"Death is a good thing," Pst Sarah Omakwu

Years back, I was talking about the concept of death with a friend and she was literally shocked I should be discussing about death so casually. I laughed. 

There is actually nothing to fear in death if you are in Christ and yesterday, Pst Sarah reinforced what I believe (God bless you ma! I've learnt a lot from you).

Death is a taboo subject that people don’t like talking about because of the fear that when they talk about it, it will likely happen to them. So it's dreaded, forbidden, in fact people cast and bind when you mention that name!


A woman I  love and admire because of her simplicity and sincerity, Pastor Sarah Omakwu of Family Worship Centre, spoke on death, saying that contrary to what people believe, death is a good thing with benefits.

Her aim was to demystify death and open our eyes to see the wonderful blessings in death, to spur us to live ready and start preparing for death 'cause death is inevitable.


“Take away the fear of death”, she announced excitedly. “For what you fear will come upon you!” She further explained that death for a Christian means 'to sleep, a transition, an exchange of mortality for immortality, a final defeat of death'. 

So what blessings are in death?


Heaven, because you depart from a sin-laden world to a perfect place.


You meet with Jesus face to face (finally!)

You reunite with your loved ones who died in Christ (yeah, I will see my dad again…*dancing*)


It brings to you your rewards.


People are afraid to die because of their fear of the unknown (Ecc 7:1), their unhealthy attachment to the world and material things or their fear of the process of death.


Now this is not to make us wish for death but rather it is to make us live free from the fear of death and to daily live ready. Do not allow the devil ensnare you with fear (Heb 2:14). On daily basis, while you are here, credit your heavenly account with your time, talent and treasures. 

Can you answer this question: If you had only one year to live, what would you do?

Live purposefully.

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

By
It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

Late Hollywood actress, Marilyn Monroe, told Billy Graham, "I don't need your Jesus."

By
She had the perfect life anyone could dream of; remarkable wealth and great fame. Despite all that, Marilyn kept all of her sufferings to herself. One day during filming, a preacher named Billy Graham visited her. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". During that time, Monroe who was allegedly having a romantic affair with the President of the United States, John F Kennedy. A week later, she was found dead in her bedroom. Theories of her death started to spread. Some say she was assassinated because of political conspiracies and in the end, the most accepted theory up to this day is she committed suicide. It shows that she was suffering from a severe depression. In fact it is actually the right time for her to seek God, asking for help, not to take the easy way out by taking her own life. *Hmmm... One day soon I will write on Marily...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

By
We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent.  "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...
