TURNING POINT

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.
