WHAT IS GOOD!!! Ecclesiastes 2:3

Well the statement “I am alive” comes more frequently from people’s mouth than I imagine. People will ask you, are you still alive? And the sure reply will be, I am, as you can see, I am still breathing, talking, working, walking, eating and so on, what else will make you know that I am alive?

Only God knows where we are going with this, I say to myself, because definitely I am guilty of this.

Life isn’t about what you call norms and do or what you confirm it to be. Someone can be doing all the listed activities and still be dead. Like some will say-a working dead-. Living should not only be measured by those activities, because most of those, if not all, are common to animals, animals live but sincerely, they are not alive.

You are alive when others can smell your “aroma”, your presence is felt in a place even when you are not there, definitely you’ve deposited some things there. To be alive is to “breathe fresh air”, if no one can say you breathe into their life- you may as good be dead.

You do all the eating, drinking and all but the main purpose of your being alive has been ignored, I guess you need to resurrect. In Genesis chapter 1, we were told to subdue, replenish, and have dominion. If you are not doing those, once again resurrect!!!.

The writer of Ecclesiastes said he needed to do some things, but then he paused, to actually see what exactly is good for man to do all their life. It takes wisdom to think that way. Have you ever imagine working alongside with someone, and while working and talking, the person said in his conversation “when I was alive…”, what an horrible experience it will, knowing you are working and talking with a ghost. But this is seriously similar to working with someone who isn’t living out her dream/purpose. It’s so as working with a ghost.

The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, what do you think he is stealing, killing or destroying?, don’t you think it’s what makes up life in you?. And that’s the most reason why many are empty but still believe they are living, the devil has taken away what matters(life) from them and given them something of lesser value to play with like a toy. Just pause and ask this question – is the devil joking with my life right now?

He gives you plenteous reasons why you should not live a purposeful life(fear, weaknesses, people etc) but he will never give you a single reason why you should, that’s because the devil understand the depth of what God had deposited in you and he knows it’s a threat to him.

Are you still dead or alive?, when the question are you alive? Comes to you, what was your answer, what is your answer and what will be your answer.

What is called life is definitely not the normal day-to-day activities, but the abnormal ones that encompass you shining in darkness. And let your life so shine before all men. I imagine buying a lamp, very beautiful one with good looks and shape, then on getting home, I put it on only to realize it’s not bringing light. I will conclude this is not a lamp, this is a toy or a dead lamp.

Let me say this, don’t appear beautiful, until you are beautiful” and “don’t constitute to the GHOST ATMOSPHERE of this world”, get up and follow the light (Jesus) that you make get and live the life to the fullness.
