CHOICES

I visited St. Frances and Ka Boyce High School in Mbabane last week to preach about Choices. I was in the company of my wife Precious, my daughter Nanette and our family friend Natalie. Read and be blessed;

CHOICES

Joshua 24:15 “If you are not willing to serve Him, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors worshiped in Mesopotamia or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living. As for my family and me, we will serve the LORD."

Why choices?

Choices determine our destiny. (you will reach your destination based on what you choose today)
What you choose today impacts your future. (When things go wrong in future you have no one else to blame, but yourself. When things go right in future, then you will celebrate and you will think back to the choices you made in the past)

Most young people make choices based on what their peers tells them. Today I want to challenge you to make a choice based on what you think is right for you.

I want you to choose between LIFE and death.

On the side of LIFE we have JESUS:

John 14:6 says, “Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man will come to the Father, but by me.”

He is God.
He is the Alpha and Omega.
The God of the family.
He is the living God.
He is the Ruler/Master.
He is the Mighty one.
He is the Most High.
He is the God who sees.
He is the eternity.
He is the All Sufficient God.
He is the Independent One.
He is the Lord Our Maker.
He is Our Provider.
He is our Healer.
He is Our Author, Our Captain.
He is the Son of God.
He is the King of Peace.
He is the King of kings.
He is the King of Righteousness.
He is there.



On the side DEATH we have the devil:

· he is the god of evil.
· he is the killer
· he is the deceiver.
· he is the liar.
· he is the destroyer.
· master of all evils.
· he is the destroyer.

-The Devil creates distractions and allusions to deflect us from reaching our goal. He has the ability to make things that are in God's purpose unimportant

-The devil despises God's law

NOW YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.

CHOOSE NOW, TOMORROW IS NOT YOURS.
NO LIVING BEING CAN GUARANTEE YOU TOMORROW.
CHOOSE TODAY FOR YOUR DESTINY.
CHOOSE LIFE TO LIVE.

REMEMBER YOU ARE YOUR OWN HERO AT THE END OF THE DAY.

Hero

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away
And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you
It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear
And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gon

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you
Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away

Hold on

There will be tomorrow

In time You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you
