The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

Death is an ominous subject the world over...but also a fact to all individuals. It is a given. We go through life resigned to the fact that we are prone to death every waking day.

The decision that is left to be made is the decision about how we shall live. How can we live our lives so well that death is just an event that ushers into the next dispensation?

Our lives are firmly connected to our deaths. How we die is determined by how we lived. There is one thing to do in order to die well--Know whom you have been called to deliver. Listen to this.

The fact is that one out of one dies. That can either be good news or bad news depending chiefly on what we did while alive. I have a firm belief that we were meant to live a spectacular life of productivity, impact and contribution.

That is the Divine design for everyone. No one is exempt. The question we have to answer is this: How do we live such a life that at the time of our death, we are so happy and fulfilled, knowing that we deployed our absolute best?

Every child born of a woman is a message and a messenger. He or she is a weapon in the hands of the creator. He or she is an agent of change and transformation. We all come on the earth with a mission, at least equipped to be on mission.

However, we live our lives filled with so many distractions that by the time we come to the end of our lives, there is so much that was meant to be done that was never done.

The death we experience is double jeopardy...double pain largely because we wasted our years in pursuit of distractions instead of fulfilling our assignments. Here is one more way to die better.

Someone said that some people tiptoe through life hoping that they can reach safely at death. I can understand the feeling. No one looks forward to dying.

However, there are those who do look forward to their death with enthusiasm. They know that they have lived their lives worthy of that death, and they also know that there is no finality in that death. It is rest, yes, but it is also transition.

Perhaps the most fulfilling thing about their death is that they lived a life full of impact. How did they do this? The first of all knew their assignment, and then they prepared themselves for it. Listen to this.

Amazingly, life and death are connected to the hip. We are mortal. However, we can live our lives to such an extent that our legacy is immortal. Several people have done that.

Looking at history, you can mention several names of visionaries who lived thousands or hundreds of years ago. Their names still impact our lives today because of how they lived.

That brings us to scrutinize how they lived their lives. All of them had just one thing in common. It is this pillar of their lives that made their death, however it might have been, something that they never regret. Listen to this.
