CHOOSE GOD'S SIDE
Memorise:

Message
As we see in today's memory verse, God has set before everyone life and death, and blessing and cursing. You may say that you choose life and blessing, but truly, it is your daily actions that will reveal your actual choices.
In life, there are no 'little' decisions or actions. Every action a fellow takes determines whether he or she is choosing life or death. In Genesis 25:29-34, the Bible tells us how Esau returned home hungry and asked Jacob to give him a bowl of food in exchange for his birthright. He didn't know that his action would exclude him and his unborn children from the blessing he should have received. Today, nobody says,"The God of Abraham, lsaac, and Esau," because Esau made himself unfit to carry the blessing when he despised his firstborn position in his family. He chose wrongly, and he paid dearly for it.
In Joshua 7:16-26, the Bible tells us how Achan's wrong decision ultimately led to the destruction of his lineage. When God gave the Israelites victory over Jericho, God expressly commanded them not to take anything from Jericho. However, Achan chose to side with greed and ended up dying with every member of his family. I pray that in any area you might have made a wrong decision that has put you and your family in trouble, God's mercy will speak for you and help you retrace your steps, in Jesus' name.
Beloved, for your sake and generations after you that are yet unborn, ensure that you stay on God's side. Don't be hypocritical and pretend to be someone you are not. Be on God's side so that when He blesses you, your lineage will also be blessed. Love God wholeheartedly, not just for your sake, but also your lineage's sake. Psalm 112:1-2 says that if you delight in the Lord, your seed shall be mighty on the earth. This means that your descendants will not be ordinary; rather, they will be distinguished among their peers. Isaac became mighty because Abraham chose to side with God. The Bible described him as great' and then 'very great'. At a point, he became mightier than an entire nation, and this made the king to ask him to leave their land (Genesis 26:13-16),
Child of God, whatever or whomever you choose to side with will affect you and your descendants. I urge you to choose life with all your actions so that you and every individual in your lineage will live.
