Death is a gain

💥D𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻💥

 There are a lot of questions you can ask yourself when you lose someone.

💥Isaiah 40: 27- 31

Isaiah 40:27 Why do you say, Jacob, Why do you say, Israel, My destiny is hidden from the LORD, My right goes unseen before my God?

Isaiah 40:28 Knowest thou not? hast thou not heard? The LORD is the God of eternity, Who created the ends of the earth; He is not weary, nor is he weary; His understanding cannot be searched

Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary, and increases the strength of the faint.

Isaiah 40:30 The youths are weary and faint, And the young men stagger;

Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the LORD renew their strength. They fly like eagles; They run, and are not weary; They walk, and are not weary. ✨

The people of Israel cried out to God in their time of need.

Life comes with its share of surprises, of events that we cannot foresee, that we cannot anticipate.

It is a difficult, unpleasant lot.

We can ask God questions: Do you like my situation?

When our world is turned upside down, what we need to do is to turn to God.

Asking God questions is not a problem.

But questioning God [which is different from asking him questions] is challenging or defying him.

Many times God does not answer in the way we would like Him to answer us.

Instead, he brings us to him.

So God asks Israel this question 👇🏼

🔥 Isaiah 40:27 Why do you say, Jacob, Why do you say, Israel, My destiny is hidden from the LORD, My right goes unnoticed before my God?

When going through difficult passages, the Lord invites us not to fall into questioning.

In moments of joy (marriage, baptism...) God is God.

When we find ourselves in funerals, in difficult moments, God is God

There is a dimension of God that is beyond us, which is why He is God.

He is the Eternal.

Sometimes He doesn't explain to us what we are experiencing, but He continues to act.

There is no resurrection without death.

There is no answer except in God.

As humans, we always like to have answers to what we are going through.

Those who trust in the Lord renew their strength.

When Jesus left the earth, He left His Spirit.

The Comforter will be with you, He will dwell with you.

There are moments, stages in life that the Lord will not spare us, but He promises to strengthen us and make sure that we move forward.

Sometimes, we see this dimension of God that meets our needs but there is this dimension of God that consists in not justifying certain actions.

When we find ourselves in circumstances where our emotions are at their lowest, the reaction is to go to Him and not run away from Him.

Who else do we have besides Him?

Paul said: death is my gain.

Death is not a final defeat because our Lord has conquered it.

The person of God the Comforter is there to comfort us.

He is not insensitive to our pain.

Anger, bitterness... are feelings that prevent us from receiving the balm of the Lord.

It is the faithfulness and goodness of the Comforter that allows us to do what is impossible for men but possible for God, to heal hearts.

My prayer is that the Lord will lift up all hearts.

Together for eternity.

The greatest hope we have is that where all men have failed, the Lord Jesus has succeeded. He has won over death.

***********************************

This passage of death is an inevitable passage.

There is this mystery which makes that, to the life, is attached the notion of the death; except that we do not know when.

Jesus overcame death so that when the time comes to leave this earth, you will leave it with peace in your heart, without fear.

I would like to give someone the opportunity to be able to make peace with God, so that when your time comes, you can leave in peace and live this life on earth for the glory of your creator.

If you have never made peace with God, now accept the life of Jesus Christ. I'm not talking about going to church, I'm talking about a real relationship to the point where if you have to leave today, you know you will be with Him.

It's about faith in Christ Jesus and it's about saying, Lord, I recognize that You are the life that I need.

I want to live a different and new life with you.

There is no more important decision than that.

Prayer of salvation

Put your hand on your heart and say this prayer with me.

👇🏼

Lord Jesus, I thank you for your love and for your grace.

I come to you as I am.

Forgive me for my sins.

Today I receive your life.

May old things pass away and all things become new.

Today I have peace with God.

Today I belong to you.

Thank you Lord.

It is in these moments that we know how far God's word has impacted us.

Anything that comes from a woman is dead.

When a person gives their life to Christ, they come alive again.

Death has no age.

The apostles, we know in what conditions they left.

It is God who watches over, protects and leads.

🔥Ephesians 2:4-5

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

Ephesians 2:5 we who were dead through our trespasses, has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved);

We must show our dominion over pain.

🎼Thank you, Thank you Jesus. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Thank You, Thank You Jesus with all our hearts.

Praise to You Jesus, praise to You Jesus, praise to You Jesus at all times.🎼

Praise to You, Lord Jesus in all times, because You paid the price to bring us back to life.

With You, the Father has raised us to life.

From now on, we no longer exist but we live. Therefore, for us, 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

Death is not a tragedy for us. It is for those who exist that it is a tragedy.

For us who are alive, resurrected with You because of the price You paid, death is a gain.

Job would never have imagined that what he was going through was a bet of God on his life. We understand nothing and we know nothing.  So Father, for all the words that carelessly came out of our mouths during an unfortunate event and spoke against You, we ask for Your forgiveness and pray that You will give us the wisdom to apply our hearts to counting our days and preparing ourselves for the day of departure.

We do not die, we will leave.

There are many questions but no matter what, You reign on the throne.

The gates of Hades will not prevail against Your church, in the name of Jesus Christ.

The blood of Jesus covers us so that no predator of darkness can accomplish his evil purpose in our lives, in Jesus' name.

The hour that You have set in the council of Your sovereignty will come for each one of us so that each one of us will go out and release the full potential that You have put in us.

When the early church was going through painful times, Your work did not stop.

No matter what happens, Your work will continue to be done in the lives of all of us, in the name of Jesus Christ.

We will go on regardless because You have sealed us and committed us to go on. Nothing will stop us because we are righteous of God.

To You who uphold Your church be the honor, the glory.
