After death what happens

Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens after death. Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to heaven or hell. Others believe that at the moment of death, people are instantly judged and sent to their eternal destinations. Still others claim that when people die, their souls/spirits are sent to a “temporary” heaven or hell, to await the final resurrection, the final judgment, and then the finality of their eternal destination. So, what exactly does the Bible say happens after death? First, for the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death is to be “away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thess...

Release Yourself from Bitterness

Never be Mastered by your Moods but do what the word of GOD's says.... ‘Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger.’ Ephesians 4:31 Anger is often the product of frustrated expectations. We expect something, and when we don’t get it we end up disappointed and angry. And our anger leads to a dysfunctional personal, spiritual and relational lifestyle. Frustrated expectations are often rooted in early experiences with our parents, siblings and authority figures. Perhaps our needs for love, acceptance, security and significance were never met; then later we experienced broken commitments in marriage, business and friendships. Ultimately, smouldering anger becomes a weapon in our arsenal, threatening to hurt everything and everybody we care about. We become bitter people—avoided, excluded and lonely. God instructs us to ‘get rid of all bitterness’, so that ‘no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many’ (Hebrews 12:15 NIV). How do we obey His command? 1) By accepting and actin...

THINGS YOU’VE NOT SEEN OR HEARD

We usually limit ourselves by our thoughts, so this time try submitting your thoughts to JESUS and will see an incredible result!!... Wanna Try...go ahead!! Jeremiah 33:3   Is anything too hard for God? It can be easy to answer ‘no,’ in your mind, but try to let your whole being engage with your answer. It’s not just what you think and say, but what you do, that will prove what you believe.   When God decided that Moses would lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, Moses never questioned God’s ability, he just questioned whether God could do it through him. What was God’s answer when Moses complained that he wasn’t an articulate speaker? ‘Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say’ (Exodus 4:12 NIV). There’s far more He wants to do through you than what you’ve already experienced. Your future can be bigger – so much bigger.    The problem is, we get attached to methods which worked in the past and keep going back to them. But by always looking to ...

You’re called to a ‘special work

You are important!!! Your life means something to other person, Try to recognize. They need your support and love.  ‘Each part…helps the other parts grow.’ Ephesians 4:16 Paul writes: ‘As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body [church] is healthy and growing and full of love.’ There are two kinds of growth –  symbiotic growth parasitic growth.  Symbiotic growth is a give-and-take relationship in which both sides benefit.  Parasitic growth is when one side feeds off another but gives nothing back.  So when you come out of church and say, ‘I didn’t get anything out of that service,’ you may be practising parasitic growth. Parasitic growth is characterised by such words as ‘pray for me, preach to me, counsel me, help me, but expect nothing from me’. Symbiotic growth is characterised by such words as ‘yes, I have needs, but I’m willing to give, too, because everyone needs to benefit’, Your body is made up of system...
