For to me to live is Christ, n to die is gain Philippians 1:21. There is so much comfort in the word of God that if we would spend our lives studying, worrying would be out of our lives. The reason for so much worry n anxiety in the lives of many is because the word of God has not yet gained the dominance n the mastery in their lives. But when one accesses the truth of the word, there would be no more room for worry n anxiety. The believer is not designed to lose in anything n in anyway. That is why the word teaches that all things work together for good to them that love God n to them who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). What it means is that once you are called according to Gods purpose, it doesnt matter what may come your way, it will work for your good. All things work to your advantage; Paul had this understanding n lived his life according to this revelation. From the text, Paul reveals to us that for him to live is Christ n to die is gain. What he means by this is that once he is alive, his whole life is for the course of God. He lives for Him alone, he furthers n promotes His kingdom. He has one objective in life n that is Christ. Christ is his focus n drive n therefore lives for His kingdom n glory only. And again Paul reveals to us that death can be gainful. He makes us know that death is not ceaseless existence as some people presume but rather a means of departure into glory. For Paul he understood that what others dread as death is only a channel into glory n hence he calls it gain. Beloved of God, please understand that , that which Paul says is not applicable to him alone but to every believer who will be awaken to this revelation. Let your life be for one course only; that is for Christ, n you will be rest assured that only gain awaits you in eternity. Shalom! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
