The Choice

By -

In life, we have to make a lot of choices. What school will I attend? Who will I marry? Some choices are more important than others, for example; a decision like, "What food will I cook?" is also a matter of choice, (though what matters is actually cooking something good and eating it.) 
But you see, the Oga patapata of all choices that you can make in this life, the choice that will make the most impact in anyone's life, is the choice to make Jesus Christ our Lord and personal Saviour. 

"I have made that decision" (that's what a lot of Christians will say), but hey, if I twist the truth a little (tell a little lie) to accommodate my situations, or I still abuse, or may I say, if I exchange hot words with people because I prefer not to look dumb..... Can I still say that I have made that decision? Am I standing by it? That decision I made to SERVE THE LORD.

We need to know that choosing to belong to Christ is a big decision, infact it is the ultimate choice, but we still have opportunities everyday to make a myriad of other choices, that will back up the ultimate choice. So ask yourself, in my attitude, in what I say to people, in what I watch and listen to, in how I spend and what I spend on, am I still honoring the decision I made to serve the Lord?

This is an encouragement for us to choose God over and over again in our daily lives. That you made that Big Choice only makes sense, when your other choices support it. 

If you've not even made that ultimate choice at all.... It is a call you need to respond to... Jesus says, you should come to Him. Your life can only be better when you respond... Please, make that choice today and you will be blessed for it. 

Prayer: Lord, I choose you today. Help me to choose you over and over again, everyday. Amen.

Josh.24.15 - And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

I hate him! I wish he'd just die!

I hate him! I wish he'd just die! Some weeks ago, I saw a pop-up on my phone, it was news that a certain someone had died. I couldn't believe my eyes, "Is he really dead?" I couldn't help the excitement I felt at the time, "you mean this man is finally dead. Thank God! If only all these people could be dying one by one, oh what Joy!" All these was what went through my mind when I saw the news, before I even discovered that the news was untrue and was only a click-bait. The man in question, I believed was a cruel man, very wicked. I had therefore built up my own hatred for him so much that I couldn't help the joy I felt at the possibility of his death. Even as I was thinking all that and actually saying some out loud, I began to ask myself deep down if I was in the right path of thought. I mean... It is natural to hate a wicked person and I didn't even have to consider what I wanted to feel about the situation, whether it was true or not, I just f

I lost my phone AGAIN! Why ME?

"Why Me? God!  I watched in silence and so much sympathy as her sobbing turned near hysterical, some might even consider it dramatic, the tears streamed down her face in such a fast pace, you would think they were in a competition of 'which drops first'. It had been like that for a while and it was very well expected since she was robbed of her considerable essentials, her laptop and her phones were all gone, she probably had very important information stored on them, I actually felt like I could feel her pain. But she didn't lose a loved one, no, which is why some people might have started to think her non-stop sobbing, is too dramatic. Personally, I had no issue with her crying, but those lines though, she kept repeating them and, they started to really irk me. "Why Me? Why Me?"  REALLY? Bae, why not you?  Do you know that, 'Why ME?' means you'd prefer it happened to someone else?  Do you know that, another way to say 'Why me?', is to sa
