“Christians – Walk Carefully”
Wednesday, March 12, 2025Key Verse
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,” Ephesians 5:15
Text — Ephesians 5:15-17
Message
A boat rider knows that it is essential to have a means of steering and the source of power because of their importance.
A boat rider cruising off the coast must not lose focus neither must he lose the ability to steer well. Losing the ability to steer will lead to serious danger as he will be at the mercy of the wind and the currents. These two necessities become even more essential if the sailor is travelling through dangerous seas. He would also need an accurate navigational chart and a means of determining his own location, so that he can know exactly where the obstacles are and can avoid them. Without these, disaster is almost certain.
The Christian life is much the same. A Christian must walk carefully, act carefully and behave carefully as the Devil’s job is to steal, to kill and to destroy; He is always in the business of setting traps so you can fall into them. There are dangerous rocks and obstacles that can cause Christians to go astray. To walk safely through, you must be very careful. You must pay close attention to the word of God as you daily study your Bible and give all attention to prayer. This is the way to have and enjoy victory.
