"Death is inevitable" thus Be Good!!
I'm not here to scare you about death, but just to lean how to be good in everything you do, coz someday you account for all what you have done. Life is kinda too short for us, someday we will have to leave this Earth to our respective places in heaven, your department in heaven deals with the works you have done on Earth.
Sometimes when I hear everywhere and there that someone has just passed away, it's sounds awful to me, because death isn't a reversible occurrences, once it has happened,it has happened no going back about it. This made me heed to this adage which goes thus "Death is inevitable". No one will pass away without been dead. There are two different persons in the Bible that didn't die, they were taken by chariot of fire. But don't still exist anymore, I don't think there are still people that will be taken like that of Enoch and Elijah in the Bible. I'm not going to biblical aspect for today, but we have to make some things known to ourselves. Just flow with me as I take you through lot of things here.
Alot of times, I do think lot of things, I go through some imaginations, which I couldn't put into explanation, even though I did, you won't understand, because I can only understand my thought. I have come to realise some things in this life. I come to realise that "all we do has a reward, and the reward starts from when we were here on planet Earth" Be it good or bad, we will take our rewards right from when we were here on Earth. Some Individuals has done a lot of good things back ago, and now they are receiving their rewards. While other people have decided to do bad, likewise they are still getting their reward. There's this Yoruba adage which goes thus "Òmó to Ra fila fun baba é, atí Òmó to sí fila lorí babe é, Adura kan na lo ma jogbà" All those words simply means, a child who purchased a cap for his father, and the child who remove cap from his father's head, both of them will receive the same prayer. And the prayer is; Your own child will do likewise. That means the child who bought cap for his father will take is reward when his own son will do the same thing to him, and vice versa. We start getting our rewards right from planet Earth.
There's a day we will account for all the things we have done, that's why we need to be good for ourselves. You're rich doesn't mean you will go to paradise or hell, likewise a poor person. There's this wrong motive of ours, that we will go to hell if we are rich and that, we will go to heaven if we are poor. That's completely a wrong motive or thought. Lazarus didn't go to heaven because he was poor, he went there because of his righteousness, and the rich Man didn't find himself in hell Because he was Rich, it was literally because he misused the wealth.
Final thought!
Know this and know peace that, someday we all have to leave this world, we all just came to labour here, and soon we will go our eternal home. Our homes will be different regarding to the works of our hands on this Earth. Hence, in everything you do be Good.
