The Lifespan of Choice


Choice is the right to decide from among range of options. Life constitutes a mixture of both promising and damaging options, pleading for your decision. Lamentably, many have sided the world with its passing pleasures. This is evidenced in the way people are experimenting with sex, embarking on drinking spree, baring their bodies for fringe returns and trading their souls with perishables. But bear in mind that your power of choice is just temporary; it does not last forever. Choice has a lifespan! The power of choice is revoked at the point of death. No dead man retains the power to choose between God and the world. The moment your eyes close in death, your choosing privilege is completely lost!  You can only see your scores. “…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…but AS FOR ME and my house, we will SERVE THE LORD” (Jos.24:14-15).
Who do you choose to serve? God or the devil? Your choice will assuredly drive you to a destination - heaven or hell. Choices carry potentials to either boast or blow your eternal destiny. Choices either guarantee or endanger your future in eternity. It can either detract or attract you to the path of life. Most dreadfully, choices are not subject to review after death. Whatever you have chosen now, its effect, good or bad, is actually awaiting you in eternity with no space for alteration. You will personally bear the eternal outcome of your choices, whether made blindly or willfully. There will be no bulk passing or blame game in eternity! Besides, every wrong choice MUST be regretted when you enter the immortal land. Do you know?
Interestingly, it is never too late to make the right choice. The only unsurpassed and wise choice is to decide on Jesus Christ today. This decision will secure a space for you in heaven and shield you from impending disaster that will soon come upon those who neglect God’s free offer of salvation in Christ Jesus. “Today I have given you a choice between life and death, success and disaster” (Deut.30:15). Do you want death and disaster? Accept Jesus Christ (life) into your life today by confessing thus: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner; and I can’t save myself. I trust all that Jesus did to purchase me. Forgive my sins. Write my name in the book of life. Help me by your Holy Spirit to please you always, in Jesus name, Amen!

HAPPY 2018

Happy New Year readers! It's been an amazing one year break. It was totally worth it. I am really grateful to God for everything. To Him be praise and glory, now and forever more. Amen This year, I have made up my mind to serve you diligently. The goal is spiritual growth. The Bible says in Ephesians 4 that the Body of Christ grows as each member does his part in love. I'll make sure to do my part through this blog and my sincere prayer is that we all will grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ. Last year, I found out that there's a lot of great stuff on the internet that can help us grow as Christians spiritually, and otherwise. So I'll be serving us with lots of these awesome stuff. I'll save you the stress of searching; just stick with me on this blog and all bring all the great stuff here for you. That said, I really do hope that we'll all have an amazing year. I love you very much, especially for your commitment to this blog since 2011. I a...

Thankfulness

Oh! How much we love the words THANK YOU, PLEASE and SORRY. It is part of etiquette and politeness. I have a friend who is very good at it. She says these words as frequent as she says I. This little act of courtesy really moves me. I like it a lot. Though it was a little bit hard for me to practice and also took a long time for me to get used to it. When I finally did, I felt wonderful. It was nice and pleasing to be around people saying those three things clearly and boldly. I gained the respect and friendliness of a lot of people. A good attitude begins with gratitude. As these three things are essential in our daily dealings with our neighbours so are they important in our relationship with God. In fact they are the most important words in our prayer. Remember our pattern of prayer should be like this: Thank God for His providence (THANK YOU) Ask for Forgiveness (SORRY) State your request (PLEASE) Conclude with thanking Him again Yes, it is the same thing. After all, y...

REFLECTIONS

I love new beginnings especially new sessions. As a student, a new session means another chance to make things better. To grow to become a better friend, sister, student and colleague. I look forward to correct my wrongs and employ new habits and attitudes. I wrote this short article to encourage you towards new beginnings.        As we look up the calendar of a new activity, we come face-to-face with the fact that our days are numbered in life. As the Psalmist wrote, “Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” No thoughtful person can start anything without some introspection. We are reminded of the brevity of time. We also look back over our failures, mistakes and lost opoportunities and vow that we will make better use of our time during the new session. Failures in academics, morals, spiritual and religious affairs, physical and social standards. However, very few people ever take into consideration the relationships they had faile...
