Decisions are drivers of destiny. As you read this now, there are so many decisions being made all over the world but, sadly, with relatively a few of them made in conformance to the will of God and in favour of the values of His heavenly kingdom, as taught by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Decisions are the steering wheel of the mind; the drawing board of the heart where the trajectory of the soul is plotted. As you read along someone is on their way to execute a life changing decision; it could be a girl on her way to abort an unwanted pregnancy. It could be someone on a suicide mission to end it all. It could be some armed robbers on their way to take what belong to other persons.
Job.24.14– “When the sun goes down, the murderer gets up–kills the poor and robs the defenseless”. (MSB)
It could be a student with a cheat note on their way to sit for an examination. It could be a business magnet who’s out to make yet another dishonest gain. It could be some fraudsters or corrupt government personnel out
to extort more money from their helpless victims.
It could be a fornicator or an adulterer who’s all
aflame with immoral passion, impatiently waiting for the appointed time of sinful pleasure.
Job.24.15 – “The adulterer waits for the twilight, for he says, `No one will see me then.’ He masks his face so no one will know him”. — NLT
It could be an ardent gossip with itching ears and a wagging tongue, waiting to hear or to tell the tale that ruins the unsuspecting neighbour.
Prov.26.22 – “What dainty morsels rumors are–but they sink deep into one’s heart.
Prov.26.23 – Smooth words may hide a wicked heart, just as a pretty glaze covers a common clay pot.
Prov.26.24 – People with hate in their hearts may sound pleasant enough, but don’t believe them. “
NLT.
It could be anyone on their way to commit a crime: It might be you!
But before you do that thing, be sobered by the fact that you are in plain sight of the Almighty God before whom nothing can be concealed.
Ps.33.13 – “The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.
Ps.33.14 – From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.
Ps.33.15 – He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.” — NLT
Ps.90.8 – “You spread out our sins before you–our secret sins–and you see them all.” — NLT
Heb.4.13 – “Nothing in all creation can hide from him. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes. This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done.” — NLT
To think, or assume, that God does not exist or that He does not takes any interest in the things we do, say or think would be embracing self-deception as a cheap and temporal escape from the eternal realities we must face at last. Our existence in our natural habitat is sufficient proof of the existence of an intelligent maker and creator; He is Almighty God ! He created all things in heaven and on earth, and has kept all His works under constant surveillance ever since; this includes you – now and always, until your days on earth are expired and you appear before His judgement seat to account for how you lived out the life which He gave to you.
Gal.6.7 – “Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!” — NLT
Rom.14.12 – “Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God”. — NLT
2Cor.5.10 – “For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in our bodies.” — NLT
Before you do that thing, remember that sinners do not always get away with the consequences of their sins: the thief who got away on the wings of luck today might die tomorrow under the sword of nemesis. A few minutes of casual sex could turn out to be the beginning of a life of sorrow, shame, and the ultimate vehicle to an early grave. You could be the next victim of sin unless you change that decision ! It is easy to change that decision because you made it yourself. Say no to that antagonizing voice in your mind urging you to go on with it; that’s the devil’s voice! It is within your power to say no to Satan now, and to ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart to deliver you from the power of that sin. Do not let that bad decision to lead you into conflict with the Almighty God; you could end up in hell fire for it!.
Turn to God in repentance because Jesus Christ is waiting to help you begin another life of righteousness, purity and peace with God. You are just a decision away from obtaining His forgiveness and mercy. He is able to save all those who turn to Him in repentance while there is still hope for them. You must remember that tomorrow mostly never turns up for some unfortunate souls. Don’t do that thing!!!
Isa.55.6 – “Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.
Isa.55.7 – Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will abundantly pardon”. — NLT
1John.1.9 – “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong”. NLT
Prov.28.13 – “People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy”. NLT
If you truly and sincerely desire to live a new life, and want to be sure that you can be with Jesus Christ in heaven for ever, then make the decision right now: He is waiting, listening and ready to embrace you to Himself. Talk to Him; Jesus Christ is just a sincere prayer away!
