HAVING DONE ALL…

n his death bed, Alexander the great summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes: The best doctors should carry his coffin. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see. One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain. Here is what Alexander the Great had to say "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal" "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, will stay on earth"

I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is: time. We do not take to our grave any material wealth. Time is our most precious treasure because it is limited. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time.

Alexander the great was one of the greatest army general who conquered nations and territories during his days. His presence sends chills down the spine of his enemies. He had great material wealth and his conquest extended from one end of the earth to the other. And maybe it will interest you to know that a bite from a mosquito opened up the gate of sickness that eventually took his life. Death is no respecter of person. It is an inevitable debt we all must pay. Not even the best doctors can save a man when his time is up. As a matter of fact, the doctor himself cannot help himself when his time is up. As we run from one place to another trying to acquire as much wealth as possible, let us always remember that the wealth we acquire here on earth is a waste if we do not have treasures in heaven. We will not take a cent out of here. All the rat race to acquire and pile up riches will end here. No matter how much our family members love us, the farthest they can go with us is the edge of the grave…it is a journey we all must travel alone. Why are you then living your life as if there is no end? Don't wait until you are faced with that reality and then it is too late for you to make amend. Time is very precious and at same time limited. Only what is done for Christ will last. Let these words jolt your life back on course. When you were born, you were crying and others were laughing. Live your life such that when you depart this world, others will be crying while you are laughing. No man is worth you giving up heaven. Nothing should be worth taking heaven from you. Those you have defrauded and made to weep and then you still go back to church to lift up those hands in praise to the thrice holy God. Ah! Please make amend. Judgment will start in the house of God. You are married and yet you still have extra marital liaison with another and your wife or husband is completely in the dark; please make amend. Dear sister with a beautiful voice, God has been gracious to you blessing you with this gift such that when you minister, people are greatly touched but please sit down and think for a minute; the immoral relationship going on with the choir master or any other member or leader for that matter will take heaven from you if and when you do not repent. I Thank God for your life sir; you are one of the powerful minister of the gospel in our generation. Great signs and miracles have been wrought through your ministry and you have been a great blessing to the church but at same time, you have made many young ladies weep in the secret. You have destroyed their lives and some will require divine intervention to get their lives back. It will not always continue like this. It is time to make amend. Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall… Let us think about this and make necessary amends.
