I’m going to kill myself

‘I’m going to kill myself’ over and over again in his head these words played out. What was the reason for living? I’ve lost my wife and all that I hold dear to me. He picked up a roll of chord that is normally used for a grass cutter and decided that this was the means by which he would alleviate his pain. He would simply put this chord around his neck and hope that his final battle with pain would not be as intense as the pain he felt inside.
He began walking to the road to find a tree that was secluded enough but still detectable where his body could be found afterward. While he was walking a car pulled up beside him. “Where are you going?” asked the driver.
“I’m just walking” he replied
“Come to church with me” declared the driver
He said to himself” What have I to lose, might as well go”
With the little roll of chord tightly tucked away in his pocket he went to the church with all intension to commit suicide after the service.
There he saw a young man singing and he thought that this was the best voice he ever heard. The words of the songs were enough to bring a sense of peace to him. He did not even realize that all the pain that he had been feeling was not even there at the moment. Then the preacher went up to speak. The tall stern looking stranger only glanced at the crowd immediately commanding their attention. He was captivated by the mere look of the man.
Then the man began to speak.
It was as if every word was for him. That preacher spoke with the voice of GOD. Suddenly the words came back; I’m going to kill myself.
At the same moment the preacher declared that Jesus came that you might life and life more abundantly.
As clear as day he came to a divine realization, I must live and not die.
He threw away that roll of chord with which he was going to hang himself and gave his life to Jesus. Two years later he is still in love with Jesus.
Are you stronghold in someone else’s life?
When we hear the word stronghold we think of demons, principalities and powers. We must see that we can be a stronghold in God that would keep all that is life in the existence of someone wanting to die. The preacher in this story is my father and the singer is me.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt I can say that my family and I have been a pillar of faith in the lives of others. My sister Sharon has the respect of so many people because they see life in her. Whenever I see her I feel good so much more for those that are dying. My brother Jude when he sings it’s enough to drive demons away and clear the air. We have become all things to all men, so people would be utterly bored without my family since there would be no one to love or to hate if we weren’t around. Either way we ignite the fires of life in the name of Jesus.
What are you doing? What’s your family doing?
Do they bring life or death to others?
I pray that it’s life. Your sons should respect women and let them know that they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your daughters should be letting the light of GOD shine through the glory of their beauty.
You should be loving and NOT hating….despite what people do to you and you just might bring life to someone else. Make sure that it’s NOT your fault that someone walks away from JESUS because walking away ultimately leads to death. How many souls have you won?
