Death Is Not The Worst - Pastor Olu T.

Over the years people have always thought of death as the worse thing that can ever happen to man, but this is very wrong because there is more to our lives than here and now. 

We are created for far more and death couldn't have been the end of such intricately created being such as us, it is just a passage or transition into the real world we are truly meant for this present one is just a shadow of the one to come.

God created us a spirit who has a soul and live in a body (flesh), so though we die in the flesh and loses our earthly container to decay, our actual self continue to live on for all eternity because we are created spirit to live forever. We use our spirit to contact the spiritual realm (this is the reason we can actually connect with God and other creatures can't), while we use our soul to contact the intellectual realm (the soul consist of the will, the mind which comprises of intellect n senses, and the emotions), and lastly the body (our earthly tent which keeps us here on earth) to contact the physical realm. This is the reason though many at times we are ignorant of who we truly are, but we get a taste of the spiritual once in a while in dreams, vision, trance, intuition etc, this is a way of God reminding us of we truly are. So concluding life is no more than this is just being ignorant and very short sighted, and not living purposeful life in this present one in preparation for the one to come it calamitous and the effect is far reaching.

A life without purpose is the worst that could happen to anyone, because we are all put here for a reason and a purpose that we might please the father. And we know purpose only and actually start with Christ Jesus because in Him we live, move and have our being, so developing a relationship and walking with Him brings you into a purposeful living. A wise man once said, "some people dies at 20 years but only get buried at 80 years", this is actually talking about people living purposeless lives even after the age of 20 and continue like that for good numbers of decades till they eventually dies. So obviously a life without purpose is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. But for anyone to even discover his purpose and start walking in it, he needs to encounter Jesus and walk with Him which only then will the true meaning of life be unveiled and he will be able to live a meaningful live that he was created for.

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [d] recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
