When you die, what happens next?
Don't worry, don't be concerned over your body because it's the first thing people will take care of. They will do what is required, of course, your name would have been changed to "The Corpse".
They will;
Take you out of the comfort of your expensive home.
Buy you new white clothes
Wash your body
Take you to your new place of stay (the grave, where equality of mankind is assured)
Many will come to bid farewell at your funeral - in fact, many will cancel work for the sake of your burial, even though most of them didn't know you whilst you were alive.
Your belongings will be gotten rid of:
- Your cars
- Your cheque books
- Your bags
- Your shoes
- Your clothes
- Your job: Someone else will take your position (Whether in the circular world or in the church)
Your wealth will go to inheritors or opportunists
Whereas you will remain to be questioned about every minor and major deed.
Mourners will congregate and there will be 3 types of mourners over you;
The people who knew you only at face value will say 'poor man'
Your friends will grieve for hours or days but then return to laughter
The deep grief at your household will last for a week, two weeks, a month, 2-months or even a year; and thereafter they will add you to their memories. And so your story amidst the people ended.
While your story with the reality begins: "Eternity". Where have you prepared to spend it? And that is the life after death.
Indeed, the following things will leave you:-
- Beauty
- Wealth
- Health
- Children
- Connections and influence
- The mansions
- Your spouse, in fact, among those who come to mourn will be those eyeing to take over.
The Question is...
What have you prepared that will show or speak for you in Eternity or hereafter?
This reality needs to be thought over: Therefore;
Take care of these two things;
- Your Salvation
- Sanctification (Holiness)
Once your eyes close in death, the only property left with you is Your Relationship WITH GOD.
