SLEEP IS A REHEARSAL OF DEATH


I woke up with the thought of sleep. How just a mere act of sleeping is a reminder that we will all lie down one day and we would not wake up. We will die. But thank God for a sleep is just a reminder that one day we'll surely die, but today we are still alive .

When we are awake, we should celebrate the fact that God has given us victory over a mini-death. He has resurrected you from a deep sleep which could have been for ever.

You may not agree with me, but sleep is a metaphor to depict death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Think about it, when you're asleep you become oblivion to your environment, same as when you would be dead.

If you are reading this blog, it means you are awake from your slumber, and it's a proof that you have just experienced a mini-resurrection, but bear it in mind that your "mini-resurrection is a rehearsal of DEATH. Think about the day you'll sleep and never arise, but before that would happen, you need to take advantage of each day God has given you to show some kindness to the people around you. Impact their lives in so many positive ways so that when you die they (those you affected in positive ways) will continue to show gratitude to God for all the evidence of your kindness in their lives.

Have a lovely day folks.
