This weekend I found out I only have one year to live and I... shall live in full reconciliation with my creator.
Life on earth is so sweet even in difficulties. whether rich or poor, literate or not, we have many fascinating things in life that is left to us, we would not let go of them on the account of death.
As stratified as our societies are, we still find life meaningful even the "have not". We are so hopeful that tomorrow will always be better, we believe in the social mobility.
6:00am Saturday 27th August, 2022 as I was meditating, it crossed my mind that I only have one year to live and I decided to live in reconciliation with my creator.
To many that believe in God they know that heaven and hell is real, left to all to choose, we will all choose to be in heaven but our disobedience to the Will of God fights against our wish hence many who would choose to be in heaven may end up in hell, so sad.
Despite our knowledge of the realness of heaven and the way to it which is death in the body, many fear death more than any dreadful thing. But reverse is my case.
As I was meditating, then remembered that I have one year to live only, my heart was filled with joy because I was going to meet with God, I had peace of mind because I was leaving this corrupt world (speaking from the Nigerian perspective) to a place where there's no corruption, I was happy because I was leaving the world surrounded with uncertainties to the best place, I felt satisfied because my day was near and lastly, felt accomplished because I was done with the mission of my creation. Everyone has a mission to accomplish here on earth, touch lives positively, help the poor, give hope to the hopeless, encourage the downtrodden and above all, serve God with all your heart, soul and might and remain faithful. The commandments of God was the guiding principles for me hence I tried to live righteously.
Conversely, I became emotional, how I was going to miss my lovely family, friends and colleagues, I thought of how my departure would be on those who made me their role model, first would they be weak? Or strengthened the more? I took stand on the later than the former.
In the next one year I have to live, all I plan to achieve is to reconcile with God and further the message of hope, truth, faith and repentance
Hope
I will reassure believers of God that just as He promised, He will come and take the faithful ones to the eternal place to be with Him, this will help them not to relent in their good doings and right living.
Truth
Here, my message maybe thankless because not everyone will appreciate it, the world needs to be told the truth, the institutions of the world established to uphold truth has failed, the court and religious groups are meant to speak truth but they glows and shine like a rotten wood, I will not fear to speak to them so they can change and moving forward uphold truth.
Faith
Of faith, I will preach to the world not to grow weary in their faith and remind the world not to stray for material gain, many has wandered away in pursuit of earthly gain, oh what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? (Mark 8:36)
Repentance
The bottom line would be for the recipient of my message to repent, change their ways of life and live for God while waiting on the coming of our lord
Finally, on the completion of my one year left, I will travel with my wife and children to visit my parents, after praying as a family, I will hug them all charge them to live rightly, then I will kiss my wife compassionately after which, I take my last breath.
I am not afraid of death either, rather what I am afraid of is what I have to go through in order to die. I hope that is not your case.
In many people we have found out that the prognosis of how long someone has to live, becomes reality only if maintaining their mistakes in their lifestyles. Improving their habits usually gives them more time than their doctors. And one of the main improvements they take is usually in their nutrition. Our body needs continuous replenishment of many minerals that are hard to find, like those some animals get licking stones.
