DCLM Sincere Milk 6 July 2024 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Danger Of Indecision
Topic: The Danger Of Indecision
Text: Joel 3:11-16
11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Key Verse: “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14
Message
There were two thieves crucified with Jesus. One on each side of His cross. One of the thieves made a wise decision that saved his soul and opened the gate of heaven to him. He was the most fortunate man at that point in time. On the other hand, the second thief could not make the right decision. He lost the opportunity of a life time, rejected the Saviour and went straight to hell fire.

Today, many children are still like the unwise thief. They hear the word of God on repentance and still remain undecided, not knowing that a day in hell fire is like a thousand years. Eternity is real, heaven and hell are real, if you miss heaven you will cry. The call is coming again, do not be careless as delay is dangerous. Jesus does not want any child to perish. His desire is that you repent of your sins, be saved and ready for heaven. You can be ready today by realizing you are a sinner, repent of your sins, promise Jesus that you will never go back to them. Continue in constant fellowship with the brethren and patiently wait for the coming of the Lord.
Further Reading: Genesis 19:22-26
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, please help me to make the right decision and follow You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
