“Jesus delivers us from the power of the curse and restores us to the promise of blessings”



“I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life”
- Deuteronomy 30:19

Life is about choices. Good or bad, we must make them. Everyday our mind is engaged in making choices. As a created being, we have free will to chose. God in His infinite wisdom has equipped us with His Word and empowered us with His Spirit to make the right choice when we are faced with making a decision. Set before us are blessings and curses, life and death. What will you choose? It is not a guessing game where you select what is behind door number 1,2 or 3. Our choices are a matter of life and death, blessing or curses. While we understand that the choices we make comes down to how discipline and obedient we are. Consequently we don’t always make the wisest choices and occasionally our indiscretions overwhelm us and God is grieved. However, when you follow the path of our Lord, it leads to blessings and a life more abundantly. The question then becomes what will you chose?
Heavenly Father, I am so grateful that you chose to die on the cross and be raised for my sins and the sins of the world. Through you, I have life more abundantly because I chose blessing over curses and life over death. Thank you for showing me the way that leads to everlasting life. – Amen
