I just want to share this simple message that was blessed to me in our church service a few Sundays ago.

It is so pleasant to witness how children were born, and the next thing you know they’re up on stage receiving their diploma. Getting ready for the next chapter of their life. It is nice to see that these kids are starting off their life on the right track.

…But how many of them will still end on the same rightful track?

A lot of people may have started strong in their life, but as they journey through it, they may be influenced by money, power, fame, greed, etc. that they ended a terrible life.

Our pastor has cited 2 persons in the Book of Second Chronicles. They both started their life pretty well. They were already proclaimed as kings when they were just teenagers, probably around 16 to 17 years old. Started with God leading their lives, but let power and fame overwhelm them in the end. They both died young (in their 30′s) and wasn’t recognized as kings. They were merely known as”The man who died with a disability,” and “The man with leprosy.”

Here are 3 tips that will guide you to end well:

BE LOYAL/FAITHFUL AND COMMITTED TO GOD

Always commit everything to God. No matter how busy you are, let Him still be your number one priority.

HUMBLE BEFORE GOD

No matter where you are, what you have achieved, always be reminded that it is the Lord who helped you and guided you there. No matter how powerful, rich, or famous you think you are now, He is still far more superior.

GUARD YOUR HEART

We are only humans, there might come a time that you may be challenged to comply with the first two tips. So be defensive. Guard your heart.
