Topic: The Way To Walk
Text: Ezekiel 20:16-20
16Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
18But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
19I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
20And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Key Verse: “I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;” Ezekiel 20:19
Message
Children love to have fun and also love to play; they play with almost everything. While walking to church, some children would leave the main road that is clear and free, they would start walking by the edges of the drainage. Some would even try to jump across the open drainage at the risk of causing injury to themselves. Some others even cover their faces while walking along the road to prove that they can walk with their faces covered. All these are dangerous ways of having fun; they could cause injuries that may take a life time to heal, avoid them.

God was not happy with the children of Israel because they refused to walk in the way He commanded them to walk in. They rejected God’s instructions and commandments by doing things in their own ways. Today, many children enjoy doing what is sinful and defiling. They love ungodly music, sinful games, transparent clothes that reveal their nakedness, worldly parties and sinful pleasures. Some boys and girls even copy the lifestyles of people they refer to as models such as worldly musicians, artists, ungodly men and women that have no good morals. God’s call comes to you today as it came to the children of Israel. Turn from your bad ways and walk in truth, walk in Righteousness and walk in Obedience, this is what God is calling you to do.

Prayer for today: Lord, give me the grace to walk in your way.
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)
