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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
