Anyone require a meaning? ''IN A FUNERAL EACH MOURNER MOURNS THE FATE THAT BEFALLS HIM,NOT THE DECEASED''I wrote this stuff few months ago with this topic,''Bollarnle is Dead!''LOL. OMG! I didnt realise I was so loved .U needed to av seen the number of people that called my fone that day to confirm.SSome to really just be sure so dat it may form their stats.Some even sent me sms to 'scold' me on such stuff(I mean by the time they read it to the end). It was so funny! All just for one reason or the other, but there was one taht was so profound, I recall my former boss who was some kind of 'Miranda'(Av u seen ,'' The Devil wears Prada'?) If u avnt ,then I cant help you to understand that. But 4 those who av, can u figure out wat it wld look like if Miranda called back dat babe dat walked out on her to confirm if she was dead probably after reading the newspaper headlines or seen it on TV?can u ever picture it? lol. but hey,it sure happened! up Nollywood! even Hollywood no act dat part finish(lol). Or av u seen ,'''Why Did I Get Married?'' if u av, can u picture Sheila's first husband calling her to find if she is still alive?(lol) can u feel it? can U? men, some ppl make forgiveness really hard thing to do.It sure sucks,I tell you. But hey, U are strongly advised to go on forgiving anyway cos unforgiveness kills faster than any cancer known to mankind. but hey, dont take the msg in this lightly. Please read along and I do hope u will get something even more. Death is sure so Life must COUNT. feel me?Here is the ''stuff''...
Bollarnle Is Dead!
Yes.did that hit u below the belt? maybe u av even heard enof of deaths recently to feel anything.-well,it is just anoda of such... but u cld u just take a few minutes to reflect on wat u're doing now and pause a bit. and ask urself these questions:1.wat will u do with ur life ?2.wat are u doing wit ur life now?3.wat wil God say of ur life when u cross over to d other side?- I mean dat time when d news of ur death will filter in just like this one....wat are u going to av lived for?who will u av lived for?wat will ppl say of u?and most of all,wat will God say of u? does this sound like any of those sermon u hear @a funeral? Esp of the kind that u hear @ d funeral of young ppl,that young,promising,handsome,rich,educatted with all the degres(more than that of the one on a thermometer) man or woman,or is it sammy needle whose birthday was supposed to be av been 21st of June and who was to av an album release on dat day or ok, let me come down a bit to one who most of us reading this mail might know,Tunde Morgan,Tope,or is it Lekan? The list seem endless these days.... it doesnt even seem to make sense anymore! I mean,this whole death issue. now think....Who are u passing that thing to?that idea,that wealth,etc.to?who will be able to carry on when u are gone? more than u are doing now,guess u shld pass it on more . bcos this death issue seems like one 'mini-epidemic' or something these days!this is not to scare u- no ,not at all. but these things happen,and we nid to address this.It got to me during the course of the week that passed and am led to share this with u. wat will u just do? of u're d next? well,i must remind u that the fact dat u're still hearing d news is just bcos u are stilll alive(lord,i thank u 4 d gift of life)so, u av d call to make to make ur life count again! yea, someone hurt u? someone disappointed u? someone betrayed ur trust? someone broke ur heart?or u broke someone's heart? someone bought a car? someone works in a multinational and earns wat some HR ppl call,'thief salary'?,someone married a beautiful wife? someone got married to dream guy-TDH? someone got her masters degree or even Phd? someone did this someone did that? yea, all stuffs for d living!but wat is d essence, i mean d substance in all of that? wat value can anyone get in u or even after u av done all? who are u making happy each day? who prays to God fro u(even when u are gone or not),who goes to bed happy and filled? who do u clothe? who has ur shoulder to cry on? who can find a friend in u? who , just who? or isnt that the essence of life or isnt that wat Jesus said will count for us in heaven(matt 25:31-46)? just wat ,will u give account of or for?just wat?pls stop to think. I know this is going out to very busy,rich,righteous , demon chasing,tongue speaking ppl,but this is from one of u who has taken time as well to ponder on this all-important-issue.let's disect this 2geda.,ppl of God.let's do this individually first-bcos we're going to give account one-on-one. death is sure.surer than sure.so, wat are u going to do while u are still alive. dont take this as one of those stuffs written or sent for sober reflection which is just for a while or evn for some days then evryone goes back to normal business-business as usual!.but instead, let this serve as a guide to u, to me, to us daily on how we live our lives.u know,these days,it is like we are so used to some bad stufss that it gets so difficult to draw d line btw wat is right or wrong. we just do-u know, anything goes.but hey, let's check, let's check!time is ticking away....bcos d truth is, if we live up to 80,100 or evn 200, d end is sure going to come.my sincere prayer is this, we will all live to fulfil destiny. we will all live to do wat God has in store 4 us. and we will be able to do all we intend, dream of etc. but guess wat, we go still die o.so, it all still boils down to wat wld av counted for our lives.well, dear friends,I pray God broadens our heart and open our eyes to see the depth of this. meanwhile, I will like to ask that we pray for the souls departed and more than the one minute silence in their honor, av a one min silence in honor of ur self, who has at least read this to the very end. but this time,as one who is alive and well and thinking and going to do wat counts for thus life and for all ETERNITY.as for whether Bolanle is dead or not, she isnt (yet) bcos she is the one who is making this clarion call to life.She till dey kampe aving fun!and getting d devil madder!I av u in my prayers always. PLS pray with me as well.
One love,
