I thank God for this week long message on decision making, God richly bless you as you read. 😊🙏

You will discover that once you make life changing decisions, you just simply cannot carry everyone along with you.
Some may understand, and some may not.
Don’t worry, what matters is that you FOCUS and make that decision, because at the end of the day it’s your life, And your life is in the Hands of God, and not man remember that.
Your life is not my life, when it comes to your destiny you must always put God first no matter what.
Always remember we are all answerable to God.

Decision making is pretty much summed up in this scripture. Luke 9:57-62
Decisions are always hard but once made through Christ Jesus, they are always right.

“Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.””
Luke 9:57
“And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.””
Luke 9:58
“Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.””
Luke 9:59
“Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.””
Luke 9:60
“And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.””
Luke 9:61
“But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.””
Luke 9:62

When you make decisions through Christ not only will you change, but your location is guaranteed to change.
You will never remain the same or in the same place, once you take that leap of faith, your story will change in Jesus Name.

Decision making in Jesus Christ is not a respecter of age, status, family, or even friends.
This scripture teaches us that if you want to make decisions through Him,
then you must be willing to let go of things, and even people. That’s deep right.
Jesus Himself told the disciple “let the dead bury the dead”.
Harsh, but true.
That’s the cost of discipleship, and a disciple simple means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Making life changing destiny decisions are always going to cost you something, you’re always going to have to let go and give.
Give yourself, give your time, make sacrifices, sow seeds, invest in yourself and others.

You must be willing to go the extra mile once you make that the decision to follow Jesus Christ there must be no turning back.
Brethren the only way you should be moving is forward.
If you fail in making decisions you will always remain where you are, sad but true.
Remember the aim is to please, obey, and serve God wholeheartedly.
Your decisions can never stand if your decisions never consider Jesus Christ, because our decisions must always be made in relation to the Kingdom of God, and by doing so you are definitely guaranteed the whole backing of heaven. Amen!
Therefore brethren I challenge you today to make decisions that will benefit your life and destiny in accordance to the perfect will of God.

When you make destiny changing decisions your eyes will be opened.
Joel 2 you will see visions and you will dream dreams.
Daniel 2 God will open the eyes of your understanding and you will know the secrets of that which is hidden.
Brethren there are many benefits that you will receive once you make difficult decisions through Jesus Christ He will bless you.
God Himself will shut the mouth of every lion,
and will cause you to walk through the fire like Daniel who stood by his decision to serve no other god but the God of heaven and earth!
God will defeat every Haman in your life when you make the decision to arise and fight like queen Esther did.

Brethren you have to make the decision to arise so that your light can shine.
Because if you do not arise your light will be overcome by darkness. God did not instruct Joseph to flee when Mary was carrying The Son of God for no reason, no it was to protect the star/destiny of His Son. Brethren believe it or not but the enemy is out to destroy your star. Herod sought to destroy The Light Jesus Christ, wise men were sent to find that star and they succeeded in doing so but could not do anything else but to worship The King of kings and The Lord of lords.
I pray that the enemy shall do a detour, they shall divert when it comes to your destiny.
Brethren many stars which are destinies have been destroyed, though Herod failed in finding the star of Jesus he sadly succeeded in destroying many other stars in his pursuit of destroying the Saviour. That is why we must pray for wisdom, revelation, and discernment, like Joseph had and also the mother of Moses who also protected the star of her son, and his star/destiny was that he was a deliverer. Pray and protect your destiny. Amen

Brethren there are many benefits that you will receive once you make difficult decisions through Jesus Christ He will bless you.
God Himself will shut the mouth of every lion, and will cause you to walk through the fire like Daniel who stood by his decision to serve no other god but the God of heaven and earth!
God will defeat every Haman in your life when you make the decision to arise and fight like queen Esther did.
There is no decision that you will make that will be easy but it will always be worth it.
Gideon had to make the decision to destroy his father’s idols before he could continue progressing as a great and mighty man of valour.
Brethren you’ve got to pray first, you’ve got to fast first, you’ve got to war in the spirit first.

“If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”
Psalms 11:3

“He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”
Luke 6:48

Make that difficult decision through Jesus Christ and you will begin to see things becoming much easier for you.
God promises favour, long life, good health, blessings, joy, peace, wisdom, the spirit of excellence, knowledge, understanding, joy, peace, and all that is good.
All you need to do is trust and obey Him, repent, walk in righteousness and holiness live a life that’s pleasing to Him, and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Our prayer should always be let Your will be done, because our lives are living testimonies of His glory. All the glory belongs to God.
When His will is done in your life then there’s no power that can contend against it.

