HOW YOUR DECISION CAN AFFECT YOUR DESTINY .
Jere.1:4-5. Says : Then the word of the Lord can unto me saying :
Before I formed thee in the belly , I knew thee , and before thou camest forth out of the womb , I sanctified thee , and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations .
Yesterday we look into the place of obedience in fulfilling destiny . But today , we want to look into how your decision can affect your destiny either positively or negatively . May the Lord help us to always take right decisions in life in Jesus Name .
Everyday of our lives , we take one decision or the other . We take decision about what and when to eat . We decide where to go , who to be our friends etc .
In the book of Joshua 24:15 . Joshua said to the people of Israel to choose whom they we serve, but he said as for him and his house , he will serve the Lord .
In Deut .30:19 Moses said, I call heaven and earth to record this day against you , that I have set before you life and death , blessing and cursing : therefore choose life , that both thou and thy seed may live .
Moses set two things before the children of Israel , life and death , blessing and cursing . He advised them to choose life . I advise you too , to choose life, so you may live and be blessed .
Whatever you become today is as a result of the decisions you took yesterday .
By His grace , I chose to give my life to Jesus in the village , when I had the gospel , and that is the reason why I am what I am today . If not , I would have ended up in the village as a local farmer or I would have died .
In 2kings 5:20 -27 . Gehazi decided to be convetious and collected the gifts that Naaman brought which his master rejected , and lied about it, the result was leprosy. He died as a leper . That was the result of his decision .
But in the case of Joseph , he decided to run away from adultery , though he suffered for the sin he never committed , but at the end , his decision paid off , he became a prime minister in Egypt . If he had decided to do what the wife of his master asked him to do, he would have ended up in the house of potiphar. Nobody who have had anything about him today . Gen.39, 0 , 41 .
Esau decided to sell his birthright , and later regretted his decision . Hebrews.12:16-17. Says: Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright . For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessings , he was rejected : for he found no place of repentance , though he sought it carefully with tears .
Many have sold their birthright like Esau today , because of little enjoyment .
Don't let the devil steal your precious destiny because of the enjoyment of fornication and adultery . Run away from anything that can tamper with your destiny. Take right decisions base on the word of God, and you shall fulfill your destiny in Jesus Name .
Prayer point: : Father , please guide me everyday of my life, to always take right decision in Jesus Name .
The Almighty has set before us to choose between life and death and he enjoin us to choose life I believe everyone of us would chose live over death.
