Delivering a message at the well-attended service, Rev. Tesi Uwejamomere, District Overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church, Ubeji, said the glory of man comes after death.
Rev. Uwejamomere in his message titled; “An Accomplished Life,” which was taken from Matthew 5:13, noted that, “our journey on earth is to have positive impact on ourselves and others and not to punish people.”
According to him, “an accomplished life is a life that aligned with God’s will, focusing on serving others and making the most of time; it is life that aligns with God’s will and the life that aligns with the world.
“While many live their lives the way that pleases them, we, as children of God should live ours according to the ways of God.
“Any man that does not live his life well to the will of God faces hell when he dies.
“We are here on this earth to touch lives and not punish anyone, our well-being should be as good as considering the well-being of others.
“We should live a life were good things will be remembered about us when we pass on to glory.
“What will people say about us when we die?”, he asked.
“God has given us opportunity to touch lives, we should live the life of accomplishment.
“Today, mama is being celebrated, my wife and I are part of the good testimonies about her; the testimonies about mama today shows that she touched several lives and today, she is in glory, she has gone to be with the Lord.”
