Procrastination takes a better part of us during crucial moments. For us to overcome this, we should pray openly to God about the issue at stake, evaluate and assess the pros and cons of each option and draw out questions revolving around biblical principles. However, if you are under pressure for a decision to be made, pray to God to guide you not to take any action in error. Thereafter, make your decision and have the confidence that God is working out His will in your life. Depend upon the Lord in decision making. He will incline your heart and mind to choose His course for you.   Read 1 Samuel 23:1-5 Criminality- The grooming of Young People Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents.

Outward Ceremonials of Religion

Amos 5:22 KJV - Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat

When seeking justice and righteousness, we should act correctly towards the needy and oppressed. Outward ceremonials of religion cannot cover up for transgressions.

Amos 5:16-27

God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

16Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

18Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
