REGRET


Text: Ecc 12:1.


 *Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;* 


 *For every decision you take, you'll either live to thank God for it or to regret it.* 


If there's a man you need to pay attention to when he speaks, I  think king Solomon takes the first position. 

He remains the wisest king that ever ruled.


In  terms of wealth and pleasure,  it was recorded concerning him that there was nothing his heart desires that he didn't indulge himself. Eccl. 2:10.


He remained the only man known to have managed one thousand women ( 700 wives and 300 concubines). 1 Kings 11:3. At the end of it all, he took a stock of his own life, and he decided to write down words of advice for the generation after him to learn from his failures and successes.

So when such a man speaks, it is wisdom to listen. 


To the young fellas, he says in Ecclesiastes 11:9    "Enjoy yourself in your youth, young man, and be encouraged during your younger days. Live as you like, consistent with your world view, but keep in mind that God will bring you to account for everything.


Again, he says, remember your creator now  in the days of your youth while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.


This presupposes that the evil days will visit everyone at one point or the other, but what will help you emerge as a winner is what you have garnered before the evil days come.


Everyday offers you an opportunity to make better choices in order not to have regrets later in future. 


 *You are free to make your own decisions, but once that is done, you won't be free from it's consequences.* 


If you desire to live a regret-free life, then you must always consider the God factor in all of your actions and inactions. 


REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR NOW THAT THERE'S HOPE.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father, I'm sorry for the wrong decisions I have taken in the past, please give me wisdom to take right decisions going forward. 


 *Bible Reading* 

 

Ecclesiastes 12:1-14.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
