TOPIC: THE WISE CHOICE 2

BIBLE READING: Acts 25-28
TEXT: "“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve...” Joshua 24:15 Every choice you make in life in accordance with the will of God which is the word of God is a wise choice. The choices you make per time reveal whether you did make the ultimate choice of serving the Lord or not as our anchor text presented. Every now and then life presents us with choices which either take us higher in life or retrogress us. That is why it is very necessary to engage the Spirit of God in guiding our choices so we can advance as God ordained our path to be (Proverbs 4:18). We should not be quick to make choices based on the immediate pleasure they offer. Most wrong choices come with immediate gratification, comfort and pleasure. The devil is known for trying to lure people with worldly things which come almost immediately to becloud our judgment and make wrong choices. If you want to always make right choices, be ready to suffer temporal discomfort. Be ready to pay the price of patience in undergoing the 'shame', hatred, name-calling, demotion, victimization etc. that may come along with it. In Potiphar's house, life presented Joseph with the choice of sleeping with his master's wife and probably become her choice servant with more financial and material benefits or refusing to sleep with her, thereby obeying the commandment of God and go to prison. Without being voiced, every choice has consequences and rewards. Joseph, a child of God who fears God chose to obey the commandment of God and refused to sleep with her and that landed him in prison. A wise choice may land you in prison but cannot keep you there. In due season, God is sure to bring you out gloriously to a position far greater than where those who made wrong choices are, that is if they are alive. Prayer: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, help me to make wise choices."
God knows all the details surrounding the birth, life, and death of every creature He has made. Even the billions of stars.
God has a name for each of them in the galaxies (Psalms 147:4). Whenever God takes a bit of what He knows and reveals it to a man, this is referred to as word of knowledge. God knows everything about everyone and everything in heaven, on earth, and beneath the earth. Nothing is missing from God's knowledge.
God is so full of knowledge that he longs to share a bit with us from time to time. If only you can link up with the Holy Spirit, worship Him daily, cultivate the habit of fellowshipping with Him and obey Him in all areas of life, He would hardly do everything that pertains to you that He would not have earlier revealed to you.
Just imagine, in Genesis 18:17-18 before He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He said this, "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great nation... For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him..." God couldn't hide what He intended to do from a man because Abraham walked in the ways of God. And even when He told Abraham, Abraham interceded for the city asking God if He could spare the city for the sake of the righteous on the city. He pleaded from fifty till he got to ten; that if ten righteous men were found in the city if God would spare the city and God agreed; but there were no such number in the city.
You can enjoy His secrets like Abraham if you follow Him like Abraham.
Prayer: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, help me to serve you diligently to the end.
