TODAY’S TOPIC: Your choice shall make or mar your day
Text: John 3:15-21 (NIV):
"3:15. that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
3:16. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3:17. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:18. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
3:19. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
3:20. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
3:21. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Welcome to a new day, brethren. God alone be praised! Choice is very important in life. God upon creation made it possible for all to enjoy it. It can make or mar your future, or ruin your life in it's entirety. In today's message, God reminded us how God in His infinite mercy gave us His son that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life. He didn't force Jesus on the world even though He can do that. Our own is to only believe in Him, believe that He was sent, believe that He saves, heals and is the light. Unfortunately, many are not seeing these virtues as reasons to choose Him. Listen, you are doing yourself more evil than good for making a wrong decision. When you make a wrong decision, you are to suffer it. None will feel the pain but you. So, be careful. Make that right decision now; which is to follow Him today and throughout this year. God does not and will not forsake you. Forget the former things. Follow Him this year; you will surely testify at the end.
PRAYER/DECLARATIONS
1. O Jesus, help me to make informed decision; a decision to follow only You in Jesus name, Amen.
2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I vomit and set on fire, anything in me that is not of God. In Jesus name, Amen.
3. O God arise, cleanse and reposition me to serve only You this year. In Jesus name, Amen!!!
