CHOOSE LIFE
JUNE Sunday 10th
TEXT: GENESIS 2:15-17
Key Verse: Deuteronomy 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

God placed two options before Adam - to live or die. God will not force his will on any man, including the choice of eternal life (John 3:16-18; Matt. 28:19-20). Adam made a wrong choice.
Adam's bad choice introduced the miseries we are experiencing in the world today - wickedness, evil, diseases, poverty, injustice and death. Has man learnt any lesson from the error of Adam? Not quite! With the exception of a negligible few, descendants of Adam from the first generation up till now have continued to make wrong choices in life, for the wickedness of man is great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart is only evil continually. God has placed before you the same choices. If you say in your heart, if I were Adam I would have made a better choice; make that choice now. The choice you make extends beyond your generation. Adam's wrong choice corrupted Cain's life and led him to sin. His choice has put every man born of a woman in the bondage of sin up till now. What is your own choice? Learn from the choices made by the following Bible characters:

1. THE PRODIGAL SON (Luke 15:11-32). He made a bad choice as Adam did. He chose easy life, pleasure, immorality, drinking spree. He got disconnected from the source. He was shortsighted. He drank satanic alcohol and lost his senses. He embarked on riotous living. Those who pursue money, women, pleasure etc. have lost their senses. He suffered the penalty. Are you already suffering the consequences of your wrong choices? Prayer cannot help you out of your wrong choice. Fasting cannot. Night vigil cannot. Have you made wrong choices in divorce, marrying another person's wife, getting employment with false certificate, joining bad gang to defraud people etc. The prodigal son came to his senses and reversed his choice. You too must come back to your senses and reverse the wrong choice you have made. Do your restitution.

2. RUTH (Ruth 1:6-18). The future looked bleak, but Ruth acted on faith showing exemplary love. This is in contrast to the prodigal son whose focus was on the immediate. Ruth was prepared to sacrifice but the prodigal son preferred a life of pleasure. Ruth refused to be persuaded to reject suffering as a believer. Are you ready to damn the consequences and do your restitution? To return stolen money and property? To move out of the house of a man that belongs to another woman? Are you ready to close your eye to easy money? Going to heaven has a cost. To sleep in a five-star hotel, you must be ready to pay the price. Heaven is more than a five-star hotel! By Ruth's good choice she became an ancestor of Jesus.

Thought for the day: The choices you make in life eventually determine your eternal destiny.
Song for the day: All that concerns me is touching God…
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 32-33; John 18:24-40

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
