Death

Meditations Wey You Fit Choose to Do

No give up as you dey do these three meditations wey follow, if you feel say God dey call you to do dem. The tins wey dem talk about fit hard to face, but if you understand dem well-well, dem go give you the strong foundation wey you need for the reflections wey go come later about forgiveness, mercy and union with God. To skip these meditations wey be foundation na like to build house without foundation. As time dey go, the house go fall. Na so e still be for spiritual life. If you no get deep understanding of your sin, death, judgment and the possibility say you fit go Hell, you no fit move forward to redemption and new life.

Oda Wey Dem Go Follow for Holy Hour

Death

Na few people dey regularly ponder the truth say one day dem go die. But the older you become, the easier e go be to ponder am. Take small time think about this truth wey dey humble person. (Ponder Am Quietly)

If you compare how long this life dey last with eternity, e be like to compare one atom with the whole Universe wey God create. Yet, many times, you fit dey live as if na only this life (this “atom”) you get, even though God don give you one whole eternity. You fit fail to understand say this life no be any other tin but preparation for eternity. This life short so tey person no fit measure am when dem compare am with the eternal life wey dey wait. How well you dey prepare?

Na either for Heaven or Hell you go spend your eternity. Any of the two fit really happen, depending on wetin you believe and the choices wey you make. But before you look at eternity, look at the gate wey lead to eternity: Death. Na which day you go die? E go happen soon? Or na many years from now? Na few people dey ponder death because, for most people, dem see death as sometin wey still far away. But say you no know when you go die no be good excuse not to ponder am with hope as you dey look forward to wetin go come. E fit be soon, e fit be later, but the day go come for all of us. Pause again to think about the day wey you go die. Try imagine how e go be. (Ponder Am Quietly)

When you die, where you go spend eternity go don settle. Imagine yourself for the bed where you dey about to die, as you dey look back at your life and face the eternity wey you go soon enter. For that moment, you go get regrets? If yes, wetin you go regret? Or you go get peace, with your heart full of thanksgiving for the many choices wey you make and the grace wey you receive? (Ponder Am Quietly)

When you die, you go wish say you for make more money, say more people for know you, say you for get more recognition, say you for get more education, and other tins like that? We hope say no. (Ponder Am Quietly)

When you die, you go regret say you no love more? Say you no spend more time with your family? Say you no forgive? Say you live life wey na only to satisfy yourself you dey seek? Say you keep grudge, treat people wickedly, no dey honest, and other tins like that? (Ponder Am Quietly)

When you die, your heart go full of thanksgiving say you live this life as preparation for eternity? Say you seek to live life of virtue with all your heart? Say you pray with all your heart, every day, and throughout your life? Say every day you try to forgive, reconcile with people, show compassion and mercy, treat others with the greatest kindness and respect, seek wetin God want with all your strength, and other tins like that? We hope say na yes for all these tins.

Death dey change everything. Na the gate wey lead to eternity. But na now you dey prepare for your eternity. Make up your mind to live with that moment wey you go die for mind, and prepare for am with all your heart, so that when you stand for the doorway of death, you go stand with strong confidence and hope, as you dey look forward to the great tins wey dey wait for you. Make your own firm decision now. (Ponder Am Quietly)
