NO GAIN UNDER THE SUN
Hebrews 9:27 – And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (KJV)
Read: Ecclesiastes 2:4–11; 9:2–3
Everyone has a life and a destiny to fulfil, after which there is a point of departure. Solomon, the wisest and the wealthiest man in his days, said death happens to everybody (the rich, poor, righteous, and the wicked). No matter your rank, possessions, or achievements in this world, everything is temporary because death is inevitable!
Luke 12:13–21 reveals the story of the rich fool whose business blossomed. He suddenly became arrogant, refusing to return the glory to God, and he was erased from the living. People in this generation are also illegally acquiring wealth, forgetting that it all ends here on earth. There was a time when one of such powerful fellows died, and not even a dime was buried with him!
Beloved, what are you struggling to get? Money, houses, certificates, or fame? These are good, but life is like a show that soon fades away. No value must be placed on perishable materials over your soul because, as seen in today’s Bible reading, once a person dies, their fate is sealed. While alive, the best thing to do is to surrender your life to Christ. Jesus is the surest escape route from death. On earth and in eternity, there is an assured hope in Him. Therefore, live a life of holiness with the help of the Holy Spirit, have faith, love others, and spread the gospel (Psalm 96:3).
PRAYER
Hymn: In Christ Alone – Keith Getty & Stuart Townsend (2001)
1. Father, I don’t want to die twice (on earth and in hell). Help me to reign with You in eternity!
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. I refuse to live a valueless life. I will make an impact on my generation.
2. Lord Jesus, please give me the grace to live a holy life and make it to heaven.
3. Father, help me, my family, and the Church to maximise every purposeful opportunity before it is too late!
YOUR FAITH SHALL SPEAK FOR YOU!
