The Bible is a book of decisions, that is why you have about 321 ‘ifs’ in the New Testament alone. ‘If’ connotes your right to choose whether to follow God or not. One of the things that man learnt when Adam fell is buck-passing; to look for whom to blame for their problems including blaming God. Such people find it difficult to obey simple instructions.

PRAYER CONT’D Today is the last Wednesday of the month of July 2023. Remember that every passing moment takes us closer and closer to eternity.
