ENTER BY THE NARROW GATE.

📖 Bible Reading:
Matthew 7:13-14, NLT:-
🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.
14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

🔑 Key Verse:
“Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few will find it.”

• Matthew 7:14, NIV

The Message:
Sometime ago, I travelled with some church members and we went through the new express way from Ogbomoso. Because of the width of the road, there were many vehicles plying it and almost everyone was going at neck-breaking speed resulting in accidents on both sides of the road. Two days later, I had to come to Ogbomoso to submit my dissertation and I decided to go by public transport. The driver went through the old road which was narrow and full of bumps in many places. The few vehicles plying this route had an automatic speed limit placed on them by the many bumps on the road. I also found fewer accidents on this narrow road compared to the broad expressway where both old and fresh accident scenes could be found on both sides.

Jesus here compared the entering God’s kingdom to travelling on two paths – the broad and the narrow. The broad road is spacious and easily found by many who travel on it without pausing to think before taking it. Its end however is destruction. The narrow road, in contrast, is not plied by many because of the difficulties therein but it eventually leads to life eternal. To be Christ’s disciple may not be an easy task but it is surely rewarding. Be wise in your choice-making because all that glitters is not gold.

Birthday Blessing:
“I will look after you and multiply you, and fulfil my covenant with you.”

• Leviticus 26:9.

Joshua 23; Acts 3; Jeremiah 12; Matthew 26.
