The Two Different Paths

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 7:13-14

Worship song: Road is rough

 


Meditation:

    Jesus, while speaking to his followers, used the gate metaphorically to bring about an awareness of the two different paths that exist. The gates represent the narrow road that leads to everlasting life and the broad road that leads to destruction. The broad road is for those who choose not to surrender to God and whose lifestyle choices do not align with God's will. It is for those who desire the glamour and glitter the world offers. The broad road is for the ungodly. On the other hand, the narrow road leads to a truly satisfying life, one filled with joy, peace, and love that grows sweeter with each passing year. This road is for those who choose to follow Christ. It is for those who swear allegiance to the Lamb. 

    We are given choices, and our designation will determine which path we take. When the treasures you have lived for in this world have lost their glow, and the end of life’s journey is completed, what now? Jesus urges us to strive to enter at the narrow gate while the opportunity presents itself, for many at the last minute will seek to enter in and shall not be able to. Only the unwise set out on a journey not knowing or considering where it will end. Which gate will you choose? The narrow gate that leads to eternal life or the broad gate that leads to destruction. Before you are two roads, hell, and heaven, choose wisely.

 

Let's pray:

    Sovereign God, the Alpha and Omega, the great I AM, I am grateful to you, O God, for lighting our darkness through your spoken words. Father, I understand that our choice is determined by the road we choose to travel. Father, help us to remain on the narrow road and when difficulty arises, keep our eyes focused and steadfast on the reward that awaits us. Heavenly Father, we stand before the cross and the Lord of grace and mercy as people in need of guidance, forgiveness for our blindness, and hardness of heart. But most of all, we stand before you as a people in desperate need of you. Father, have mercy on us, anchor our souls, and guide our hearts back to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 👏💓🙏

Appointed For a Purpose

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 20:18-22 Worship Song: Atmosphere Shift   Meditation:      The people of Judah, led by King Jehoshaphat, demonstrated their submission and reliance on God by responding to the threat of their enemy with a physical act of worship, instead of focusing on their fears. When they heard the prophetic word, they bowed their heads in reverence as they worshiped and praised God. Their praise was so powerful that a burst of jubilee erupted in the atmosphere as the selected singers echoed joyful sounds of victory and praise. My beloved friends, note what happened when the people of Judah began to sing and praise the Lord. God intervened, causing the enemy to turn against each other in a confused, self-destructive battle. This is a powerful reminder that we overcome by faith in God's power, not by fearing our enemies. Life can be challenging, but praising God makes all the difference.       If we are dete...

The Rejected and Overlooked

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 29:28-31 Worship song: Grace   Meditation:      Leah's marriage to Jacob was not by choice but a result of her father, Laban's deceit. Despite the difficulty she encountered in her marriage, she was favoured in the eyes of the Lord. God acknowledged Leah's heartache over her husband's neglect and blessed her with children, whose names testified to her gratitude for God's divine help. She learned to find joy, peace, and contentment even in a challenging situation by focusing on God's blessings and plan.       You might be qualified for a task but overlooked and rejected. You may have been trying for years to make the team, be recognized, or be accepted, but still, no one notices you. Do not be discouraged or dismayed, God sees and knows your potential. His plans for you are greater than any human perspective. Instead of dwelling on what you cannot change, place your trust in God, who has the power t...

Left Behind

Good morning Day for Testimony - Left Behind   Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. St. Matthew 24: 40-41 Worship song: I pray We'll Be Ready   Personal Testimony:     My recent awareness of others sharing rapture experiences has brought to memory a vivid vision from my past. During my teenage years, I witnessed a celestial event in which the clouds burst open, revealing the appearance of the Son of God, surrounded by a bright light, looking down on the earth while people were busy ascending. In that moment, my family was taken upward, and I was left behind, weeping bitterly. Though it was just a dream, the thought of being left behind by God and abandoned by my loved ones was profoundly traumatic, leaving me with a crippling awareness of the possibility of rejection caused by a life not totally surrendered to God.   ...

Called to Serve

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 10:1-20 Hymn: Just as I am  Meditation:      Jesus Christ selected ordinary persons to serve as his disciples and then he equipped them with power over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and diseases. Among those whom Jesus chose to be his disciples were tax collectors and fishermen. As Jesus sent forth his disciples to serve, he gave them clear instructions to take the gospel to those who would listen and to the lost sheep. The disciples were told that they would encounter some stubborn, self-willed persons, who would reject the gospel.       The disciples were sent among the vilest of sinners and were advised to use wisdom, be harmless, and focus on their mission. They were also warned about the persecution they would eventually encounter. If you are called to serve, do so with a willing heart, knowing that you are serving a mighty, promise-keeping God. Do not be concerned...
