THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

DATE:

THEME:
There Is Always Alternative. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds.”
Numbers 13:19.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Jeremiah 24:2.
“One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered day and night, light and darkness, good(peace) and evil, as parts of the alternatives created by the Creator, for each creation to freely act and flourish in his or her own scheme of things. A freedom of choice.
Meanwhile, our today’s text present us with two baskets of fruits; one basket is filled with very good figs, ready to be eaten and the other with bad and rotten figs, which could not be eaten, but to serve as fertilizer. The question is, are you of the good figs or the rotten figs? Moses was a vessel, so also was Pharoah.
Furthermore, it is possible for someone to live in the village and another to live in the city. Do know that, as remote a village may appear, there will still be good abode to dwell. And no matter how noble a city is, you will likely to find a slum.
Finally, good figs nourishes the human body, while the rotten figs nourish the ground. Alternatives are readily available for God’s usage at every point in time. One can be use as unto honor, the other to dishonor. This call for examination of conscience, are you a vessel of honor to the glory of God, or otherwise? May you continue to please your Maker in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not lose my relevance before God. By grace, I will remain a vessel of honor.

PRAYER POINT:
Father of Mercy, in You I will be for honor. Please Lord, help me to always be readily available for Your use, and may I not turn to dishonor in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

THEME:
There Is Always Alternative. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Genesis 1:5.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Isaiah 45:7.
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered the righteous and the sinner, the kind of past and future available for these two class of People. And that a repented sinner, although coming out of a wayward life, has a better future awaiting, while a backslider, while only remember a better past.
Nevertheless, the truth remains that a saint today, had a bitter pass, while a sinner today has a better future. That’s a saint, has a pass, while there is still a future, for a repented sinner. The choice is yours, for we all have stories to tell, either of the past, present or in the future.
Meanwhile, our memory verse affirms the fact that the Creator at the creation, gives room for alternatives in order to allow freedom to choose personal choice in life’s matter. The freewill that propelled innate ability and personal choice to function ultimately and freely.
Finally, God in our today’s text expressly declared thus: *”I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil.”* While in His Word sent to the elects, God encourage us to make the right choice and not the wrong alternative. May God’s grace be sufficient for you to always make the best of choice to the glory of God in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not lose my better alternative. I will hold on to the good and not the bad.

PRAYER POINT:
Father of all Creation, You created all things for Your pleasure, I say to You be Honor, Power and Glory. Oh Lord, may I not lose the grace to always make good and right choice in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

THEME:
There Is Always Alternative. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Genesis 1:5.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Isaiah 45:7
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
To every coin, there is always two sides. And to every case story, you need to hear the two sides in order to ascertain the truth of the matter. And as Christ’ followers, we are no longer in the darkness of this world, we are in the light of Christ through the election of grace.
But then, our experience when we were in the dark and now that we are in the light, has helped us to appreciate the better alternative. Dear friend, if you are living a reckless, wayward or gruesome kind of life, know today, for the truth is that, *”There is a better alternative life awaiting you in Christ Jesus.”*
Furthermore, if you are living a sweet, focused and flourishing life, don’t forget the one that makes it possible, the Almighty. For if you do, *”There is a gloomy, backward and disastrous life awaiting backsliders.”*
In conclusion, there is always a better future for a repented sinner, an eternal glory and honor. Unfortunately, a better past can a backslide believer remembers. May you not miss the right choice of light and salvation through Jesus Christ in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not lose my better alternative. I will hold on to light and righteousness.

PRAYER POINT:
Heaven and Earth adore you, Oh eternal Father. Help me Lord, to always make the right choice and decision in life, all to the glory of Your holy name and for my blessings in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

Jesus Died, For You And Me.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

DATE:

THEME:
Jesus Died, For You And Me.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”
1 Peter 3:18.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Isaiah 53:5-6.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
A song writer once say in a song: *”I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me…”* This is from a grateful heart, who considered his/her unworthiness of this special love of God. To God be the glory, for the scripture says; _”…but love covereth all sins.”_(Proverb 10:12) Indeed, love is so powerful to erase all wrongdoings and to bring newness to our individual and collective relationship with Him.
Meanwhile, our memory verse expressly reveal that, through the Love of God, Jesus once and for all, suffered and died for our sins, that He might bring us back God’s original plan and glory.
However, our today’s text pictured in sequence, the steps taking or passages Jesus passed through in purchasing our redemption from Satan’s grip. Beloved, do recall that, Jesus was wounded, bruised and eventually died, not because of any sin of His, but for your sins and my sins. He chose to died for us, even in our unrighteousness.
In conclusion, Jesus love for mankind compelled Him to die for you and I. It will be good and kind of us, not to take His death for granted. Therefore, we must daily desist from anything that contradict His plan and purpose for our lives. May Jesus death on the Cross of Calvary, not be in vain in your life in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Jesus died for me. In return, I will live for Him all the days of my life.

PRAYER POINT:
Merciful and Loving Father, you do not neglect us even in our sinfulness. Oh Lord, grant me the grace to remain faithful and thankful for all Your many blessings and love over my life in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

Take Your Cross And Follow Me. II.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

THEME:
Take Your Cross And Follow Me. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”
1 Peter 3:18.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Mark 8:37-38.
“Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we saw that in order to carry our cross and follow Jesus, it is pertinent that, we deny ourselves many unnecessary things that could make the Cross unbearable and tiresome while following. We must do away with self gratification, we must do well to completely submit ourselves to Jesus Lordship over lives and most importantly, we must continually and day by day carry our cross.
Meanwhile, to carry our cross and follow Jesus must be with joy and we must not be ashamed of Jesus’ Cross. Jesus said,” _Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words…of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed…”_ (Mark 8:38) Beloved, carrying and following Jesus bring you to the place, where you will be ready to receive the gifts and the grace of God.”
Furthermore, you need to obey him in all things. The truth of the matter is, Christianity is all about living like Jesus, keeping God’s instruction and trusting Him for grace and the power to do His will without looking back.
In conclusion, you must keep denying flesh or self, by taking up your cross and following Jesus step everyday, for in doing this, you and I will be partaker of the king’s business in God’s kingdom. May you not loose focus, as you daily carry your cross in righteousness in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will be focus and ready at all times, for the Master’s use.

PRAYER POINT:
Father in heaven, you have given us the greatest gift of Your son, Jesus Christ. Help me Lord with Grace, to carry my Cross and follow You day by day in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
