During repair work on a railway track...

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, … nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord.

Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:7–8

During repair work on a railway track, a serious accident cost the lives of two workers. At the usual warning signal to indicate a train was coming, they cleared the track on which a freight train was expected to pass, but instead of leaving the track altogether as was the rule, they stayed on a parallel track. Over the noise of the passing freight train, they failed to hear the approach of a high-speed train on the other track and were fatally injured.

This sad event, which left two families in mourning, can serve to illustrate the attitude that many people have about their eternal safety. Just as the workers thought they had kept themselves safe by merely changing tracks, these people may recognise certain dangers and do their best to avoid them. But generally that just means exposing themselves to another danger. These people do no more than move from one dangerous track to another which is no less dangerous. They make an effort to give up this or that vice, and sometimes they succeed in doing so. But this doesn’t necessarily make them safe, at least not forever.

The only safe track leads to the cross of Calvary, where Jesus Christ died for lost people to give them eternal life. A mere “change of track” is not enough!

Today’s reading: Isaiah 11:1-12:6 · Acts 24:10-21

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?
Open Heavens

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
Open Heavens
for Thursday, December 19, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More
BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY
Open Heavens
for Friday, February 28, 2014
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
