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

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 Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will fo...

WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT THE CREATION

                                      The Bible records in the books of Genesis the account of the creation. In the very first verse of the first chapter, it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". This is an automatic revelation that God is the Creator of all creations. We can simply say he is the brain behind every creation and invention in the entire universe. This is also supported by the Book of John chapter 1 which revealed God created everything in the world by His word and this same word was God Himself. What a marvel! Also, the book reveals that it was this same word that gave life to everything that was created, and this life was the light of men which means before His predominance there was darkness all over.  One thing that baffles me is that God made man the head of His creation, why do men after knowing this truth decide to worship the creations mo...
