The righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not, all have a common destiny, and we cannot run beyond our destination. Whether we like it or not, we will all die. Both the rich and the poor, we are all going to die nothing in this world will last forever, everything has it own time. This world we are will soon fade away, a day is coming when this world will no longer be of existence. This world will pass away no matter what, God has already said it in His word, and one of His word will not go unfulfilled, what then is our gain when even the place we are now is not for eternal but is just for a time.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die.
Sometimes I will just be communicating with God, telling Him that, God and a day is coming when I will leave this world, a day is coming when my parents will leave this world, a day is coming when I will loose my love one's, a day is coming when no man will exist in this world, a day is coming when this world will be no more, I will be repeating this statement again and again. But one thing I realised is that when you are longing for the things that are above, you will hate the things of this world. And all the good things of this world will be meaningless to you, because you are no more working in the flesh but in the spirit.
It is the help of the holy spirit you can be longing for the kingdom of God not by flesh. And you know that where your treasure is, there your heart will always be.
The rich and the poor they are going to die one day, don't let us use this world to spoil the eternal home. The scripture also made us to understand that when Lazarus and the rich man die, they took nothing with them, but their works follow them. the rich man was in hell fire crying for help, while Lazarus was in the bossom of Abraham in Heaven, the two man where both justified by their works.
Then we, knowing all these things that one day we are going to leave this meaningless life, and after death we have two options, the way to life and the way to eternal damnation. We cannot choose when will get there, but our work will follow us to our grave, all our good deeds and bad deeds. Every body will be judge by is work and no second chance. Even the rich man begged God for second chance, but he was not given to Him. This one chance we have don't let us misuse it, that great day what will be our end when will find ourselves in hell fire prepared for the disobedient one's.
Sometimes, when I sleep and wake up and I find that am still alive, I will give thanks unto God who Has kept me alive. Those that are better than us are no more, but His sufficient grace kept us alive.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: always have it at the back of your mind that this world is not for eternal, is just for a short time. Every creature in this world that has life is going to die one day, no matter how powerful and how strong we are, we are going to leave this world. If you have money, you will die, you cannot use money to buy life, and if your don't have money you will also die.
Knowing all these, if we loose Heaven, the eternal place, we are going to blame ourselves and we will be the one to regret.
All this things have been saying is that we should not loose the Kingdom of God. If we like it or not, we are going to die, let us put God first in all our doings. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Lastly, let us be longing for God's kingdom, that is our gain and inheritance in this world.
God will continue to enlighten us more in His word and God's grace will not depart from us all in Jesus name. Amen.
