The opportunity to die or a wasted life

-


Imagine if you were given five weeks to live, will you see it as an opportunity to die or a wasted life? Before you think I'm suicidal, hear me out.

If you were given 5 weeks to live, what would you do?

Would you see it as an opportunity to do right by you, your faith, and God? So that when you die, you know you will be knocking on heaven's door.

At this point, you get on your knees to confess every sin and wrong thing you may have done.  To clear the path to heaven and reach the place of everlasting peace and wonder.

A place of sanctuary and glory.   I call it an opportunity to die because you are giving a chance, as well as time to make things right.   An opportunity to right your wrong and be right with God. 

An opportunity to ensure that your heaven is sure.  Instead of having the uncertainty that hell may very well be the price that you will pay for the life you lived.

However, if you see this as a waste of life, then the question is why? Why do you see it as a waste of life?

Is it because you feel you never lived or rather you never got the chance to achieve the goals you set out for yourself?

Is true living defined as living on the verge of  Yolo rather than a mundane life of the same old routine day after day?  Never taking risks or being spontaneous. Not even once! Perhaps that is how you were wired to be.

What is life then?  If it is lived on the verge of  Yolo but wasted spiritually?  That when we die, our souls are damned to hell for eternity!!

If you ask me, having five weeks left to live is seen as an opportunity to die rather than a wasted life.  

Why?  Well, you see, my ducks will be put in a row and I will ensure that my spirituality is in order. 

So that when death comes, the next face I see, is the face of Christ my creator. Instead of the face of the devil my adversary.

Perhaps 5 weeks was given because God knew if you lived any further, you wouldn't make it to Him.  Life is all about perception.  How we perceive things is very important.  It determines our mental state and capability to function...

God's Magnificent Love towards us

-

I think 🤔 one of the most important things I have learnt in life is God's magnificent love towards us.  I don't mean feeling or knowing He loves us, but understanding and having knowledge of His love towards us.  I have always struggled with faith and struggled with accepting where I am and where God has taken me.   I have always complained about this and that, never satisfied with what I have and what God has given me. Never wondering if there are lessons to be learned in all these and reasons for God doing what He is doing. Nevertheless,  when I began to gain knowledge and understanding of God's love, it led me to a better understanding of faith and who God is. I mean His love is so pure and so true that His thoughts towards us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end!  EXPECTED NOT UNEXPECTED! Meaning an end that is going to happen. When we have an understanding and knowledge of the love God has for us, we can trust Him and have complete faith in Him. He l

The Principle of Free Will and The Invincible Forces That Govern This World

-
Last year on this blog, I wrote about the fault being in us and not in our stars and how our actions are a ripple effect that governs the things that will eventually take place in our lives. I spoke on the principle of sowing and reaping. However, since then, I have come to realize that there is much more to life than us and the decisions we make. Whether we choose to believe it, we do not govern ourselves. There is a reason why the bible states that the whole world lies under the influence of the evil one. Ephesians 2:1-3 states that  God quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past, we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. As you can see, free will

The fault is in Us

Shakespeare was right when he said that the fault is not in our stars but in us. The fault is indeed in us.  We are the problem.  And instead of us taking responsibility for our own actions, we choose to shift that responsibility to "fate".  An invincible force that supposedly determines the steps of human life..   This is what we refer to as our stars!  I believe in God and I believe He directs our steps when we choose His will and His way.  But most times, we tend to use the concept of free will to argue ourselves out of holes we used our own hands to dig ourselves into.   Look at the children of today! They are growing up with no role models, protection, or direction.  They are growing up in a world that has been perverted.  A world where some people want to consider pedophilia as a sexual trait instead of a crime.  Free will and the freedom to do as one pleases has been taken so much out of context, that people commit crimes based on rights.   We have created laws with lo
