God's blessings are activated by our choices.


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: God's blessings are activated by our choices.

Deuteronomy 28 is a long chapter of sixty eight verses. This chapter is divided into two parts. These first fourteen verses have to do with blessing. The remaining verses speak of cursing. Blessings or cursing, the choice was theirs.

Deuteronomy 30:15 says, "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil." Israel was left with a choice, and so are we. While God is certainly sovereign, only a fool would deny the fact of human responsibility.

Every human born of woman, has a choice to make. In this life, we will choose between God or Satan, eternal life or eternal death; a life of blessing or a life of cursing. As children, our parents make many of our choices, but eventually we must choose for ourselves! The secret to securing the blessings of God, is to choose obedience over rebellion.

The Bible tells us that "God is love," and love must make a choice. God is not going to save you against your will. How many here would want to marry someone against your will? Marriage is a decision of love. Salvation is a decision of love. God in His divine pure love chose in eternity past to redeem us through His Son, Jesus Christ. We must choose to receive the Son by faith at the preaching of the Word of God and conviction of the Holy Spirit of God. It is the same when it comes to serving God. We serve Him because we love Him. As God's children, none of us merit or deserve the least of His blessings.

All blessings come to us by God's grace! However, everyday we make choices that place us in the path of God's blessings or the path of God's correction.

LET US PRAY
FATHER GOD HELP US TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES OF YOUR BLESSING IN JESUS NAME.
