LIFE BEYOND BEREAVEMENT 1

February 12. Numbers ch 4-6

LIFE BEYOND BEREAVEMENT

”There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.“‭

‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

GOOD DAY: ”But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.“

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

We shall treat this series BEYOND BEREAVEMENT for a few days to help anyone bereaved of loved ones to pick up and live again. I have been bereaved of children and God has comforted me and gotten me informed about our total being that made recovery quite easy. Today, we shall start with the basic truth that everyone has to know. The home call of the CEO of Access Bank in Nigeria through a helicopter crash has shaken the Nigerian public. He has an aged father and mother who are strong Christians and who need support at this time.

Truth 1. is: there is a time to give birth and a time to die. We gladly prepare for and accept the time to give birth. But no one prepares for the time to die. We all even believe that it can only happen to the next person and not me. Please accept death as possible to you and anybody at any time.

2. Nobody knows the time and where and how death will come. Our times are in His hands of the Lord. Psalm 31:15a ”You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭16‬ ‭TPT‬‬. It is therefore good to set our hearts to number our days.
