READ: PSALMS 1:1-3

1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

MESSAGE:

What influences you to do the things that you do? What influences how you dress and how you speak?

Is it your favourite secular musician, the friends you keep on social media or the word of God?

Who do you aspire to become? Who God says you should be or who your friends think it is cool to be?

Whatever choice you make, I want you to know one thing – you will end up like whatever influences you.

Elisha’s major influence was Elijah, hence he became a great prophet.

So think about it, how did those who were on the path that you are currently towing many years ago end up?

The secular musicians who you want to dress like and speak like, how did their predecessors end up? Believe me honestly, if you tow their paths, then you are likely to end up like them.

Ultimately, anyone whose influence is outside of Jesus Christ will end up in hell. John 14:6 tells us that Jesus is the only way to the Father. He is the only link we have to heaven.

So if your lifestyle resembles that of your favourite secular musician instead of that of Jesus Christ, then there is no entry into heaven.

Be wise, choose your influencer (mentor) wisely.

REFLECTION:
What influences you to behave the way that you do – Is it the Word of God or otherwise?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HYMN 7

1.Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord to thee
Take my moment and days
Let them flow ceaseless praise.

2.Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of thy love
Take my feet and them be
Swift and beautiful for thee

3.Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my king
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.

4.Take my sliver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.

5.Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,

6.Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At They feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
