THE SECOND DEATH

I never knew a man could die twice. I mean someone giving up the ghost twice, This sounds very funny, unrealistic and at the same time it sounds strange. Everybody is aware of the situation when a man is proclaimed dead. First and foremost, such individual cannot breathe again, move his or her body in short the person is lifeless. When this tragic event occurs to an individual, such is to be taken away from his/her loved ones and buried. I am extremely sure this is the understanding most of us have when we hear that a person is dead.
Talking of the second death, does it now means that such person who has earlier died will repeat the same process? A candid answer to this can be found in the books of revelations 20:14. We were made to understand what the second death indicates. Scripturally, it means the lake of fire. Here, we were told that anyone whose name will not be found in the book of Life such individual will experience the second death. How is it to for a person to have a portion in this? revelation 21:8 reveals totally the set of individuals who will partake in the second death.
Brethren, we all are living today, nobody knows the outcome of tomorrow and it is an undisputed fact that death is the end of all humans and as such there will be a detailed account of what we must have done here on earth which is a major determinant of either being launched into everlasting enjoyment that is eternal life or the second death which is the lake of fire. Have we had a deep thought about our live beyond this universe? I do not want to accept that some of us are oblivious that there is a life after this one we all are living. Are we sure some of our deeds here on earth would not make us warrant the second death? We were made to see in the books of revelations 20:8 the unpalatability of the second death.
In conclusion, the bible reveals in the book of revelations 20:6 the blessings that would follow those that would not partake in the second death. I am imploring us that we should evaluate ourselves and get rid of atrocities that might make us fall victim of the second death. I pray this will not be our portion in Jesus name. Amen

PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, I pray that I shall not be a victim of the second death, the ability to work towards eternal life you give unto me. Amen

Workers in the vineyard

 When I was younger, I remembered visiting a marble company, There I saw different stages of how the marble is being processed and finally done. I remembered that the several stages in the production was allocated to different people to ensure a smooth and successful completion of the marble. While I was reading through the books of Mathew 20, the phrase workers in the vineyards caught my attention and this reminded me of my introductory story. Here, we are made to see an illustration of individuals working in a vineyard to achieve a common goal and how they are  paid the same wages at the end of the day. What does this mean to us as believers? just as the bible records it in 1 Cor 12: 1-27, we are all different parts of the same body working towards the same goal of populating the kingdom of God, we should not overestimate ourselves. In Mathew 20, the bible records it that those that have been working in the vineyard since dawn and those who just joined an hour to the end of ...

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

THE WORD OF LIFE

Hearing about the word of life what really rings in one's head at first? At first, one could be like which one is a word that has life. Honestly speaking it sounds somehow and one could even be thinking that so the words we speak or hear now has life, interesting! The word scripturally signifies the Father Himself ( John1:1). No wonder we have it that in the beginning was the word, the word was with God and God Himself was the word. Going further, the word of God i.e God Himself is life and that life is the light of men. This simply means that the word of God brings life to an individual who studies the word and the life brings light which shines in this world that we live in. The word of God is of no doubt an all rounder. When we study the word of God, we get to know the mind of God Himself and when this happens and getting to know this we get formed just the way the word wants us to according to His will. In the books of ( Hebrews 4;12), we were made to see the efficacy of the wo...
