10 March 2019 - ENCS

With the series on Genesis, Pastor Joey did continue today
We should follow, not filter, God’s word he did earnestly say
Lot became wealthier in Sodom but left with just his family
The angels said not to look back or stop, from Sodom to flee
Pastor said that these instructions parallel repentance for us
If we decide to look back instead of forward, it is dangerous

Lot told the angels that up to the mountains he could not go
Rather he asked to head to Zoar where fresh waters did flow
By focusing on the green pastures and ignoring God’s voice
Pastor said that clueless leader Lot made a clueless choice
We should decide based on faith instead of bowing to fear
Through the entire Bible, this principle is exceedingly clear

We need to decide which game we are choosing to play
God’s game and the world’s game differ, Pastor did say
Different rules, leaders, and results based on the game
Making uninformed or clueless choices is a big shame
Once Lot went to Zoar, with fire God did destroy Sodom
Lot’s wife looked back, turned into a pillar of salt - so dumb

Looking back effectively prevents us from forward moving
Indecision is a decision to be ineffective and not improving
Per James one verse six, we should believe without doubt
Doubt is double-mindedness, leading to an unstable route
Per Joshua twenty four, serving the Lord is the path to take
For himself and family, this is the decision Joshua did make

Unlike Lot, Abraham returned to where with the Lord he stood
God remembered Abraham and his prayers were understood
In the same way, we should each choose to be God’s friend
A relationship with God will ensure that to heaven we ascend
We should opt not to be busy but to the game of faith play
God will bless us for He hears our prayers, Pastor did say
