Topic: Dead Men Walking
Memory Verse: My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NLT)
Main Texts: Psalm 103:17, Ephesians 2:1-9
Daily Quote: We are dead men walking by the breath of grace - Michael B. Gyekye
Bible in One Year : Judges 9:22-10:18 Luke 24:13-53 Psalm 100:1-5 Proverbs 14:11-12
I will start by saying, life is precious, and it is a gift from God, it takes a careless man to play with it. Many are dead through carelessness. The word of God is preached day and night yet we are still living in sin, how long are we going to surrender? The life we live is just a breathe, as soon as that breath goes away, we are just dead men walking.
A woman came to my hospital, she was ok; just came in for blood pressure management, she was talking and eating, she was just waiting for a bed in the inpatient unit. As soon as she got her bed, she coded few minutes later, her blood pressure went up, she lost her breath and died instantly. I made rounds another time, as I reached the 6th bed, I met a nice Spanish man, we spoke and we shared some laughs, he had such a great humor, very pleasant patient, as I reached the 14th bed, he also coded, lost his breathe and died in the process. I have seen more terrible cases, accidents, and gunshots wounds; I have seen many cries, sorrows and agonies by families and loved ones. Life is too precious to care less about it.
Apostle Paul said; for him to live is Christ (Philippians 1:21). Indeed, that is true, we live by the breath of God each day. We are just dust and clay, polished by the grace of God, alive by His breath, because when God formed us, we were just like statutes, no life, motionless, but He breathed into us and we became living beings. So without His breathe we are just dead men walking.
Education is good, but you have to add Godliness. Professors who are Emeritus die, doctors die, scientist and inventors die also, rich or poorer you will die, so no matter who you are, death is inevitable. Properties here are good, lands, houses, cars, businesses, etc. but remember; you will not live here forever.
One day, you will go back to dust if that day comes, what will be the use of the cars, houses, lands and the businesses? Surely, another man will take over your money. So it is necessary to invest in the kingdom of God, nothing can affect this investment. A life secured in the Lord can never be wasted.
Since life here on earth is too short and temporal, we need to remember our creator, we need to serve and serve Him alone. He needs to be adored and worshiped because we are just dust but He loves us. He knows our beginning and our end; He alone needs to be feared. Praise God !!!
“Enough is Enough 2016" is coming off in August in New York City. The theme is "Making the Impossibilities Manifest" Psalm 112:10. It is a 5-hour prayer, the word, praise and worship, deliverance program, aimed to cry unto God for the impossible to happen. Bring the barren, the sick, jobless, the single, the oppressed, the failure and God will make their request possible. Please don't count yourself out. I have prayed to God that, if He will not answer you, He shouldn’t let it come on. But I know He will. It is a platform for a miraculous breakthrough. God bless your Jesus precious name.
Note this:
God loves us that He demonstrated his Love by giving us Jesus our great source of life. If you are not born again, you have no life in you, you are indeed a dead man walking, blind and deaf to the things of the spirit. Your life is limited with no divine inheritance, no direction, and failure is not an option. Moreover, you are a candidate of hell fire. If you want to be born again by giving your life to Christ, or wants to rededicate your life back to Jesus, please pray this prayer
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
