Is Your Name In The Book of Life?

Do you know the world is closer to coming to an end??
Do you know Jesus is coming soon to judge the world??
Do you why is he coming back to judge the world?

What are the signs you should look out for to see the end of the world is getting closer and closer?

Do you even know who Jesus is??

A story is told of a man of God who died and instantly saw angels standing next to his soul. They spoke with him a brief moment and took him closer to a big book to check for his name inside this big book.
It was the biggest book this man had ever seen. What is this? He asked the angels who were walking beside him.
The Book of Life,  one of them said. Though he had heard many times  about it whiles he was alive on earth but he was surprised to see it physically.  When they got closer to the book, the book opened by itself and started turning page after page. Frightened and scared, he again asked the angels in a terrified voice
Why is the pages turning like this.... It is looking to find if your name is written in it.
Oh I see, i shouldn't worry about these things my friends, because  I know my name is in it already. Because I have served the lord faithfully for years in the church.  The angels didn't pay attention to him this time but kept their eyes glued on the turning pages waiting for it to stop. It finally did and to the man's suprise, his name was not in this sacred book. 
With shock and anger, he shouted at the angels to check the book again.
Sorry, your name is not in the book of life. Therefore you cannot be allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven to be with the lord.

I have built big churches for God and I have healed the sick using the power of Jesus's name. He shouted. My name should rather be the first to appear. And now you people and this big book are saying that my name can't be found so I cannot go to see God.
Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me all the kindness I did for people, the monies and the service I gave to the church was all  in vain?? He asked with a crying tone.
Yes. The angels all answered in one voice.
But why, what did I do wrong? I did everything right  by the book, just like the bible said.
One of the angels held the man's hand and started talking to him. Remember in the bible   Jesus said "Not all who call me lord lord will enter heaven but the one who does the will of my father. (Mathew 7:21). When you were on earth, you were unforgiving and bitter whenever people did you wrong and you allowed the hate to stay in your heart for so long,  for your enemies until the time you will have your revenge on them. God loved everything you did except that. And sadly you died and left the earth without ever repenting from it.
I don't understand this, the man said. You mean I should have forgiven them and forgotten.  Even though they hurt me badly and caused me so much pain???
Yes. This is because Jesus Christ died for your sins and forgave you everything (John 3:16). Or you could have confronted them and let them know that  what they did to you was wrong to free your mind from evil thoughts. You didn't do any of that. So that's why you are where you are today. And they left the man and disappeared.
I don't know how true this story is. But one thing is for sure, I know the bible is real and God is real. And so is Jesus Christ. And if we humans, even here on earth refer to any peaceful and beautiful place as heaven, and a tougher and any unbearable place we cannot live or stay there as Hell. Then I also do believe there exists a real heaven and hell too. Otherwise there would not be names for them.
As we are talking daily about the virus and how deadly and scary it is, let us not forget to talk and think carefully about these things too. This may sound funny to many or even a joke. But if we humans today, right this moment are even scared of a flu and a lung viral disease, what shall we do then if something bigger than this virus hits us again unawares sometime in the future.
(Just thinking aloud)
I'm not a perfect man, I have many sins and flaws as a man. So don't think of me as some crazy holier than thou,  self righteous man. Yes I am a Christian, but I'm also a realist and a practical thinker of the right and wrong things as you are.
In my alone moments, I'm just writing to help you and me think about the happenings and events of this life and the world.

Like me,  I hope these strange events and activities in the world will push you to think in a deeper sense than you usually do.

He has got the whole wide world in his hands.

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
