DOES THE DEAD STILL LIVES?
Bible verse: Roman 6:2
```Rom.6.2 - By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?```
Little story
Then there was this great explosion me and my friend were in the middle of it, there is no way we can hide from this as we do before for this explosion is an atomic bomb. At the split of a second everything happened and there came this undescribable sound. In the split of a second everything that nourish our eyes in the city, those beautiful building adorn with exotic flowers, the beautiful faces and character that spice the land are all consumed. Everything took their opposite nature, at the instant I understand that there is nothing that is beautiful that couldn't be ugly. Fire was the excited captor here, taking over everything, bringing out life in them and transferring it to a place which I don't know through smoke. Far away I can hear sporadic gunshot and noise of people who are scared of it, at a point the noise was high and in another seconds the noise was calm, notice that the noise was the struggling of their souls out of their body, it couldn't do it gently.
Should i be narrating or should I be dead, my skin has turned to a century old worn out cloth, every point of it has an opening, I can see the tissue and at a lucky point I can see my heart breathing. I hit myself severally to verify my existence, it dawned on me that I feel no pain again. I looked at my legs, bone crushed but I can still stand on it and even walk, it seems I am not living on this body again, something mysterious has happened.
I look at my side to enquire from my friend what could have happened to us because he seems to have fair knowledge of how anatomy works. There - was him, skin mightily impacted by the explosion. His neck was pierced by a flying iron. He was there totally lifeless, I tried to wake him up, for maybe he does not know we are in New existence but nothing happened. I wait for some moments maybe he would still jeer up to life like they do with the robot when just made, maybe he is rebooting or leaving the hibernation stage. No life coming.
```What has happened to me?
Is it the end of the world already``` ?

Does the dead has feelings again
```After the explosion which should have take my life, I discovered I can still feel something, hear something and respond to it but I supposed to be dead, God damn it.```

Now look at yourself, reminiscent on that day you stood on your knees after the long or short fruitful preaching that made you sober and mirror your filthiness to you then you stood in front of God with a sweet and bitter promise saying "lord I give my life to you"
Do you know what that word mean?
It means: lord I choose to be dead at this instant to my old life for I choose to be a living dead
At that instant you become dead to sin and everything that constitute your old life which can be summarized in Galatian 5:17-21.
Are you truly dead to sin?
Has not quest to be rich gave life to lies and stealing in you?
Has not your struggle to look beautiful and classy made you a serial fornicator
Has not........... (Fill in the gap yourself) gave life back to sin in you.

```There is a way that seemeth right to a man but the end is destruction``` . I know I watched avatar where we have many superpowers bending different things of the nature, the land bender, fire bender and air bender but now we have you a _new recruit_ who bend life,
Are you not powerful?
Are you not the one that died an hour ago but now seen serving yourself cocktail of lies and fornication, wow we have a eating dead.

Let's be serious now
The me, that did not died in the story was a person who has died to sin. When we die once with Christ, you cannot die again. But you who rather fainted and not truly dead in christ, the real death is coming and it will come with numbing pain and agony cry.
I won't say you should prepare for that because I love you and you deserve more than that.

The way out
Find to grow your love for Christ
find to make him the totality of your existence. Make sin a poison that you run away from.
If it does not come once, let it come gradual but fast. There is guy who is our member here, he was killed last month by cultist, the guy was among us so he listens to the God's word here like no man's business but yet he still uphold his old life.
should I tell you something? He was killed the second day after his birthday, is that a life (tell me), am not using his story to taunt him, why will i do that to the dead, can a dead abuse his fellow dead but at least die in a good story, die with assurance, die in glory.

One way or the other our old life will catch on us. Inasmuch as we love you, we can't predict what risk it will bring, maybe your life or maybe your joy.
Stay clear and die with us this morning .
Remininsce on your life now, and locate the blot that need to be blotted out, then go back to christ and seek for mercy for He is a loving father He will take you back.
See you in heaven, shalom.....
