THE INEVITABLE APPOINTMENT
THE INEVITABLE APPOINTMENT
Tuesday, 05 June 2018
(FROM JUNE 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)
SCRIPTURE: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Everyone on earth has an inevitable and unchangeable appointment with death.
Our Anchor Scripture makes us to understand that there is an inevitable appointment with death and the inescapable judgment. The consciousness of this imparts caution to action. Many people live anyhow on earth because they are not aware of the inevitable appointment and inescapable judgement.
Now, I will like you to take note of the following key facts:
1. Everyone on earth is scheduled on an appointment
Everyone on earth has an inevitable and unchangeable appointment with death. This is what many people do not like to hear but the truth is, it is appointed unto men once to die… (Hebrews 9:27). Many people live on earth as if we have a limitless time on earth.
2. Our days on earth are numbered
Whether one is going to live for seventy or eighty years and above, one’s days on earth are numbered (Psalms 90:10, 12). We have a limited time on earth. As you are reading this message right now, there are people whose time just expired on earth; there are those whose time on earth will expire before the end of today or the arrival of tomorrow. This is not a curse but the truth. Statistics show that one hundred and five people die around the world every single minute. Beloved, you do not have unlimited time in this world; your days are numbered. You may still have up to thirty or forty years to live, but your days are numbered.
3. Nobody can live wisely who does not think deeply
Nobody can live wisely who has a shallow thought. To live wisely, you must think deeply. When you number your days, you apply yourself to the wisdom of wise thoughts. Those who live wisely are those who understand that their days are numbered. There are many people living carelessly as if this world will continue to exist for ever.
Beloved, my counsel is, arm yourself with the mentality that no one is to too wise, strong, rich, beautiful, influential or powerful to escape the appointment with death.
Remember this: Everyone on earth has an inevitable and unchangeable appointment with death.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Go through today’s message again.
2. Live with the consciousness of the inevitable appointment with death so you can re-order and re-organise your life.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace to always live with the consciousness of the inevitable appointment and inescapable judgement so I can live rightly, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
