Death Day

Hi guys, so what I'm gonna be speaking or typing about is something most of us don't usually think about. A popular musician once said in one of his songs that 'nobody wants to die but we all want to go to heaven'. As much as that is just a song, its also the truth, I've heard people ask questions like "what scares you the most?" and most times (I mean like 80%) reply with "death". Now, I'm always wondering, everything in this life isn't certain, like you can't guarantee anything anything, because everything is subject to change.
However, join me to think on this, the only thing that doesn't change is the fact that death is coming for us all. I mean the physical death oh, before some people will start saying God forbid and be binding me upandan. Death is the most certain thing in our lives, its the only constant and here's what the Bible says about it:
Ecclesiastes 7:4 The Message (MSG)Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving. Fools waste their lives in fun and games
Hollup, sages means individuals that are even wiser than ordinary people, they have sense. They think more rationally than your normal John or Jane. I know of people that don't even reflect when someone dies, but the Bible says wise people invest themselves in hurt and grieving, they don't dwell in pain or crying around oh but they think of the impact they've made so far in their lives. They think of if they were to die at that present moment what would be their legacy, can their footsteps even be seen in the sands of time. I think when we hear of someone's death its not the time to be thinking of aso-ebi or how many cows to kill for the party, its a time to reflect on our lives.
I dunno what y'all think but why be scared of something you have no control over, the inevitable, why not pick a new fear, something that you can actually control, you can't stop death nor avoid it but you can stop and avoid yourself from going to hell. Think about it. Blessed are those that think about their death days than their birthdays.

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

Hypocritical Hypocrites!

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

Commitment 4?

Committed 4? Okay so the holidays are over and tomorrow we resume our serious lives. May the death of Christ put to death all our nasty habits and may the resurrection of Christ birth new and good ones in our lives. Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. Madam Ruth is my case study today, I just love this babe oh. To think of the tragedy that befell her, because when we speak of Ruth we only do justice to Naomi's devastation and we are quick to forget that Ruth also had a tragedy on her hands. She lost a husband to whom she bore no child for. Yet she just decided that she loved her mother in law so much and she'll happily serve her mother in law. She had no husband expectations but she resisted leaving like her sister in law and stayed with Naomi. She was like if na to chop indomie or if na to soak garri then let's go.  She was also endeared to Naomi's God an
