When death is revealed, life must change!

By Rev. Stephen Okhutu

"When you know the truth, it will make you happy' -Jesus"

After the truth, there is another truth, which is after we have noted the facts.On the Wed 16th, this month I had an experience that totally changed my belief.Before time I used to believe that when someone dies, that is the end of him -but this is what everybody believe!

When my Divine Science instructor told me that there is nothing like death, I just believed him partially! Partly because I don't just believe in whatever is told to me. Good enough he also new this, that is why he said I will accept it with time.

It was in the morning when I was rushing to meet a client in Office with whom I had made an appointment. Normally when it is too cold I don't run because this affects my blood aeration. On that fateful day the distance was less than three meters and I thought I could just take a walk. The client called just a few minutes soon I had started walking and I had taken a shortcut where there is no Public Commuter taxis. So I opted to run.

Oops! I collapsed soon as I had taken a seat in office and this, am told took more than 10 minutes before I gained my consciousness.Before that, this is what I believed that the end of a person is after his death. I had read about Jesus Preaching that a seed is useless until it dies and germinates that is when it is able to give more yields!

Anyway, that moment of unconsciousness helped me to know that what we call death is just a transformation where the Spirit leaves the physical body. The Spirit does not die!Think about this; when I collapsed, I was still thinking, I was hearing sounds but this was like I was in a dream. Even if I fell from a raised chair, I did not hear me fall neither did I feel any pain. Actually, the pain I heard came an hour after the fall.When I came back to my physical senses, I found everybody gathered around me with threatening faces! They were carrying me to Hospital and when I told them that I was ok, no body could believe me! They came back to their senses after I asked them to pick my Mobile Internet from where it had fallen.

This reminds me of Francis Mbuga’s ‘Betrayal in the City’. He stated that the difference between jail and the outside world is just the walls and that what you think about a mad person is exactly what he thinks about you; Mad!

We waste most of our time fearing death just because we must die! If we could look at it as transformation, then we could even be more happy than we are. Think about Africa where we take our time crying for the so called dead when what actually they feel about us is sympathy!This is what I thought about the guys here who were taking me to hospital –They don’t understand! After all I had told them that I lack enough Oxygen! I was sorry to see their faces loosing beauty!'
