A Time Nothing Comes Back
Fame, power and affluence are good, we all have what it takes to dominate the world like Alexander of Greece if life gives us the opportunity.
Alexander was the Emperor of the world at that time, he conquered every nation on earth, his strength was unmatched to any human, but there came a time he realised everything is vanity, in the midst of the fame he couldn’t help himself, helplessly he watched fever snatch his life away, his strength, fame and military prowess couldn’t save him from a tiny invincible fever.
The sayings of the wise man King Solomon are ever true, a time always come when we realise everything before the face of the sun is vanity.
Life is priceless and immaterial, but it becomes vanity when it’s unsaved by the everlasting work Christ did.
Be great like Cesar, it’s good, we were created to dominate, but what is most important is your relationship with God, every other thing shall pass away, every greatness shall diminish in time, every gold and silver gathered shall rust away, but your place in God in forever, this is what you should always remember, you’ve little years to spend here, this very end that awaits all is the beginning of the journey.
What is that thing in life that makes you feel like the world is yours, Hawkins with all his scientific innovation and knowledge none could help him stand up an inch from that wheelchair.
Steve Jobs acquired the most expensive yacht but he didn’t board it for once, his widow now cruises it with his new found lover to cinematic locations.
Steve Jobs laboured all years of his life, always in the laboratory searching for innovation, he hadn’t enough time to look after himself, at the end all his efforts and life only translated to make his wife comfortable with a strange man, everything Steve Jobs worked for, his wife inherited it and flies the world in private jet with a man who wasn’t there, a man who didn’t contribute even a second to any of it, you now see the reason Solomon announced all is vanity.
Your life should be your first fame, your relationship with God should be your first greatness before any other type of fame, the first gold you should save is your soul before material treasures.
Queen Elizabeth stole gold from Africa, Australia and stock piled them in a vault in Canada, but did she leave this world with any of the gold? Her beautiful crown decorated with diamond she stole for SA did she leave with any, what about her costly gowns? Where are they now, did she enter the under world with any gown?
Naked we all came and naked we all shall depart, but it isn’t coming naked and leaving naked is the case but where we are headed from here.
Every silver and gold are yours by inheritance, you don’t need to consult anyone for it, you don’t need to ask marine spirits for any help, or sell your soul to Satan to have it, God already gave every treasure of the earth to mankind, He gave them all to make you comfortable while carrying out the duty he assigned you.
We are here on earth because God assigned us a duty, we aren’t here by reason of birth, not every child made it at birth, but we did because there’s a divine duty placed in our hands.
If someone should ask, “Why are you here?” what would be your answer? God didn’t create man only to wake up, eat, go out, return and sleep, He created man, and employed him with a duty, and He has left no living jobless, although many chose to be jobless in their divine duty.
MJ in the last days of his life realised he lived a vain life, he tried to reach out to charity homes, he made moves to make some amends but his end didn’t give him a chance, the fame couldn’t save him, gradually in the midst of multi billon dollar affluence he passed away, where was fame? Where was affluence? They were all around but couldn’t buy watch him pass away, they couldn’t help because they are vanity.
Don’t live your life so fixed on material things, and forget about the only thing that matters most, many understand this when it’s already late.
Celine Dion is in the last stage of her life, surrendered by affluence and fame yet she’s passing out and passing in, what then is the value of fame when it can’t help her situation?
The only fame that can secure your life here and across there is salvation, it’s a good thing to be famous and affluent in gold and silver but at the end it’s vanity, it’s all vanity because you aren’t leaving here with one piece of item.
Celine Dion publicly is a member of church of Satan, she sold her soul to the Devil, she has had a time with Satan, currently she suffers a medical crisis her fame and affluence can’t help, she’s in a state where everything is already spelling vanity.
What’s is money when you have it all yet you’re sick, and dying slowly the money can’t do anything for you, she has packs of dollars and gold, but they can’t give her a tick of a healing, what’s money? What extent can it take you?
What’s money when we have it all yet it can’t save us, a time always come when we shall come face to face to reality only to realise we’re helpless even with all the fame, this is the time we understand the worth of salvation.
Let your flesh prosper in silver and gold, for it’s a blessing from God, but above all let your soul prosper like wise in salvation, if your soul only prospers in silver and gold then there shall be “A time nothing comes back.”
Celine Dion is in a state of nothing comes back, it’s a pity, she’s trying to grab it all back, but she still got the time to save herself, but it can only be by the grace of God to denounce her membership in the consortium.
In the last days, in a situation when it seems nothing comes back, the grace is sufficient enough if you sincerely reach out, how long or how deep your commitment is won’t count, the grace of God is more committed than your commitments.
The thief got a few hours on the cross, he reached out and got saved, even if it’s a second you’ve got in “A time of nothing comes back” just reach out to Him.
