TODAY’S TOPIC: Play your part and be saved
Text: Ezekiel 33:2-11 (NIV):
33:2. Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
33:3. and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
33:4. then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.
33:5. Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.
33:6. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
33:7. "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
33:8. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
33:9. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
33:10. "Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" '
33:11. Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
SHOWER (Reflection):
The world is full of opportunities and responsibilities. God has ordained us to do so many things for promotion of His word. Today, we are been reminded of the needs to always play our parts accordingly. As a child of God, it is your responsibilities to preach the gospel, live by gospel, behave like Christ, do good things always and bring people closer to God. If you fail, you will likely be sanctioned by going to hellfire. That is the bottom message. If the listeners fail to adhere to the word, they too will fail.
