so blessed and I know it is worth sharing so here you go J

My Midnight Reflection: WOULD I MAKE HEAVEN?

The bible says in John 10:10 that the ministry of the devil is to steal, to kill and to destroy. One of my favourite pastors, Elder G. Craig Lewis further broke the verse down by explaining that the devil does these by stealing one's innocence, killing one's conscience and then destroying one's future.

The devil has little or no business trying to destroy a sinner because he/she is headed for hell anyway. We Christians are the devil's target! That cunning guy is constantly on the move strategising, skimming and plotting ways to devour us. He'll toy with our emotions, try to use our weaknesses to get us, he could try to get us through a friend, family member, boss or even a pastor. He could steal our innocence and kill our conscience by making us feel those 'little' sins and besetting sins do not really matter, and also give us good excuses to justify our unrighteous acts! Less I forget, sometimes he makes us so busy with 'church' activities and then we get too tired to spend quality time with God.

Too many of us are busy doing things in the house of God but are asleep spiritually! Wake up and smell the coffee Christians We are in those last days the bible talks about and Christ could return any moment from now. The devil isn't sleeping; he is doing everything in his power to make sure Christians leave the straight and narrow way. That's why the bible told us in 1Peter 5:8 to "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour"

This week, take time out to reflect! Are you really where God wants you to be spiritually? If the rapture happened now, would you make it? God forbid but if you die the next minute would you wake up in heaven or hell?

"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves." - 2 Corinthians 13:5a

Enjoy the rest of the week
