Before You Die ! Hebrews 9:27 – “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Death is one of the most certain realities of human life. It is not a matter of if—it is a matter of when. Every human being must one day leave this world, regardless of wealth, fame, status, or position. But the important question is this: What must you do before you die? Many live as if life will last forever. They chase after riches, fame, and pleasures, forgetting that life on earth is temporary. The wise prepare for eternity; the foolish ignore it. 1️⃣ REMEMBER THAT LIFE IS SHORT 📖 Psalm 90:12 – “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Our days are numbered, and every sunrise brings us closer to our final breath. We are not promised tomorrow. Therefore, we must live each day with purpose, gratitude, and obedience to God. Don’t postpone repentance. Don’t delay obedience. Before you die, make peace with God. 2️⃣ REPENT AND TURN TO GOD 📖 Acts 3:19 – “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” Sin separates man from God. Before you die, ensure your sins are forgiven. Repentance is not just saying “I’m sorry,” but turning completely from sin and walking in righteousness. Many delay repentance thinking they have time, but death can come suddenly. Repent today, for tomorrow may be too late. 3️⃣ FORGIVE OTHERS AND MAKE PEACE 📖 Matthew 6:14–15 – “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Before you die, forgive those who have wronged you. Carrying bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting another to die. Let go of grudges and make peace with others. Christ forgave even on the cross—so should we. 4️⃣ FULFILL YOUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE 📖 John 9:4 – “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” You are not here by accident. God sent you with a mission—to serve Him, bless others, and advance His kingdom. Before you die, ensure you have lived meaningfully and fulfilled the assignment Heaven gave you. What legacy will you leave behind? Souls saved? Lives changed? Or just worldly possessions? 5️⃣ PREPARE FOR ETERNITY 📖 John 14:2–3 – “In my Father’s house are many mansions... I go to prepare a place for you.” Heaven is real, and so is Hell. Where you spend eternity depends on how you live now. Before you die, surrender your life to Jesus Christ, who alone gives eternal life. No man enters heaven by chance—it is by choice and faith in Christ. Your preparation for eternity begins with your salvation. Death is not the end; it is the beginning of eternity. The rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31) both died, but their destinations were different. The question today is: Where will you go when you die? Before you die— - Know God personally. - Serve Him faithfully. - Love people genuinely. - Forgive completely. - Live righteously. Life without Christ is a wasted life. Now is the time to make it right with God. PRAY THIS PRAYER - Lord, teach me to number my days wisely. - Father, forgive me for every sin and help me live in righteousness. - Lord, give me the grace to fulfill my purpose before I die. - I receive strength to forgive and let go of every bitterness. - Lord, prepare me daily for eternity with You.
