A TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED Dr EVEREST PAULO SHAIDI
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
We who have faith in Christ JESUS, we look at death not as full stop but a comma.
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, âI am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
Death to a good man is his release from the imprisonment of this world and his departure to the enjoyment of another world.
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, âWrite this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.â âBlessed indeed,â says the Spirit, âthat they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!â]
Whether we die young or old, what matters is the grace to continue living hereafter.
Isaiah 57:1-2. The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk upright enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
This world is not our home, we are just passing through, we are living in the world but we are not a part of it.
Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
We thank JESUS for the life of our beloved Dr Everest and for his peaceful passing.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
His legacy of Love will live on forever.
Psalm 78:4 we will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Sisi ambao tuna imani katika Kristo YESU, tunaangalia kifo si kama Nukta bali koma tu.
Yohana 11:25 Yesu akamwambia, âMimi ndiye ufufuo na uzima; mtu akiniamini mimi, hata akifa ataishi;
Kifo kwa Mkristo ni kuondolewa kutoka katika kifungo cha dunia hii na kuanza maisha ya furaha ya ulimwengu mwingine.
Ufunuo wa Yohana 14:13 Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, âAndika haya: Wamebarikiwa watu ambao tangu sasa wanakufa wakiwa ndani ya Bwana.â âNaam,â asema Roho, âwatapumzika baada ya taabu zao, kwa kuwa matendo yao yatawafuata.â
Ikiwa mtu anakufa kijana au mzee, jambo muhimu ni neema ya kuendelea kuishi baada ya hapo.
Isaya 57:1-2 'Mtu mwadilifu akifa, hakuna mtu anayejali; mtu mwema akifariki, hakuna mtu anayefikiri na kusema: âMtu huyo mwema ameondolewa asipatwe na maafa, ili apate kuingia kwenye amani.â Watu wanaofuata njia ya haki, watakuwa na amani na kupumzika.
Dunia hii sio nyumbani,tunapitia tu, tunaishi ulimwenguni lakini sisi si sehemu yake.
Wafilipi 3:20 'Lakini sisi ni raia wa mbinguni, na twatazamia kwa hamu kubwa Mwokozi aje kutoka mbinguni, Bwana Yesu Kristo.
Tunamshukuru Bwana wetu YESU KRISTO kwa maisha ya mpendwa wetu Dr Everest na kwa kuondoka kwake kwa amani.
Zaburi 116:15 'Kifo cha watakatifu kina thamani machoni pa Bwana.
Urithi wake wa Upendo utaishi milele.
Zaburi 78:4 'Hatutawaficha watoto wetu; ila tutakisimulia kizazi kijacho matendo matukufu ya Mwenyezi-Mungu na uwezo wake; tutawaambia maajabu yake aliyotenda.'
