THE DEATH SERIES: EPISODE 3: THE HEAVEN DILEMA

Hello family... Top of the morning to you,  it's getting hotter as this series goes on... several people have called to chastize me while some others have called to agree with me...
However i owe anyone who disagrees no apology, we are sometimes so entrenched in the status quo that we find it hard to understand Truth even when it's light shines directly on us.

Anyway i will be glad to answer any questions, simply direct them to tgbamila@gmail.com

Today we go straight to EPISODE 3: THE HEAVEN DILEMA

As usual a strange title, but if I must be honest to myself I am really in a dilema as regards the existence of Heaven to the believer.( Hold on, I have not back slided yet) but everytime I see a death and the attendant reactions from christians I am forced to wonder if Heaven is real.



I grew up hearing stories about the beauty of Heaven, how the streets are paved with gold and how there are crowns waiting for the believer who gets there.  However the only downside to it is that it is not immediately accessible to us. we have to wait for either death or for the rapture.
I remember a particular sunday school where a little boy stood up, raised his hands and said, "Aunty, why can't we all go to heaven now?" the adults burst into laughter.

Herein lies my Dilema; if heaven is real with all the attendant glory, and the only two ways to access it is either death or rapture, how come those are the two occurences most dreaded by the church today. the mention of the second coming of Christ in some churches today seems like taboo, whilst every prayerband is praying against the spirit of death. A secular musician who got puzzled had to sing "...Nobody wan die but them wan go heaven..."

As much as Christ has conquered death and given us access to life, if death is the only way to get to heaven for now, since Christ tarries, then why are christians so terrified of dying? does it mean they do not really believe what they confess about heaven being a better place? does it mean some believers do not really believe what they profess?

Apostle Paul was so happy to die, he said he had fought a good fight, had finished the race and was now ernestly waiting for the crown Christ will give him on the day of reckoning and then he made a profound statement that not only him, but a prize also awaits those who look forward eagerly to the day of Christ's coming.

I was listening to Benefit of Death recently, a message preached by Archbishop Benson Idahosa before he passed on to glory and I heard this "Pa Elton said to me Don't raise me from the dead when I die infact 6hours after I die bury me.. I have served God for 56years... I have done every thing God asked me to do. Don't buy a coffin, wrap me in a cloth and bury me; use the money for coffin to buy tracts and share to people And that's exactly what we did" -
Archbishop B.A Idadosa.

in my opinion that was a man who firmly believed in Heaven, and wanted to go there. his instruction "...Don't raise me from the dead when i die" is instructive. he knew he had lived a life of purpose and he was ready to go home to be with the lord.


My conclusion is this, The minute you truly believe Heaven is real and heaven awaits you when you die, you stop being afraid of death and concentrate on making maximum impact here on earth because you know your time here on earth is limited. that way when the master comes to take you home, you stretch your arms to him lovingly saying "Receive me."

I AM ADDICTED

Well sha... i know this title will get you all wondering...
but there it is...i have said it, i gradually became an addict.(it feels so ominous).
however i'm owning up to you all first for myself and then for you all. many people seem to think inspirational speakers, ministers and writers are above reproach and are probably one step away from heaven. well while i can't talk for all i can talk for myself. and maybe a few others in the Bible like Elijah etc who were men of like passion. even a pastor is first of all a christian and thus has his own battles to fight and overcome same as every other believer. yea back to my story.

For years i have kidded myself, i have told myself i just like drinking, if i feel like i can stop, it's not harmful to me and all sorts, but truth be told, those were all excuses i was giving myself to cover up the face that i had become an addict.

once i tried to stay away from drinking for 3 days, i succeeded but at the end of the third day i walked briskly to a kiosk, bought a drink and gulped it all down, got a second and did same, then i finally got a third one that i took home and drank leisurely.  another time i went off drinking for two full weeks but the story remained same. immediately i got off my two week ban i relapsed.

guys normally i would average 8 bottles a day, but lately i have been able to cut down to roughtly 4 bottles a day. and i usually applaud myself that i have done well, but truth be told, even 4 bottles a day is just as harmful.

hence today i tell myself the truth i am addicted to soft drinks and it's time for me to kick it!!!
yea i know at this point some of you would laugh and say i'm a joker but be it soft drink, or alcoholic drinks, or food, or drugs, or cigarettes or anything at all, an addiction is an addiction and if it is not kicked in time it could destroy you.

So today is day one of my being 'clean', it's been a tussle so far, as i type this 3 empty bottle of water sit on my office table, and i have had about 2 more when i went out. it's not going to be easy i know but it is possible and it is worth it...
i know i'm still a work in progress but i enjoin you to come with me on this journey as we kick off negative addictions together. this is the process i intend using
1. Admit you are an addict
2. Make up your mind to kick the addiction
3. Ask God to help you overcome the addiction
4. become accounntable to someone or some people
5. Make conscious effort (as much as in your power stay away from triggers)
6. if you slip, don't beat yourself up or give up and slide back into your addiction pick yourself up and ask God for strength to continue
7.Build your spirit man (this will give you an edge over the flesh) Gal 5:16
i hope someone will join me on this train to put an end to addiction, in taking back our lives.

that's all for now, i'm Minister Effizey and i'm an addict

Dear Ladies

This letter is a passionate appeal to the lady folk on behalf of the guys. I know I'll probably get criticized after some people have read it and I know I'll hear all sort of comments admonishing guys to mind their business. But the association of heavenly conscious Nigerian guys (AHCNG) begged me to put this up and I have obliged. May the willing person take heed.
DEAR LADIES,
Though "Everyone is free to dress the way he or she likes without
hindrance from anyone..but I still want to beg you to please help
us..you know some of us are weak in nature..we can't just see and
ignore.. Please help us..we sincerely want to be faithful, but your
dressing and seductive acts keeps making us fall. a lady of dignity and
character does not dress indecently to entice, seduce or tempt the
weak men. moderation and morality is needed in everything..
Dressing to kill is becoming the new fashion sense..ladies now throw
decency to the dogs, exposing erogenous and sensitive parts of their
bodies in order to look sexy. In fact hardly would any man ignore the
tempting parade of luscious ladies who step beyond the borders of
decency to win admiration. We can't look to the front, back, left nor right
again..all we see is temptation..even church is fast becoming ungoable nowadays..lolz,
even televisions is becoming unwatcheable, home videos expecially
ghanian movies is becoming MOJO.. The prevailing rate at which our
ladies dress the 'way they like' is stealing the concentration of most
of us.. (As much as we strive to be faithful..you guys are just
making it difficult)The wave of fashion craze is sweeping many
ladies into flood of concupiscence...
A virtuous woman is a someone of worth, dignity, character and beauty;
does not dress indecently to entice, seduce or tempt the weak men.
She has senses, spirituality, simplicity and style in her dressing and
her entire wardrobe honors God. The style of a virtuous woman is
not determined by Hollywood but by the Holy Word - she doesn't just
follow trends; she sets trends.. She doesn't just follow glamorous
models; she is a glorious role model.
I begin to wonder In this era or generation..can one still find this
woman? Does inmodest dressing really affect guys in anyway?
PLS LADIES HELP US TO MAKE HEAVEN!
Before you attack me watch out for my next post titled Dear Gents.

P.S I would have put pictures but it would only defeat the purpose of the article. Cheers guys.
