YOUR FUNERAL

Do you know what happens after your funeral?
In a few short hours...
The crying will die down and
Your family are going to start
Making arrangements to feed

Your relatives and your friends
Some of your relatives are going
To be discussing current events
As they eat nshima, vegetables and fish
And some people will call your family

To tell them that they can’t make it in person
Because of some emergency
Other people are going to start making
Travel arrangements to go back to their homes
Because life is just too short
And someone in your family
Is going to start arguing
That they contributed more
Financially than others did
Eventually, the crowd is going to go their separate ways

And every once in a while
Your cellphone would ring from people
That didn’t realize that you had died
In a few days your children will go back to work
Your employer will begin to search for your replacement

There will be new elections new scandals
And the traffic on the great road of big cities will be the same
The sports games will go on as planned
In six months, your relatives, friends, family,
Loved ones and spouse will be watching

A comedy on DSTV and all laughing
Having a great time, the 1st anniversary of your passing
Will be celebrated in a grand manner
You will be forgotten at an astonishing pace
Everyone's life, will go back to normal

But in a blink of an eye
Years are going to have gone by
There will be very few people left to remember you
NOW TELL ME...if people forget you so easily
Then who are you living your life for?

You spend your whole life worrying
About what people think about you
Do you know what happens after your funeral?

IF YOU DON WALKER FAR

Remember this
No matter how far
You don stay from home
I beg you make you come home
Because na house make sense die
 
Remember say
Your own be your own
If everybody don give up on you
Your own no go fit give you up
Even if them give up on you
 
Remember say
Papa God love no fit run out on you
Him love never dies talkless to give up
On you as you be Him pikin
Just come house as house make sense
 
If you don walker far
Remember to trace your walker back
To your papa house e dey wait
For the front of the door to welcome you
No matter how far you don
 
Go away from house
See outside no pay
As you go lost for that outside
Where you dey like this
If you don walker far
 
God dey call you to come house
He still get matter for your matter
Him no go fit fanish you as you bi
Him pikin wey Him die for
Before you go lost abeg come house back.

DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR SOUL

If your treasure is with God
Your heart and soul will always
Be with Him and in tune with Him
One day you will call it a day
People we cry and mourn for you
 
But sooner or later
They will move on
Just as if nothing has happened
While you’ve breath your last breathe
And life has gone off from your body
 
Only what’s left his your soul
Which we forever live out there in eternity
Is a long road for you to take unprepared?
This world and its deeds we fade away
But in the chase of this and that
 
Please don’t lose sight of your soul
Because the world will come calling
Strongly at you to do this and follow that
A lot of trends are out there
But follow the trend that will gain you eternity with God
 
Because is only one life
And it all likes a sleep in the night
Life is vapour we are here now
Tomorrow we’re gone fading away like stars of the morning
Don’t lose sight of your soul
 
In your chase for the food for the body
In your chase of knowledge don’t get
In your chase of position seeking don’t let it slip by
In your chase of cloth and raiment don’t be carried away
In all that you chase don’t chase it all at the detriment of your soul
 
 

...REMEMBER.

Remember now thy creator

in the days of thy youth

while the evil days come not,

nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say,

I have no pleasure in them; Eccl. 12:1

The sun is shinning today life is still in you

the day is bright and fair, with blood flowing in your vain

the breath of life is still in you with the normal duty going

all the same. When you finish your work here on earth

and you go to heaven you will remember the word;

remember; don’t allow the activities of time

and its pleasures to make you forget‘remember’ the lord, 

what was lost and ‘remember’ lots wife.

Signs of the time are every where

and there’s a brand new feeling in the air

keep your eyes upon the eastern sky

lift up your heads for redemption draweth near.

The world is rushing on with its deeds,

fashion, and ways of life.

Don’t allow the pressure of life,

The activities of time to forget the Lord

Remember in the world,

the demand of the world

do not want you to think

about Christ if you don’t take note

of the world remember on the earth,

you will remember it in the grave (eternity).

All the people you’ve melt,

the places you’ve been to,

all the messages you’ve hard,

all the discipline you’ve gotten,

the conferences, convention and retreat

you’ve attended. Everyday when you wake

up meet and face with challenges

when faced with temptation and trials,

when your relatives are saying

is it the way you will spend your life?

When the false prophet is inviting you

to come over this place that place,

as a worker you are getting tired

of the work of God and you want to live

not to be serious and dedicated again.

Remember if you don’t remember today

while the porters of eternity is open

how the preachers labor on you

and you landed on the other side of eternity

with it doesn’t matter attitude. Numbers 15:39

you will say where am I? Then

you will remember the messages,

conferences, every discipline given to you

the preachers’ labor on you on that day

when no there’s no restoration, restitution and repair

then you will remember the lord. Eccl 12:1; psalm 119:55, 57, 60.

The first love we have

the commitment and name is still there

the activities are there how is it today

the commitment, consecration unto the lord Reve 2:4-5

what have we lost, the lost consecration and commitment

then the lord will forget the carelessness of the past

and you will be useful more than ever you imagine

remember what was lost. Reve 3:2.

The world will not continue to be like the way it is

remember history

past century, kingdoms and communities

all are given into changes. Luke 17:28-37

when temptation comes,

discouragement and difficulties come

on your way to heaven opinion of men and relatives

in the place of work tiring to make you compromise. Luke 17: 32

When things you abound in the past are tiring to come back

“remember lots wife’’ we are getting nearer the end of time

the demands of the world

it’s pleasure and ways of life is beckoning on us

standing on the promises of God never giving into change,

…Remember.
