UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF CHOICE

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF CHOICE

INTRODUCTION

¹⁹I 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, both thou and thy seed may live.²⁰That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him, for He is thy life and the length of thy days, that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob to give them. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)

¹⁵And if it seem evil unto you to serve the lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of Amorites in whose land ye dwell but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)

Because man is free morale, God ties his destiny to his choices. Life and death, success and failure are strictly tied to our choices. We are all expected to live from the sum total of our daily choices. The way we live our lives interprets the sum total of our choices. When men make choices, they reap the consequences of their choices. God relates with men from the choices they make in life. God orders our lives from the choices of our lives. Every life is introduced to its destiny through choices. The path that leads to our life’s destination is forged in choices. Choice of where to live, what to eat, what to wear, the kind of marriage we want to have and the kind of children we want to raise are always before us. The choices we make in life interpret who we are. Our choices reveal us. There is power in choice. We must not trifle with the opportunities to make tangible decisions when they come. Rich destinies can be marred through wrong choices. Every tangible decision men make introduces them to a path. When men choose the game they want to play, they must accept the rule of the game. Choice rules and we can’t trifle with the rich opportunities choice provides for us.

UNDERSTANDING HOW TO MAKE RIGHT CHOICES

What we know about ourselves and destiny will always help us to take important decisions. Every life is expected to be navigated through choice. It is wrong to use every door that opened itself to us. We must allow what we know about ourselves to control the sum of the choices we make. It is not possible to know how to live until you know what is written concerning you. Concerning Jesus Christ, the Bible says He came in the volume of the book to fulfill what was written concerning Him (Hebrews 10:7). The Messianic life of Jesus Christ was directed by the choices He made. Jesus Christ lived His life the way He was expected to live it because He had accurate knowledge of how He was expected to live. We must not allow those who don’t know anything about us to take important decisions for us. People should know us enough before they can take decisions for us. You need to be told that your life is your own and only you must live it.
