KEY SCRIPTURE: John 18:5 ISV ” They answered him, “Jesus from Nazareth.” Jesus told them, “I AM.” Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.”

Judas has always stood with Jesus, throughout the period of Jesus’ ministry in the region. This time the bible said he was standing with the wicked. How come a holy man could end up standing among evildoers? Dear readers, evil never occurred only on that occasion. He had carried the seed of iniquity in him all the while. It only matured at that very hour. What would have happened, if the betrayal of Jesus had not occurred, yet he died with his greedy lifestyle? He would have ended up in hell but would say to the Lord, I was one of your trusted disciples, why am I here? Please note, it is not the so-called one big sin, but the little secret sins; they are the real Waterloo. Always remember this statement, small sins grow and when they grow, they kill.

Where are you standing today? What do you do when no one is looking? Please note, that the man who is tempted to commit a particular sin, but does not yield to it, should not feel guilty concerning this line of study. I am talking about the man, who secretly practices error or sin, yet presents himself to all as a genuine person. Dear one, if you are living this way, then you are standing with the devil. Psalm 1:1 says, blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight, is in the law of the Lord” You do not belong to the way of the wicked, refuse to walk that way.

You can leave that wrong location of your life. The story of the prodigal son, says, he came to himself and started asking himself questions. Ask yourself, where and who am I standing with? If your answer says you are in the wrong location, then ask the Lord for forgiveness and leave that secret life of sin. Break that wrong association too. Go to your master and build a better relationship with Him. Please do not postpone your decision or corresponding actions. Do not walk in the path of the wicked. If you do not stop today, you may miss the ultimate destination, which is heaven.

THOUGHT: DO NOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER MOMENT, TO REPENT FROM A SINFUL LIFE, IT MAY BE TOO LATE.
