Dying: The Path To Life!

The greatest temptation is stopping.Stopping brings Death, to stop is the beginning of capital Death: the great principality and power. Success is an enemy to growth, the more the success, the more the temptation not to die, yet to live, we must die 7 times, we must go through these changes 7 times:from physical, to mental,to emotional,to follower, to leader, to elder,to ancestor. The task of truly living is that of continually dying, that is love, the action word.Changing is dying, And this constant changing is the test of life.We must struggle against the status quo, no matter how successful or workable we think it is. If we refuse this death, nature and events will take turn on us, and that is worse. To die is to live. Dying, this change, is a journey without which we dont reach our destination. Examples of these positive dyings are: Oprah, Gates,Mandela,Ghandi,Bakare,Okotie,Adelakun .And all christian saints have learnt this art of continual deaths. Examples of negative dying are Mugabe, Ghadafi, Mubarak, Abacha etc. And this positive dying is not so difficult if we but have the desire to make others grow, this desire for others is that which is scarce , and that which is truly scarce is love.And we lack this desire to make others grow because we lack awareness, the awareness, that others are we, and that we are others.That is Truth! Lord show us the truth that we can truly live. Amen!
