What Will You Be Remembered For?

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
   - Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV

In life, it's not about how long you lived but how well you lived. One day you will be gone forever for this earth, when you are gone, what do you want to be remembered for?

No matter how long you live on this earth, you are surely going to die. So what would you have done with time you were alive on this earth. You must have a purpose for living. Don't just be alive for nothing. Take up a cause and follow it up. Impact people around you. Life is not about you gathering riches and other materials thing but it's about what you did with them. 

Did you serve people well or you oppress them? Are you that landlord that keep increasing the rent or that employer that keep short-changing your employees? The children in your care, did you teach and lead them right?
Are you that dad/mom that treat your step children badly? Or are you that person that looks down on everyone else?

When death comes, will you be remembered for good or bad?
Pause a moment and ask yourself this 'if I die now, am  I a worthy candidate of heaven'?

Nothing we brought into this world and certainly we are taking nothing away. So start living a purposeful life that involving you impacting on lives positively. Be generous. Be good even to your enemies. Share the knowledge you have. Start caring. Be actively involved in the developmental projects. Be the best dad/mom sister/brother lover/friend husband/wife. Walk in love and stop being jealous.

If you are in government, serve the people well. Don't embezzle taxpayer's money.

Life on this earth will surely come to an end. Stop living life as if you won't die because we all will. 

When I died, I want to be remembered for good deeds and I want God to say 'Well done my faithful servant'  

It's my prayer that you wouldn't miss everlasting life.

Good Morning beloved and do have a purposeful day.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
