    *THREE MAJOR TURNS*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  03 November 2024:Share*


SCRIPTURE: And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice Glorified God - *Luke 17:15*


We are daily loaded with benefits - *Psalms 68:19*


The Mercy of God is daily renewed in our lives and it is of His Mercies we are not consumed - *Lamentation 3:23-24*


Therefore, everyman is blessed by God daily.


*With God's daily Blessings, there are at least three major turns we can make:*


First, we may turn away from God. 


The Blessings from God can move us away from Him. 


For instance, the Prodigal son got his Inheritance from his father and moved away to a far country. He eventually lost his Inheritance on riotous Living - *Luke 15: 11-13*


*Whenever Blessings move us away from God, we will eventually lose the Blessings.*


Second, a man blessed by God can turn against Him.


Saul of Tarsus was a blessed man. He was an exceptionally Brilliant Lawyer and held a Good Position in the Society. But he turned against God. 


Jesus said to him on his way to Damascus, 'why persecute thou me?'


Therefore, he was knocked down by God - *Acts 9:4*


*The Blessings were not taken from him but became a curse to him.*


God says if a man receives my Blessings and turn against me, I will curse his Blessings - *Malachi 2:2*


Third, a blessed man can turn to God.


In our Anchor Text above, one of the Lepers healed returned to Jesus. 


*This means his Blessings moved him closer to God.*


Whenever a man moves close to God, He will move close to him - *James 4:8*


*When God moves close to a man, no devil can steal his Blessings.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me never to turn away from You nor turn against You, but to turn to You in Jesus Christ Name.

It is Perishable - *Genesis 3:19* The Soul is the seat of Will, Emotion, and Intellect. The Soul of Man is Eternal.

Wisdom is a critical requirement for profitable life in time and in eternity.  ●Ecclesiastes 10:10 makes it clear that wisdom is profitable to direct.  ●So, it is not possible to experience a profitable life in this world and in the world to come without wisdom. This means, the absence of wisdom is the abundance of losses, losses in this life and in the life to come. People lose where wisdom is lacking. People even lose their souls in eternity in hellfire because they did not apply their hearts to wisdom on the earth. A profitable

Jacob was enlarged, and the Bible says, the man (Jacob) increased Exceedingly - *Genesis 30:43* The Enlargement of Jacob was with a lot of Struggles.  He Struggled with Esau, his brother, in the womb - *Genesis 25:22* Even when he was born, he continued to Struggle with Esau, for his Birthright.  Jacob, in his quest for Enlargement, deceived his father. Jacob also Struggled with Laban, his Uncle. Jacob Struggled with God - *Genesis 32:24-30* *Though Jacob enjoyed Enlargement, his Life was full of Troubles, Pain, Stress, Fear, Depression and the likes.* The conversation between Jacob and Pharaoh
