PLANS COME TO NOTHING AT DEATH

The statement “At death human plans come to an end” reflects a clear biblical truth. The Bible teaches that death terminates all earthly ambitions, schemes, and opportunities for action.
Here are the key scriptures that teach this:
Psalm 146:4 (KJV)
“His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.”
→ All human plans, intentions, and strategies end at death.
Ecclesiastes 9:5–6 (KJV)
“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing… also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
James 4:13–14 (KJV)
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow… your life is even a vapour.”
→ Human planning is limited by the uncertainty of life.
Spiritual Lesson
Earthly plans are temporary
Only what is done for God outlives death
Death is the end of planning, but not the end of existence (Hebrews 9:27)
Practical Application
Plan wisely, but submit plans to God (Proverbs 16:3)
Prepare more for eternity than for time
Live each day with purpose and obedience

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November  SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD Proverbs 1:7 [7]The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Shun Evil Counsel Paul learnt from Ananias and Barnabas. It was not that Paul was arrogant. What he meant here was that once he knew what God wanted him to do in life, he didn't go on again seeking human opinions.  I'm ashamed to confess that many points on my journey with Christ, I made the mistakes Paul was able to escape in his own walk with Christ. I want to speak out with prayers that some other persons in my shoes then would do better than I did.  In 1972, I was in form in Form two in a boarding school called our Lady of Schools, Anyigba, now in Kogi State, Nigeria. I had come in a year before. Though I was already going to the Catholic Church in my village before coming to the School, I had never met any true Christian, one who took his belief serious, till I got to School. Tw...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - ALEX OGUH LIFE JOURNAL

13.5.25 FIRST IMPRESSIONS 2 - by Alex Oguh  Dreams have helped me greatly in this last few years that I began to give it attention. I wanted to write about dreams and I remember that I saw recently how a Christian group deleted a post I made about a dream I had and it's interpretation. It made no sense to them. So writing about dreams may not benefit many Christians unless the Lord first help me teach on HEARING GOD. Why? Everything about dream interpretation in the Bible is hinged on hearing God. See more on the matter tomorrow. ...TO BE CONTINUED

CHRISTMAS REMINDS US OF HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE

Christmas reminds us of the mysterious and powerful ways the Bible works. The Bible speaks once, but we hear it again and again. As the Scripture says: “Once have I spoken; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.” — Psalm 62:11 History moves like a wheel—turning, revolving, and returning. What God did before, He does again. Christmas is one of those events that keeps repeating itself prophetically. See: Luke 2:1-3 AMP [1] Now in those days a decree went out from [the emperor] Caesar Augustus, that all the inhabited world (the Roman Empire) should be registered [in a census]. [2] This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. [3] And everyone went to register for the census, each to his own city.  1. A DECREE THAT YOU SHOULD BE REGISTERED  At the first Christmas, there was an announcement— A decree went out that everyone should go back to their roots. Today, the announcement still goes out, not from Caesar, but from a greater King and not...
