Death is certain, but the Bible speaks about premature death!
Bible says, “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow” (Galatians 6:7). The word “MOCK” means: imitate, mimic, ridicule. God is pretty serious about how we act. I like the first part of this scripture “for you reap whatever you sow”. “SOW”: plant as seed. “REAP”: harvest, get as reward. If there was ever anything true in life it is this. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW….
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon(Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him” (1966). 
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
We have to be careful of what we say. To think that you are more famous than Jesus is pitiful. John Lennon was very innocent & died a very senseless death.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure, he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died. 
There are folks out there today that may tell you different but they are actually living their lives JUST LIKE THIS!!! Not even God can remove me…God can shut this whole world down now if He desires too.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): 
During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: “God, that’s for you.” He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
GOD IS NOT MOCKED!! He is in control even as we speak.
Thomas Andrews(the man who built the Titanic:
After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said; “Not even God can sink it”. Andrews as a matter of fact died on the titanic.
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.
Why does even man today think he is invincible? He may not say it but again he tends to act like it. I heard someone kidding about alcohol; it makes a person think he is 4’ wide & 8’ tall. We are not invincible.
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: “I don’t need your Jesus”. 
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
Dr. Billy graham was led by God to go & speak to this famous lady not about her career or her health or her finances or even about her lifestyle, BUT ABOUT HER SOUL.
Bon Scott(Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs, he sang:
“Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell”.
On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit. 
When I read this I thought about the rich farmer that his life was required the very night he failed to put God first.
Campinas (2005)
In Campinas , Brazil , a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend…
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter – holding her hand, who was already seated in the car, “My Daughter, Go with God and May He Protect you…
She responded: “Only If He (God) Travels in the Trunk, because inside Here…It’s already full
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, and the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.
The world needs to know & understand that GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED. It’s sad but true that each of you may be struggling or you may know someone that is struggling today that could very well be attributed to the fact that they are REAPING what they have SOWN…Just keep this in mind that the sowing part is a whole lot easier than the REAPING part. Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
