RIGHT CHOICE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 16

In all His messages, there is life and power to anyone that makes his or her choice in the word Jesus gave. All through His ministry on the face of this earth, there was no better way for Him to communicate His message of peace and hope than to continue to say it the ways He did. When you begin to hear, hearing will then bring forth faith. Romans 10:17, ÒSo then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.Ó Jesus said it in plain word and He also said it parables. Above all, He said it in demonstration of power; undeniable miracles after miracles. Despite all His means of communication, not all received His message. This is why peace and hope is having no proper place in the life of man including most that claim to have received and accepted Him as the Lord and Savior. You do not, however, go by what the world goes by, but you go by what the Word says to you. In John 16:33, Jesus said Òthese things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the worldÓ What He said to one, He has said it to all. How have you received His word? You as an individual do have the choice of peace in Him if you choose Him, That is why He said you may have peace. Tribulation is a certainty and that is why He said you will have tribulation in this world. In this world, tribulation will come not only to unbelievers but to all. There is a way out of tribulation and the way is to choose Him and encounter that tribulation with peace or you can rather please yourself and the enemy in tribulation without Him. If you have confessed Christ and your lifestyle do not demonstrate Christ, you are living in self-denial. Is there any doubt about your relationship with Christ? Today is the day of your reckoning; make adjustments where there is a need. Proverbs 12:21, ÒNo grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.Ó The days we are now living are days of trouble. Trouble and tribulation will come, but because you have chosen Him, you are bound to overcome because your righteousness is in Christ Jesus.
