Joel 3:13(Put 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. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day
of the LORD is near in the valley of decision).
The turning point is a point of decision; it is called the
valley of decision, it is a critical junction that we may encounter as an
individual in the journey of life. At this point the decision has to be made
whether you like it or not because no one can remain there forever that’s why
it is called the turning point. The question is where are you turning to? It is
a very critical point because whatever we do will determine where we will spend
our eternity; we have two options: hell or heaven. Some of us might have gotten
to this point in life that you know that you have got to a point of turning.
There are many options available to the individual. It is just that it is very
confusing. That's why a decision has to be made whether you like it or not. The
bible says that multitudes are at this point because the end is near. Oh my
God, these multitudes need to be saved, they need guidance, they need divine
direction; we can’t allow them to perish. Many started their journey on the
right path but later wandered away while some had been on the wrong path all
their life. No matter how far you have gone in the wrong path you cannot get to
your destination. At any point you realize that you have been on a wrong path
is your turning point and you need to make a decision whether to continue on
the wrong path and be wasted or turn to the right path and be saved. We are
here for a purpose and that purpose cannot be achieved in the wrong place. The
Israelite encountered so many obstacles on their way to the Promised Land but
because they were on the right path they arrived at their destination even
though they were delayed due to their own making. Obstacles are an inevitable
part of our journey; you just have to know who to turn to when you are
confronted with them. The children of Israel know exactly who to cry to
whenever they are confused. God was with them all the way and they were able to
get to their destination and possess their possession. You can’t afford to be
stuck in one place or get discouraged and go back to Egypt because going back
to Egypt is dangerous. Your oppressor will multiply your burden times seven. At
the red sea, they cried unto Moses and The LORD told Moses to tell the children
of Israel to move forward (Exodus 14:13-15). The decision was
to enter the sea because something has to be done. It is either you trust God
and enter the red sea to continue your journey or turn to Pharaoh and continue
in bondage, but that will not be you in Jesus name. At a point they were going
round in a circle and God said to them “Enough is enough” it is time to move
on, turn you and take your journey towards the mount of Amorites(Deuteronomy
1:7). That’s the beauty of being on the Lord's side, He will always
lead you through the part of righteousness to glorify His name and you cannot
perish by following Him (Psalms 23:3). Friends, you may not be
in the valley of decision because you are saved but there are many unsaved
souls out there that need direction; the bible says that multitudes are in the
valley of decision, they need help, and they don’t know what to do or which way
to turn. You and I are God’s rescuing agent that’s why we need to get to them
before something goes wrong in their lives. Being in the valley of decision can
be very frustrating, many have committed suicide and great destiny has been
destroyed just because somebody refuse to carry out his or her assignment but
that will not be you in Jesus name. Many have died of high blood pressure
because they don’t know what to do. We are the reaper and God said we should
put in our sickle of harvest because the harvest is ripe and ready. God wants
us to draw those multitudes that are in the valley of decision to His kingdom.
The prodigal son makes a wise decision and returns to his father (Luke
15:11-32). The only person that you can turn to at this point is God. He is
always there to lead and direct you; all you have to do is cry for help; He is
always eager to receive us when we genuinely come to Him. In case you are in
the valley of decision, you don’t need to be there anymore, permit me to point
and introduce you to the way; Jesus Christ is the way (John 14:6). Take
a bold step today and follow him by praying this salvation prayer below and be
blessed in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot
help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood.
Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you
as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
