You can decide the outcome of your future. I once heard Archbishop Benson Idahosa said he will not die like a chicken. My father in the Lord, Papa Adeboye also said, when it is time for him to go, it will be on Sunday, and he will eat pounded yam, sit down and go. The Archbishop said he won't die like a chicken and when he want to go, he will go. Do you remember how he died? He sat down that day on the dinning table, there is a juice if you know it they called it pure heaven, it's a pack juice, he open the juice and said, "Who want to go heaven?" everybody kept their glass. And he said again, "I want to go to heaven now" and they started laughing. He called his Bible school director and spoke to him, then he entered into his room and said "My father." Then he bend his head, after a while he died.
That one is not death, that's what they called call home, the Archbishop was called home. When he said my father and sat down on his rolling chair, for a long time his PA was wondering and after thirty minutes he went to meet him and shook him, then he realised he's gone. And that same week before he died, he called his wife in America and said, "Everything God told me to do, I've done it." His wife said, "Please, let me come home" but the Archbishop said "No, I've finished my assignment." When I heard of the story, I said to myself, I won't finish my own assignment because I don't want to die now. When people say to me, papa won't you rest, I usually tell them, I'm not tired because once I'm not doing anything, then I will also go too, and I'm not ready. I'll keep doing crusades and programmes, because once you finish you will go. So, if you see me travelling around, it's deliberate because when you keep working, you are not going anywhere. Archbishop Benson Idahosa said he has finished everything and he went round the world fifty two times, completed his assignment. So, a man decided how he died, so you too can decide to live a life of principle.
