Good evening Beloved Brethren,
I believe we are doing very fine and well? And I also trust we are watching in Prayers with Our Sister, Onuh Mercy?
We pray God Almighty to supply Full strength and Comfort unto her and the family in Christ Jesus.
Brethren, on this note, as we keep watch in prayers for our Sister; we would love each person among us to use this period well to reflect on our living and right standing in Christ Jesus, knowing that Death is only our Beginning unto an Endless Good Life and Glory in Christ Jesus if We Live in Total Obedience unto His Divine Counsel for all Goodness.
Beloved, Let us go through the lessons below 👇🏼copied from Life Bible on Death.
Do read prayerfully and meditatively.
Death always seems to get the last word. No matter what we do to extend our lives, death inevitably catches up to us. Why are we so afraid to die? Why do we try so hard to keep living? Because we are uncertain of what happens after that. On this side of death, we at least know the rules of how things work, even if we don’t like them. We know what things bring us happiness and pleasure. But what if this life is all there is? And if there is some sort of existence after our body dies, what will it be like? This creates fear and despair in many people. The Bible has a great deal to say about death—and what is on the other side of it. For those who believe its message, there is great hope instead of fear and despair. Jesus, by dying for our sins and rising from the dead, has shown us how to triumph over death. All who trust in him will share in that victory over death! There are two kinds of deaths—the cessation of life here on earth and the missed opportunity to live in heaven with God forever. To die physically is to leave our earthly bodies and our places in the earthly community. To die spiritually, eternally, is to miss eternal residence in heaven with God and his people and to be separated from God forever. When we die physically, we become even more alive as we take up our residence in heaven. It is not pleasant to think of dying physically. But it is devastating to think of missing heaven forever.
