WHEN YOU DIE, DON'T WORRY:
Because if you die and have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you will go to heaven.
But if you die without having accepted Jesus as your Savior and die in your sins, you will go to hell. It is not me who tells you this, it is the Word of God that tells you, amen.
Do not worry about your body because your relatives will take care of what is necessary.
They:
🔷️ They will take your clothes.
🔷️ They will wash you.
🔷️ They will dress you.
🔷️ They will take you out of your house.
🔷 ️They will take you to your new home...
🔷️ Many will come to "say goodbye" to you at your funeral. 🔷️ Some will cancel their appointments and even miss work and other commitments because of your funeral.
Although most of them never did so while you were alive.
🔷 Your belongings, even those you didn't like to lend, will be burned, thrown away without the slightest ceremony. Some of those that are a little more valuable, someone will even keep them or perhaps donate them.
🔷 Your keys.
🔷 Your books.
🔷 Your CDs.
🔷 Your bags.
🔷 Your shoes.
🔷 Your clothes...
🔷️ If your family is smart and supportive, they will donate them to charity so that they can obtain some benefit for someone.
🔷️ And rest assured:
The world will not stop to cry for you.
🔷️ The economy will continue. 🔷️ In your work, you will be replaced; another person with the same abilities will take your place.
🔷️ Your "Assets" will go to your heirs.
Whereas you will continue to be: cited, judged, questioned... about all the small and large actions in life.
🔷️ There will be 3 types of "MOURNING" about you:
🔷️ People who knew you only at face value will say:
"Poor Man! / Woman!"
🔷️ Your friends will cry for days, or at most hours, but then they will return to laughing.
🔷️ Those "friends" who encouraged you to sin will forget you more quickly.
🔷️ Your animals will be given away, they will become attached to the new owner, and little by little your memory will be erased. 🔷️ Your photos:
"For a while" they will be hanging on a wall, or on some piece of furniture.
But soon they will be stored away, forgotten, in boxes, or at the bottom of a drawer.
🔷️ Your favorite sofa, table, or chair will certainly be donated, or burned.
🔷️ The "deep" pain in your home will last a week, two, a month, two...
And after that, your family will only add you to their memories.
🔷️ And then, your story here, is over...
🔷️ It is over for this world, among people.
But your story with your new reality, begins.
And this reality, is life after death. Eternal life with or without God.
🔷️ And these things will be left behind:
🔷 Body
🔷 Beauty
🔷 Appearance
🔷 Surname
🔷 Comfort
🔷 Credit
🔷 Status
🔷️ Fame
🔷 Position
🔷 Bank account
🔷️ Likes
🔷 House
🔷️ Vanity
🔷 Car
🔷 Profession
🔷 Career
🔷 Titles
🔷 Diplomas
🔷 Medals
🔷 Trophies
🔷 Friends
🔷 Places
🔷 Spouse
🔷 Family...
🔷️ And there, on the other side, none of these things will be missed or of any value, they will be of no use to you. 🔷️ Therefore, guard your heart. ❤
🔷️ Take care of:
🔷 Your Spirit.
🔷 Your life with God.
🔷️ Your soul. It is yours that suffers and feels pain.
🔷 Preserve His essence within you.
🔷 Do good.
🔷 Forgive.
🔷 Be honest.
🔷 Be fair.
🔷 Seek Him.
🔷 Follow Him.
🔷 Pray, talk to Him.
🔷 Learn about Him.
🔷 Practice what He taught.
🔷 And stay away from any act that displeases Him, our Lord JESUS CHRIST. ✝️
He will come soon
And everything here will be left behind. REPENT OF YOUR SINS, RENOUNCE THE DESIRES OF YOUR FALLEN FLESH, AND SANCTIFY YOURSELF IN PRAYER, FASTING, AND DAILY BIBLE READING. 🫵🙏🔥🔥🔥📖

*Psalms 41*
As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and you have set me before your face forever. Psalms 41:12
Interesting fact: David was sick, and his enemies expected him to be seriously ill. They were already rejoicing among themselves with the certainty that the illness was terminal. Another reason for David's sadness was the fact that one of the traitors had been a close friend of his in the past.
2- What this text teaches
V.1-3: David remembers that the Lord blesses those who help those in need (those who are weakened by ill health).
For David, it is comforting to know that he had followed the divine example by assisting, comforting and encouraging the sick. Now, he appropriates the promise
that the Lord would also deliver him in the day of evil.
David was certain that God would not deliver him into the hands of his enemies. Instead, He would give His servant all the grace he needed during his illness and then restore his health.
v.4-6: David presents his illness to God in prayer, confesses his sin and begs for healing as something he does not deserve.
Not all illness is a direct result of sin, as in the case of the elderly (it is part of the natural aging process).
But there is a direct connection between sin and illness and, in the slightest possibility of this being the case, the Christian must run to the presence of the Lord and confess his sin sincerely.
v.7-8: Many evil rumors were spreading, news that the illness was fatal and would lead to death. One of David's enemies had been his close friend. One of the greatest sorrows in life is to be betrayed by someone close to us. This is what Jesus felt when Judas betrayed him, and it is not an uncommon experience in the lives of those who follow the Master.
v.10: David turns to the Lord for mercy. David says, “Raise me up, that I may repay them as they deserve,” meaning that as king he had an obligation to suppress every attempt to overthrow his government. v.11-13 For David, the failure of his enemies’ plots is a sign of God’s favor toward him. David was a man of integrity, despite his sins and weaknesses. Compared to his enemies, he was an example of virtue. It is quite possible that the Lord sustained him by seeing sincerity and righteousness in his life. God’s sustaining grace guarantees security for his life and a place in the presence of the heavenly King forever. Confident and serene, the psalmist raises his voice to bid farewell with a song of praise. Jehovah, the God of Israel who keeps his covenant, is worthy of worship from eternity to eternity. 3- How can we apply this in our lives David’s deliverance was a glimpse of the victory of Jesus, who defeated his enemies on the cross (Colossians 2:15). Peter said that God raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 2:24). Jesus won!
In Christ Jesus, we are more than conquerors!
Our pains and afflictions bring us closer to God. God always hears our prayers.
We need to keep believing in Him.
4- Reflection Question
Have you taken everything to God in prayer?
JESUS SAID:
🙏🔥🔥🔥📖👇👇👇👇🫵
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Therefore if your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” MATTHEW 5:27-29
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to be maimed and gain eternal life than to keep both hands and go to hell, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to be crippled and gain eternal life than to keep both feet and be thrown into hell!” MARK 9:43-46
“And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to have one eye and enter the kingdom of God than to have both eyes and be thrown into hell, where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” MARK 9:47-48
Don’t lose your soul!
