🌷👑# TOPIC:
IT'S TIME TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

📕# BIBLE TEXT:

Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? >If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”
But the people said nothing. 1 Kings 18:21.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

🔑🔒# KEY VERSE:

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24).

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

❤️# CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
It's an error to patronize God and the devil at the same time. You either work with God or follow the devil.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

✍️# INTRODUCTION:
The Call to serve God is not just a mere one. This is a call with responsibility. It is a call to holiness. It should be treated with honor and respect. How long will you be struggling between two opinions, declare now for God alone or you forsake Him entirely. Make up your mind now or never.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

🥞🖊️# MAIN DISCOURSE:
Indecision is one of the biggest challenges faced by many people who profess to be members of the body of Christ.

How can a man be in the house of God while also interracting with the devil?

How can you give God your body while your heart dines with the devil?

According to our text for today, the prophet Elijah exclaimed to the whole congregation of Israel, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God follow Him, but if baal be God, follow Him; But the people answered him not a word".

This is actually the state of many Church goers.

They're confused and indecisive; they do not know who to follow, whether God or the devil.

The worst mistake any man will make is to remain confused about whether to serve God wholeheartedly or the devil when the time comes for him to depart this earth.

You must make up your mind about who to follow before it's too late.

You should not look like a Christian during the day and change into an unbeliever in the night.

What a shame!

Make up your mind now, before it is too late.

A confused person can't secure a place in God's kingdom in heaven.

Many are using church as a cover whereas their real personality is enveloped in sin.

It's time to step out and declare your stand, whether you'll serve God in truth and in spirit or wholeheartedly follow the devil.

📜# DECLARATION:
If you would like to give your life to Jesus, you can do so by saying this prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I come to you a sinner. I ask that You forgive my sins. I accept you into my heart as my Lord and personal saviour. Thank You for saving me, in Jesus' name. Amen."

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

🙏🏿# PRAYER:
Father, I choose to follow You and reject the option of following sin and the flesh, in Jesus' name. Amen.
