Fire Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1-5
‘’Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shall say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain. In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves , and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the window be darkened. And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird , and the daughters of musick shall be brought low. Also, when they shall be afraid of that which is high , and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish , and the grasshopper shall be a burden , and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets’’.
When you honour God, He will honour yu. Those who have no time for God,will reapthe consequences of their actions. If you push God to the rear, you may have yourself to blame. Remember , He is the Alpha and Omega! In fact, He is all over them(Psalm 91)
The story was told of a group of drunken youths who decided to go to a party. They went to invite a female friend to accompany them.
The mother of the lady escorted her to the car, and when she saw that everybody in the car was drunk, including the driver, she wasso worried about the drunkenness of her daughter’s friends that she said, ‘’My daughter, God be with you, and may He protect you.’’
The daughter responded: ‘’Since the car is already full , if God wants to enter into the car to protect me, He would have to sit in the boot’’. Some hours later, news came that the car had been involved in a fatal accident. The car was crushed beyond recognition and everybody in it died. But surprisingly, the boot was intact. In fact, not a single egg from the crate of eggs in the boot got broken. God was in the boot as she uttered.
Beloved, be warned about what you say and the consequences. The truth is that our words are clear indications of what goes on in our hearts. Righteousness cannot be transferred. You must be a carrier of God’s power, rather than struggling for space in your life. If you give Him room in your life, He will dwell with you. Little can the prayers of others do to help you . You must get to the point of acknowledging Go and giving Him a chance in the vehicle of your life.
Let us stop playing the Church and putting a front of righteousness, being full of activity, being religious but not Godly.
Give God a chance in your life;don’t keep Him in the boot; let Him be on the driver’s seat. Let Him be in control; let Him be in charge!
Remember Your Creator Now. Tomorrow may be too late!!!
