THE LAST CURTAIN CALL

I spent about 30 minutes listening to a message on the radio last night.It formed part of the best minutes of my life!.The calm but very assertive voice of a woman I assumed must be very good looking rang clearly over my radio forcing me to restrict my hands from tuning off.The words,"the last curtain call" were the magical words I heard first.Oh!, how she painted a picture of Jesus's patience and love for the church.How she distinguished life from death.How she brought steady warm tears flowing down my cheeks.How audacious she sounded yet so simple.I was overtaken by the truth that echoed every letter in her words!

This world is the stage that all human beings(actors) act on.Do you know your role,she queried?.Are you playing your role?.Are you playing it right?.Are you playing it at the right time and place?.Are you playing another person's role?Are you ready for the last curtain call?These questions got me thinking and instantly I knew I had to right some things in my own life.Check yours right now!


She remebered how that her brother's friend's father died on a Friday and the brother's friend took his father's corpse to the motuary and deposited some money with the mortuary attendant so that his father's body would be properly embalmed and prepared for burial.Her brother's friend returned on Sunday to check the father's body in the mortuary and behold his father's body was lying on the bare floor bloated and smelling.Of course he was furious and asked why they would treat his father's body in that manner despite the fact that he had paid them to prepare the body.The motuary attendants on duty maintained that he didn't pay any of them money.He agreed that he paid money to neither of them but that his payment was recorded.On cross checking the records,it was discovered that he truly paid.One of the attendants as though on impulse moved to something that looked like a drawer and pulled one box out,pointing at the corpse lying therein ,he asked the brother's friend;Is this the man you paid money to?To his astonishment that was thesame man he paid money, to prepare his father's corpse,now a corpse himself!.Ah!,what a world I thought aloud.

She also shared how her bosom friend was planning greatly towards her 50th birthday and made all kinds of preparations to make it grand and talk of the town party.On the morning of her birthday she passed on to the great beyond and her birthday was her death day!

We need no Prophet to tell us that we are in the end of times.Evil has taken over the land and many are at home with sin.Young people are far from God.Wickedness has subdued goodness.People are taking and giving in marriage. Earthquakes,flooding,revolution,rebbellion and wars all over the world just like the Bible predicted it would happen.Ah!,are you not afraid?

You and I know not the time nor the day when we shall close our eyes.Death is inevitable.The curtains would be drawn at the last curtain call.Prepare your ways now for the time cometh when no man shall work again.Would it not be better to die and meet Jesus or be raptured and enjoy heaven.Oh, lord Jesus my ernest prayer is that you mould me just into that piece you want me to be.Let me play my role and not another's.Maranatha!

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
