I have been thinking of death lately; this week on my mobile note, I penned down how I was feeling:
I actually do not have the fear of death, I am just concerned about what the news will do to my parents. So I pray I do not die untimely in Jesus name. More so, If I died today, would I be able to say to the father that I have done all that He wanted me to do while on earth.
The way I feel right now is because of the Holy spirit alive inside of me, the Holy Spirit who is a witness of the new life I have in Christ Jesus. I am rest assured that just as described by apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15:50-56 that my mortal body will be changed to an immortal one, my corruptible body will be changed to one that is incorruptible.
I have also thought about how I used to be scared of reading the book of Revelation from the bible. But now I read it in awe, in expectation of the glory I would see by the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ. If you were like me about years ago, fearful of death, afraid to read the last book of the bible, you should become friends with Jesus. Becoming friends with Him comes with the in filling of the Holy spirit who would raise our mortal bodies to become immortal ones on the last day – Romans 8:11
Although we may not want to come face to face with death just yet, I realize it can show up uninvited. Now it is not my intention to scare you with all this talk about death. I pray and declare that we shall not die but live to declare the works of God in the land of the living in Jesus name – Psalm 118:17. But Are we really ready for the end of time? Because it will definitely come either in the form of death or the coming of Jesus Christ.
And when it happens, we would be accountable for every single thing we did here on earth, how we spent our lifetime – these things would determine where our eternity will be spent.
I pray God helps us to have these consciousness and most importantly, I pray we make the right choices that we may spend eternity with Jesus Christ.
Amen.
