GOD, THE REVEALER OF BENEFICIAL SECRETS

GOD, THE REVEALER OF BENEFICIAL SECRETS

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.


An Arab chief tells a story of a spy who was captured and then sentenced to death by a general in the Persian army.

This general had the strange custom of giving condemned criminals a choice between the firing squad and the big, black door.

As the moment for execution drew near, the spy was brought to the Persian general, who asked the question, "What will it be: the firing squad or the big, black door?"

The spy hesitated for a long time. It was a difficult decision. He chose the firing squad.

Moments later shots rang out confirming his execution. The general turned to his aide and said, "They always prefer the known way to the unknown. It is characteristic of people to be afraid of the undefined. Yet, we gave him a choice."

The aide said, "What lies beyond the big door?"

"Freedom," replied the general. "I've known only a few brave enough to take it."

In life, you always have a choice to do the right thing over the wrong thing.

You can choose to do things that will help you grow spiritually or you don't. You can choose to read your Bible or watch television instead. You can choose to study God's Word or read a celebrity magazine.

Ultimately, every decision will lead you to a consequence.

So be smart in making decision and be serious in growing your faith.

Again, it's your choice to ignore this message or start a spiritual revival that will lead to a serious relationship with God; then you would be a Spirit-Filled Christian,

If you choose the latter... you better start moving and get out of your comfort zone.

Ignore the world and pursue after God.
