It is no longer news that
Dr Myles Munroe, founder of Bahamas Faith Ministries, died in a plane crash
this week.
The private plane he was
on board with wife, Ruth, and nine others reportedly struck a crane and crash landed,
killing all the nine persons inside at Grand Bahama.
Death and life are two
sides of the same coin. We must born to die and die to be re-born. No one can escape this. Even the
Bible says there is a time to sow and a time to reap.
Some Christians are thinking
about heaven and hell after death. This is not too correct. There is no
physical place known as heaven or hell.
This heaven or hell
concept was created by some of our early church leaders to place their followers
in perpetual bondage, even while here on earth.
The bottom-line was to instill
fear and control in the minds of their followers for their selfish, monetary
reasons.
I also know that there is
life after death. A bit difficult to prove, but from my personal one-on-one
relationship with the source, this I can tell you is 100% true.
The source is God, cosmic
or whatever you choose to call it in your local language.
Munroe came into this world,
played his part in service of God and humanity and returned to serve at higher
level.
He will come back,
renewed, refresh and reinvigorated to continue from where he stopped. The
motivational preacher served the world with his tongue and pen. He sure will
reap the rewards with interests.
What we sow today, we
reap tomorrow either in this life or the next even with interests. This is
where I do sometime disagree with some of my Christians friends who talk about
forgiveness of sins.
What we do individually-good
or bad will certainly return to us with interests.
But, the burden could be
made lighter by God, if we strive at all times, circumstances, and places to
think and do good. It is pretty difficult, but is very, very possible.
The law of sowing and
reaping is a universal, immutable law of nature, of God that cannot be bribed,
cajoled, manipulated or set aside. It is a law that does not know social, financial
or other status of any person in this life.
