Topic: LADY WHO FAKED HER OWN FUNERAL!
Basic Scripture: 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 50 – 58
50 I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51 Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O death, where is thy victory?
O death, where is thy sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

March 2023 DAY 2
LADY WHO FAKED HER OWN FUNERAL!
1 CORINTHIANS 15: 50 – 58
MBUMA Jani, an elderly woman in Eastern Zimbabwe, stunned -her neighbours a few years ago when she announced her death and proceeded to conduct her funeral. Large numbers of mourners from far and near turned up at the woman’s house, but were shocked and angered to find the “dead” woman at the door welcoming them to her home.
She had organized the funeral complete with all prerequisites for such occasions in order to experience her own death. She said “A large number of people are dying these days and you never know when it’s your turn. I shall hold these ceremonies every year of my life from now on.” What a way of dealing with the fear of death!
I have conducted many funerals and 1 notice each time the hushed tones, the ‘can’t-hurt-a-fly’ attitude of those that attend such funerals. People fear and generally attach a vehement mystery to the dead, i once noticed a mad man who jumped out of the way as a car was about to hit him. Even mad people don’t want to die.
But as people of God (who believe in life after death), death should be like a servant and not |a master. The fear of death and not the fear of God to millions of (people is the beginning of wisdom. The word “DEATH” alone conjures images of fear and uncertainty. In this year 2023, have hope in the life beyond! Live with DAILY COURAGE and FAITH in God!
Death is an ordinary messenger which will be sent to take you to a better and more excellent country, whose builder and founder is not George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay or James Madison (The 7 founding lathers of the USA), but Jehovah God.
Plan your life with eternity in mind! Write a WILL if possible, organize your home and serve your God with all your might! Close with this: Death is the last chapter of time, but the first in eternity. So why fear death?