Do not be afraid when it comes to making decisions.
Always pray for the spirit of discernment.
And do not be afraid for God Himself will strengthen you with His power and His fire to endure.
Because when we make decisions through Christ satan will not be happy and will do everything to deter you from fulfilling that decision.
That’s a fact of choosing to live for Jesus Christ, that’s why we must learn to wage war against the enemy.
Like John the Baptist himself said the kingdom of God suffers violence, and it’s only the violent that take it by force, and we do so spiritually for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in high places.
So make sure you are fully prepared when you make decisions through Jesus Christ, and if you really desire a change in your life, if you notice generational patterns, if you are angry about your current situation then, Now is your time to arise and shine and make that decision through Jesus Christ.

I pray that we will be bold when it comes to making decisions like Esther who said

if I perish, I perish.

This was a do or die situation, and she faced it not by her own strength nor by her own power but by The Spirit. Esther fasted, she prayed, she sought the counsel of The Lord, she discerned, she agreed in fasting and prayer with others in one accord, Esther humbled herself, and then she faced the situation HEADSTRONG.
Esther was wise, she was aware of the devices of satan, she understood that he is crafty, and so she DID NOT make too much noise.
You see as Christians we should not just go and make decisions anyhow,
learn from Esther she prepared herself spiritually before taking physical action, and she was successful in all that she did because The Lord was with her, she did not perish but her enemies sure did.
Make bold decisions through Jesus Christ.

Oh that you would be silent,
And it would be wisdom!
Job 13:5

Brethren SILENCE is WISDOM.
It is not everything that you should announce, you have to learn to wait on The Lord and speak at God’s appointed time.
When Jesus began His ministry His good works, power, the annointing, His Blood which speaks better things than that of Abel, and the testimonies of those that encountered Him spoke for Him.
Let this be our portion in Jesus Name that the glory of The Lord shall speak on your behalf.

Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him.
Job 13:14

This scripture is powerful even when He takes you through the fire trust Him anyway, even when He allows you to be thrown into the midst of lions trust Him anyway knowing that The Lord is more than able to deliver you, even when the enemy seeks to destroy your life trust God anyway, knowing that the day the enemy seeks to destroy your life is the day the enemy writes his own death sentence amen! Remember that God sacrificed His own son who went through pain that surpasses all the pain that one could ever pass through, and even though He caused His son to pass through the pain He did this with a purpose to save the lost to redeem and deliver. Though He slay me yet I will trust Him knowing that The Lord will never leave me, and that it is all for His glory, and for a purpose.
God sacrificed His own son, but the same God raised Jesus up from the dead.
He makes the impossible possible and all for His glory.
Decisions require sacrifice, and when sacrifices are made anything that is dead in your life will surely resurrect in Jesus Name.

See now, I have prepared my case,
I know that I shall be vindicated.
Job 13:18
He shall be my salvation.
Job 13:16

The Lord is my strength, and my song, my Strong Tower in time of trouble, my very present help in time of need.
I need not be afraid of the terror by night nor of the pestilence by day, for I know that The Lord is always with me.
Amen.
Again brethren I encourage you to be bold and be strong when it comes to making decisions through Christ Jesus.
And making decisions through Christ Jesus is always with purpose.

Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
Job 14:5

We live to please the Living God who knows ALL that concerns you.
He knows the length of our days and not only does He know the length of our days but He also determines it.
Therefore brethren whatever you do, do it with full confirmation from God.
It is only when you have God’s confirmation that you will have His full backing.
Make wise, purposeful, and bold decisions to better your life through Jesus Christ.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,saith the Lord,thoughts of peace,and not of evil,to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11

You need to focus, be determined, and dedicated when it comes to making decisions.
Making decisions also requires distance, there will often be times whereby you will need to withdraw in order to focus and wait on God.

People are wrongly positioned because they lacked spiritual sensitivity, and we see this in the case of Lot.
When it came to Lot and Abraham choosing a land to be settled in Lot chose the big beautiful city which was Sodom and Gommorah, brethren not all that glitters is gold.
What will make the difference in your destiny is discernment. Abraham had that discernment.
You see when God told Abraham to leave where He was and go to an unknown land, Abraham could have decided to disobey he could have chosen to be stubborn, he could have chosen to be comfortable and remain BUT he didn’t. Abraham made that life changing decision to go wherever The Father tells him to, no wonder he was blessed beyond measure and still is the father of many nations, what a legacy.
You will have a great legacy to leave behind if only you trust and obey God.
Most of the time we just do not want to face the trials, we just do not want to pass through the fire but brethren when you face the trials you shall surely rejoice in the day of tribulation, and when you pass through the fire you shall surely come out stronger, you shall come out gold!
If it had not been for Joseph’s brothers who knows if Joseph ever would’ve made it to Egypt, sure he went to prison but the same Joseph that went to prison ended up being the prime minister. You just have to trust God with your life, with your destiny.

Remember the ultimate choice is yours.
I pray that you make life changing decisions for your own destiny, because your destiny is yours nobody else’s so guard and protect it, most importantly endeavour to live it.

Amen, and God bless you.😊🙏
