Dr. Myles Munroe must have been hinting on his eventuality in his final messages around the world. The Bahamian pastor founded the Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship and had created a worldwide following with his charismatic preaching and he appeared to have been anticipating his own death in a 2003 sermon.
“The value of life is not in its
duration, but in its donation. You
are not important because of how
long you live, you are important
because of how effective you live.
And most people are concerned about growing old rather than being effective," Munroe said.
"The people who have impacted the
world didn't live long. Martin Luther King . John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history,” he said.
Munroe frequently exhorted his
congregation to live a life of
purpose.
“You weren't born just to live a life and to die, you were born to
accomplish something specifically,” he said in that 2003 sermon.
“Matter of fact, success is making it to the end of your purpose, that is success. ... Success is not just existing, success is making it to the end of why you were born.”
In a different sermon, Munroe
hammered home the importance of a life's work.
“ The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a
purpose,” he said.
Did he see it coming? Either way, he trully made an impact an his story will continue to change lives.
