How Will You Be Remembered?


Imagine yourself coming into a church. You are walking down the aisle and to your left and right are people with grief written all over their faces. You can feel the sense of loss in the atmosphere. It’s a funeral service. And it’s just about to begin.

You walk to the casket and you come face to face with yourself. Really, it’s your funeral service forty, fifty or sixty years from now. And the people there are loved ones who have come to honour you and show appreciation to God for your life.

You take a seat and look through the program in your hand. Four people will speak about you; your colleague at work, your pastor, your child and your spouse. The question is, what will they say about you? Or what would you want them to say about you? What difference would you have made in their lives. Think deeply about this.

The answer to those questions will define the direction in which your life should go right now. It will clarify your values. It will re-organize your priorities. Some things that look so important will suddenly not seem to be the most important anymore. The answer to those questions will give you a clear sense of direction.

To die effectively, we must live effectively. And to live effectively is to fulfill God’s purpose for bringing us into this world. God has a purpose for each of us. That purpose is God’s yardstick for measuring our success.

The greatest tragedy in life is for one to die without having achieved God’s purpose for his or her life. I believe that the greatest question in life is; “WHY WAS I BORN?” And I am convinced that the greatest day of a man’s life is the day he discovers the answer to that question.

A life that is lived without fulfilling its God-ordained purpose therefore is a waste of time. Life without purpose is an experiment. But this life is too short for experiments.

Ask yourself these questions; “Why am I here? What difference am I supposed to make? What contributions am I supposed to make to my family, my society and this world?”

Your answers will determine how you will be remembered.

You will Succeed!

DOMINION VERSUS DOMINATION. (God Created Men And Women To Dominate The Earth, Not One Another.)

God Created Men And Women To Dominate The Earth, Not One Another.      Both males and females were create in God's image. The basis of their equality before God is that man, the spirit, resides within both of them. As physical beings they were created of the same essence, but differently because each has been designed with specific purposes to fulfill. The different ways in which their dominion assignment is carried out does not affect their equality; it only reflects their distinct purposes, designs, and needs.       The male was created to exercise dominion over the earth through his priority, position, and assignment. The female was created to help the male fulfill God's dominion purposes for mankind in both the earthly and spiritual realms. It is God's intention that, together, their individual strengths would combine to produce exponential results outcomes much greater than either could accomplish alone. The woman adds to the...

NICK VUJICIC. (NO ARMS NO LEGS). AN INSPIRING STORY.

Hi Friend, My name is Nick Vujicic and I am thankful to have been born 30 years ago with no arms and no legs. I won’t pretend my life is easy, but through the love of my parents, loved ones, and faith in God, I have overcome my adversity and my life is now filled with joy and purpose. I reside now in California with my wife, Kanae, and we both love seeing people’s lives changed for the better or touched in some way. It is my hope that your life is positively impacted by my story. I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and it was a shock to my parents that I arrived without limbs. There is no medical reason for it. My parents did their very best to keep me in the mainstream school system and give me every opportunity to live to the fullest. I was blessed to have a brother and a sister as my best friends too.

Arch Bishop Benson A. Idahosa. (A God's General The World Wil Never Forget.)

Nigeria is the home of several notable men of God, but I do believe that none has made such an international impact as the late Benson Andrew Idahosa affectionately called PAPA or BA by his followers. Idahosa was a Charismatic Pentecostal preacher, and founder of the Church of God Mission International with headquarters in Benin City, Nigeria. He was the first Pentecostal Archbishop in Nigeria, and is often referred to as the father of Pentecostalism and televangelism in Nigeria. Benson Andrew Idahosa was born in Edo State on September 11, 1938 of poor non-Christian parents in a predominantly non-Christian
