ARE YOU AFRAID OF DEATH?



Before you start quoting the scriptures to reject death, please wait! Yes, I know the first one that will probably come to heart is “I shall not die but live to declare the glory of God” and I say a BIG amen to that. But do you know that many people are scared of death?  Especially against the backdrop of recent deaths of some very prominent personalities in the land – It is like we are in the season of deaths and the question is who is next?  I share with you a recent conversation between a friend of mine and a woman below:

“On my way back today from Abuja via Arik Air, I sat beside a woman who was with her daughter (about 2 years old).  As we were about to take off, she alerted me that she is usually scared of flying (especially take-off and landing), so she may throw up in the process. Throw up? Then you have to get out of this place because I can’t stand that – I said.

She was surprised to hear that… Then I went on – but I can help you such that you will never be scared of flying again in your life. Now she was interested. I then said – there are two main root causes why you are scared of flying: 1. You are not sure where you will go if you die today. 2. You do not have an idea about when you leave this world. You feel it could be any time. Hmmm. She answered an emphatic YES to both questions…”




To cut the long story short, the above conversation is the story of many people but the good news is that opposite should actually be the case. Death should be scared of you because the provision to conquer death has been made since the foundation of the world! Rev. 5:12 says “Worthy, worthy is the lamb that was slain…”.


Dear friend, Jesus Christ has paid the price and that is why Paul the Apostle can say in Philippians “For me to die is gain” because death is simply a transition to ETERNAL LIFE. It is the absence of ETERNAL LIFE that brings the fear of death.  We are confident that as many are afraid of death, from today, death will begin to get afraid of you!

All you need do is come to a loving God through His son Jesus Christ to obtain salvation, which is A FREE GIFT, and not something attained by any good works. It is faith alone in Christ that qualifies you to obtain ETERNAL LIFE and be with God in eternity (forever). The good news is that you can do this right now.



Please pray this prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you today, I am a sinner. I believe you died for me that I might have ETERNAL LIFE. Forgive me my sins and cleanse me with your blood.  I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a blessed child of God.  Thank you for saving me. If you have prayed this prayer sincerely, you are born again and you have ETERNAL LIFE.   CONGRATULATIONS! Click here to read more about ETERNAL LIFE.

THE SAINTS OF OLD SERIES - PROPHET DR. T.O. OBADARE (BIRTH, CALL & MINISTRY)

  Introduction Ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. Mo tun wi leekan si pe ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. E jeki a gbadura (Glory be to God in heaven. And I say once again, glory be to God in heaven. Shall we pray?)[1] This slogan echoed over the Nigerian airwaves, especially in south-western Nigeria, for close to four decades. Each time it echoed, those who were familiar with it easily identified the voice of Apostle (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Obadare, one of the indigenous prophets of the land, who was the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Worldwide); the Executive Director of World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM) and the President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Association of Nigeria (IMA).

THE SAINTS OF OLD – PA S.G. ELTON (Part 1)

I have been trying (for over 3 months now) to do a research on the late Pa S.G. Elton, who is widely considered to be the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria before featuring him on this platform. However, someone circulated this via What Sapp and I am using it as a platform to start a 3 part series on him. Enjoy the write up below. Your feedback and comments will be highly appreciated. Also feel free to send to  eternity.reminders@gmail.com  any useful article(s) in this regard.  Shalom! LOOKING BACKWARD: In order for us to understand the origin of the prosperity “gospel” and the present reign of mammon in the Church today, we cannot but talk about the man who almost single-handedly established the Pentecostal movement that led to the Pentecostal Churches of Nigeria today. Before then all we had were mostly the “orthodox” Churches with strong controls and hierarchy of the ministers. We did not have the “one-man” Churches of today. ALSO READ JO...
