Where not to die!
You might wondered what a topic. Never mind. In the water, acquatic animals can die there. But when you find a dead fish on land, you wondered 'how come'?
When you see deaths of a warrior lying on ground at the battle field, you might ask little or no question. But when the same warrior while in service died not in the barrack or camp, you wondered why!
I will tell the story of the Eagles...
Don't forget; anything anytime can die but not anywhere!
There were two eagles who loved to hunt for all manners of wild animals ranging from reptiles
to sea animals and even other flying birds inferior to Eagles.
There came a day when they were to go hunting, before leaving, they both vowed to hunt the biggest of the reptiles animals. However, they were cautioned not to be too carried away with the caught because of the tendency of attacks from others reptiles.
The two went hunting. Eagle one hunt a big snake but not without a fight. It struggled to be able to crushed the head of the snake. After it, as their usual deeds, carried it to the peak of the mountain to devour it...
The second eagle also was in its task for a big caught, hunted a very magnanimous mammal. It was so big that it took this eagle half an hour to finish this creature off while the battle lasts.
After defeating it, it's time to carry it on-board to the eating place which is on a very high mountain.
He took it but cos the mammal was too heavy, it falls from time to time. The eagle was curious to carrying it so he can show his counterpart what he had caught but up to no avail.
While several attempts were made, the other mammals of the same kind of the one this eagle had slaughtered surrounded him so as to chase him off their family who has been murdered.
The second eagle fell he can fight them off but the opposite was what he got. With his weak wings as a result of several trials to pick up what he had killed, to soar became difficult. In a geeve, he was bombarded and captured by these creatures. Fatally wounded, and later killed. The most annoying part is that, these mammals couldn't devour him.
The eagle one has long awaited the arrival of his friend knowing it's usual to come late for the day delivery. He decided to go for an evening patrol.
After few hours of searching and flying, he spotted an usual lying ow of a familiar body and shape like its own. lol and behold, it's his friend.
How come you die here was the first question he muttered?
How could you die here?
Out of confusion, he moved near it and all of its body were already covered with ants. Tried all he could to rescue the dead body of his friend but to no avail.
He left all alone wondering...
WHAT'S THE MORAL...?
When you die, where you die matters!
When you die, how you die also matter So!
Eagles only die atop not beneath. Many people today because of what they're after, what they're carrying, what they're trying, what here targeting will make them die in an uncharted territory.
It's more honorable to die where you belong.
Lazarus died at the right place. The rich man died at the wrong place. The location here isn't of geographical content but of spiritual!
Many will die with a lot of affluence and wealth, but their spiritual location isn't in Christ Jesus. More so, others who have nothing and regarded as poor will die with a wrong tie to their location.
VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THE TIME COMES AND NOW IS WHEN THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF MAN AND THEY THAT HEAR WILL LIVE... But how? When a man calls you and you're within his location, all you would do is to answer. Else there an be no answer.
