MAKE GOOD USE OF THE OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES ON YOUR WAY.

One may ask why this message. At times our good Lord does give us so many opportunities to turn us from our bad deeds, but we don't realize it. 

Let’s take a good look at Judas Iscariot. He was among the last twelve disciplines that Jesus worked with. According to the Bible, Jesus first chose 120 disciples and later reduced them to 72.

Finally, Jesus selected only 12 disciplines yet Judas was included. We all know Judas to be number one thief. Jesus could have exempted him, but a valuable opportunity was given to him in order for him to change his life for the better.

  JOHN 12 VS 4-7 reads, 4 But Judas Is·cari·ot,

One of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said:

5“Why was it this perfumed oil was not sold for three hundred denari and given to the poor people?”

6 He said this, though, not be-cause he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief and had the money box and used to carry off the monies put in it.

7 Therefore Jesus said: “Let her alone, that she may keep this observance in view of the day of my burial.

This took place six days before the passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised up from the dead. Therefore they spread an evening meal for him there, and Marthad was ministering,

Mary, therefore, took a pound of perfumed oil, genuine nard, very costly, and she greased the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet dry with her hair .The house became filled with the scent of the perfumed oil.

Judas did ask the perfume to be sold and donate the money to the poor. Deep within him, he was lying. He wanted to sell the perfume and keep the money.

At the last end Judas sold everything and sold Jesus out; thinking that Christ has the power to rescue himself. But when he realized that the Messiah did nothing to rescue himself. He regretted his action and killed himself with a rope.

Moses also behaved in similar manner. Moses was known as keeping his father-in-law’s flock. God picked him up and used him miraculously. But due to the quick temperedness of Moses, he did go the promise land.

God gave both Judas and Moses chances to change their reactions’ in Christ but they did not. As Christian we truly know that some of our reactions are bad. But we still keep on repeating these reactions hoping that so far as we are in Christ we are “Royals”.

The Lord God is telling you at this hour that we should change from our bad ways, as we flourish. Because been luxurious does not mean that God is good with us.

STAY BLESS MY PALS.
