WHEN ITS ALL BEEN SAID AND DONE...?

When it's all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?

When it's all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I have done
For love's rewards
Will stand the test of time

Lord, your mercy is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
That you found purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints

I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and in heaven after
For you've joined me at my true home
When it's all been said and done
You're my life when life is gone...

As I compose this post I am listening to a song by Don Moen whose lyric's is above and indeed a challenge to my own life. This is virtually my favourite song because its always challenges me to do what I have been called to do. When I first listened to it some years ago I decided to be fully sold out to God. Though I have rather had mountains of sin and personal struggle to contend with mostly I still hold to the intends of this touching song. And I am holding on to it believing that one day I will leave out the full content of it. I will never give up.

But beloved what dooes these words mean to you personally? When its all been said and done, when life is no more, when that time comes and you lay in your casket and your heart has stop beating, when you are but a piece of body mass heading for the grave, what will you hold on to? Will you hold on to Christ or your wealth? Will you hold on to all the worldly acquisitions you have made or spiritual things you did which no one can see but God? My sister and brother are you building a foundation of gold or hay? Are you grabbing as much as you could grab in this life with detriment to your soul?

Life is good and God meant that we enjoy it but not to the detriment of our soul. Are you cheating to make it? Are you using all means even if dubiuos to acquire your wellbeing with no regards to the consequences of your action? Romans 14:12 says "For everyone of us shall give account of himself to God" Mark 8:36,37 says "For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? You are so preciuos to God so much that He did everything he could to save you from second death even if it took His own life. That is how far God will go for you. It shows the depth of His love for mankind and you especially. Will you accept His dear Son Jesus Christ whom He sent to die on the cross for you or will you reject Him and perish forever in hell?

Beloved it is my sincerest prayer that you will received Jesus as your Lord, Savoiur and King so that you will spend eternity with God and all the saints in Heaven. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all its rigtheuosness and all other things including what you have been wishing for will be added unto you. When its all been said and done; when your life is no more and when you stand before God what will be your account? Will it be good news or bad news?

Your treasures, wealth, marraige, automobiles, houses, businesses, popularity and fame and all that is precious to you will not amount to anything if you not have Christ. Its only the blood of the Lamb of God that will guarantee you an entry into Heaven. Are you washed by the blood of the Lamb? Please do not postpone your salvation for you know not of tomorrow. As I write this post we are burying a 25year old cousin tomorrow who was killed in a motor accident. Yesterday he was but today he is gone for good and his fate is determined. Perhaps he knew his death wouldn't come so soon but you cannot find him on any part of the globe today, He's gone ...and gone for good. Will he be in heaven or hell?

Fortunately your destiny is in your hand today. You have life and that represents hope. But you shall not be alive always. Make that decision now or maybe never! But know that you have a judgement to encounter. Please think on this reflectively and take that STEP OF YOUR LIFE.

If you want to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the prayer below:

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

  Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
• Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
• Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
• Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
• Find a local church where you can worship God.
