Are you on the right path?

Are you on the right path?

Attention Christians! As you know, we live in a fast pace materialistic world with two paths. Whichever path you choose is up to you. But, before you decide on where to go, you must understand what those two paths mean. One is broad and colourful. It has all the glitz and glamour of the world. The other is narrow, bores you to death, and it does not appeal to many.

Humans are programmed to react to the impulses of the five senses. But every so often our reactions are premature, which cause us to make significant decisions without careful assessment.

Jesus does not want us to rely on impulse when we make important decisions. He wants us to do the right thing and choose the right path. Here is what He said: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

So, my friends do not fall for the promises of the enemy. He can only give you temporary satisfaction. Instead, “Let us hold fast to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

If you chose the narrow road, then you are on the right path.

Are you ready for the blessing God has for you?

Every Christian has at least one elusive thing on the bucket list that you hope God would help you check off. You spent hours in prayer asking God to bless you with this or that. But you never ask God to prepare you for the blessing your heart desire.

I am sure we have all heard of or know of a situation, secular and non-secular where at least one person got promoted to a position for which he or she was ready due to lack of preparation. And usual these situations never work out favourable for either side.

The parable of the lost son which Jesus told in Luke 15:11-20 is a good example of an individual who received a gift (blessing) he was not ready to handle. The young kid lived a sheltered life up to that point. Still yet he thought he could manage anything the world threw at him. But he was wrong. The Bible says the poor kid squandered his inheritance and ended up eating among swines.

So my friends, instead of spending lots of time asking God to bless you with whatever you need so badly. Spend some time and ask him to prepare you first. So that when the blessing comes you’ll know how to conduct yourself.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

A Psalm of Praise/Thanksgiving

Psalm 100King James Version (KJV)

 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
