     DATE:  8TH JANUARY 2025 

 

THEME: INCREASE YOUR FAITH

      TEXT: NUMBERS 14:26-39 


       THE POWER OF CHOICE 

The choices a person makes governs his experiences on earth. Our choices whether negative or positive are manufactured by God into things we experience on earth.


What the Israelites experienced in transit to the promised land is our case study on the subject. Twelve men were sent as spies into the promised land. The way they think and speak sharply divided them into two groups.


We shall call them the negative group and the positive group. God came out with a fiat to deal with what each group chose to confess. This is the fiat Moses declared to the two groups. Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you - Numbers 14:28.


God never wanted us to be like robots. He gave to each individual a volition or a will to help us make choices of what to think, what to say and what to do. You become responsible for the choice you make whether negative or positive.


The negative group said: Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! - Numbers 14:2. By what they said, they preferred dying in the wilderness and so they died. 


The positive group who chose to still believe in God despite the challenges said: If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey - Numbers 14:8. Caleb and Joshua who formed the positive group got to the promised land as they have chosen and confessed.


God doesn't just listen to us. He listens to do for us what we choose to think, say or do. So the difference in the experiences of people lies in their choices. You either belong to the negative group to have negative choices, say negative things and experience them. 


Or you belong to the positive group to make positive choices, say positive  things and experience them. Your suffering or your enjoyment today was the choice you made in the past. So be careful in choosing what you think, what you say and what you do.


Know this, the choices you make today certainly become your  experiences tomorrow.


Thank you for reading and may God bless you.

Remain blessed in his love, don't give up, better days ahead

Unrivaled Medicine God Chapter 201 to 220

 Chapter 201: Who Dares to Touch My Yuan-Er! Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor "Truly the ignorant is fearless! You aren’t thinking that because I’m an alchemist, my combat power is subpar, right? Today, I’m going to teach you just what kind of strength sect core disciples have!" Yang Hao said frostily. Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "I say, you’re annoying. Are the martial arts of core disciples all on lip service?" "You’re courting death, Ye Yuan!" Yang Hao already had enough of Ye Yuan’s provocation and could not hold back any longer. He made his move! "Great Thousand-Leaf Hand!" Yang Hao cried out in a low voice. A palm created illusions of countless palms, smacking towards Ye Yuan. Seeing Yang Hao make a move, everyone was secretly shocked! "Tranquil Cloud Sect’s core disciple’s strength is indeed fathomless! This Great Thousand-Leaf Hand is a superior-grade Tier 2 technique, right? It has actually been cultivated to suc...

AUC Chapter 36 to 50

 Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Intermediate Carnivore Pet Food Back at the school team residence, Chen Xing closed the door. Lying on the bed, Chen Xing closed his eyes and opened the Stone Booklet to check the mini-game related to Taotie’s newly awakened skills. Interactive Minigame (Escape the Great Vortex): Create a Great Vortex within the designated area. The owner throws a small ball into the vortex and the pet must dive into the heart of the Great Vortex to retrieve the target ball and bring it back within three minutes. Exceeding the time limit results in failure. Proficiency Level: Beginner (0/10) There was a friendly progress bar following the minigame. It seemed to represent the skill’s Proficiency Level, which could optimize the skill if the game was cleared successfully, much like a Passive Skill. But after thinking for a while, Chen Xing couldn’t help but stare at the word “Beginner.” The previous Passive Skill, Water Concealment, did not have this Proficiency Level advanceme...

Eternal Sacred King Chapter 629 to 638

 Chapter 629: Three Formations! The scholar who arrived with a fresh set of green robes was Su Zimo who had escaped here. The attention of the hundred Nascent Souls were drawn over immediately. The old lady could not see what was going on outside and merely hugged the child tightly in her embrace. “You’re finally willing to show yourself, little beast?” Many Nascent Souls stood in midair and looked down at the mansion not far away, sneering in mockery. Su Zimo had an indifferent expression and walked down the stone steps into the courtyard. He gazed silently at the old man beneath the peach blossom tree with a deep sorrow in his eyes. The old man’s eyes were closed and he had a peaceful expression, as though he was in a deep sleep. The furnace made of red clay burned and flickered. There was a bowl of wine remaining above that was still warm. Su Zimo was oblivious to the encirclement of the hundred Nascent Souls and walked towards the furnace. He lifted the remaining bowl of wine a...
