It was later that I learned what a dedicated servant of God he was. He made himself available at all hours for people to call and talk to him. He slept very little and spent much time in prayer. I still think he didn’t quite choose the right approach to convince someone like myself, to go to Church and become Christian. However, he was not entirely wrong.

Many in this world deny it, but we have one major choice that we make in our lives and continue to make every day we are on this earth. In every action we take and with every word that crosses our lips, we are choosing between life and death - between God and satan. Some may think I am being dramatic and some may even suggest that I am trying to scare people into becoming Christian. (From my experience, I know that that doesn’t work. Actually it played a part in distancing me from the Church for some time). However, I find it important that we don’t pretend that being a Christian is only about being nice to each other and going to Church on Sunday. The truth is, if you don’t make a choice between God and satan, then you automatically choose satan without even realising it.

“When people cease to believe in God, they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.” (Lord Chesterfield)

We may walk the streets with ‘good intentions’, but through our own ignorance, we allow ourselves to be at the enemy’s beck and call. By doing this we may unwillingly hurt the ones we love and most of all, hurt ourselves. This doesn’t mean that God doesn’t Love us all, on the contrary, he is waiting for you; waiting for you to make the decision to choose life. God’s Love is perfect. He is the perfect father and he cannot wait till you come home. That is why it is written in Luke 15:10

“I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

The Angels in heaven have a great celebration when someone returns to God and accepts Jesus Christ as their saviour.

So why must we continue to make this choice every day? Isn’t once enough? Well, no – because every day is a constant battle and neither side wants to lose. But with God and the promise of Jesus Christ, we can overcome anything. Even Jesus was tempted by satan after his baptism (Matthew 4:1-11). That is why we need to remember the decision we have made and remember who you are when you are confronted with the enemy and are tested by satan. It is by our actions and reactions, our words and thoughts in such situations, that we are choosing between life and death.

“The tongue has the power of life and death” (Proverbs 18:21)
