TOPIC: LIFE CAN CHANGE IN A BLINK OF AN EYE.
TEXT: (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
📖THE DISCOURSE 📖
I saw the reality that many people spend their lives trying to ignore.Death. Not in theory.Not in movies. Not in sermons. But in Real life. I suddenly realize that the things people fight over, kill one another destroy relationships over, envy each other over, are incredibly temporary. Vanity upon vanity. (Ecclesiastes 1:2) Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.The car someone is killing himself to impress people with One day it will drive behind a hearse.
The house someone built with pride…
One day people will gather there for a condolence visit.The body people spend years idolizing… One day it will lie lifeless on a cold metal table in the mortuary.
Life is short. Purpose is urgent. Eternity is real. No repentance in the grave. It is now while you are alive. Some of the people inside those freezers in the mortuary probably had plans for next week like: meetings, projects, Appointments. Dreams. But life had other plans. And every day I asked myself a question as the preacher???
If my own body was wheeled into that mortuary tomorrow, what would my life have stood for? I watched my late wife – Ruth- been wheeled into a mortuary and I wept badly but I looked back to her track records and I realized she was an angel in human form. Can the same be said of you???. Back to the discussion. Not noise, not popularity, Not social media, no impressions. But impact. That season recalibrated my thinking forever. I believe it should recalibrate your thinking too.
It taught me that the clock of destiny is always ticking, even when we are wasting time arguing about irrelevant things. In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often, love with all your heart and take no one for granted, because you never know what may happen tomorrow. May Almighty Yahuah grant you the longevity of purposeful life on planet earth in Jesus Christ’s name 🙏.
Some people reading this are waiting for the perfect time to obey God’s instructions. *The perfect time to start the assignment. *The perfect time to preach. The perfect time to forgive*. *The perfect time to reconcile. The perfect time to become serious with God*.
Time is the most valuable thing in life. Once it’s gone, it never comes back . Use your time wisely and do things that matter. Don’t waste it on regrets or laziness . Every moment is a chance to improve and learn to grow. Respect time and it will bring success and happiness. Know this fact, Life does not always announce when it is ending. The people inside those cold rooms in the mortuary didn’t plan it that way. And yet there they were. Which means one thing. The greatest tragedy in life is not death, the greatest tragedy is reaching the end of life and discovering you never truly lived for what mattered. As one preacher noted that the greatest GOLD MINE IS THE GRAVE YARD where many unfilled dreams, Doctors, lawyers, engineers, investors, inverters etc, lie wasted
We are all on a journey or market place on planet earth that has an end. One day at a time we should all be dealing with. We can’t go back to yesterday and we can’t control tomorrow. So live for today.
Please let’s ponder on this, Life on planet earth is an echo. What you send out, comes back to you. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you. Do not judge, so you will not be judged. Radiate and give love and love will come back to you. Let’s live right in the light of eternity in Heaven with Jesus Christ. Period . Repent now and do the needful
In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you. Some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it is worth it. If you are challenged by this sermon then wake up now. I’m not saying having GOOD THINGS OF LIFE IS BAD BUT HOW YOU GO ABOUT ITS ACQUISITION AND WHAT DO YOU WITH IT!. Jesus Christ death should stood for???
WATCH AND PRAY.
……..The prayer…
🙏🏻📖🙏🏻 Holy Father Grant me the grace to remain diligent and consistent and let Your favour rest upon everything I lay my hands to do and help me to locate those you want me to reach with material, financial and in love in Jesus Christ’s name 🙏. SHALOM! Win your day and let love lead you sincerely.
