The Power Of Decision

By
Some people are afraid to make decisions because they are afraid they will make the wrong ones. But it is better to make a wrong decision than not make any decision at all. This is because not making a decision is a decision. If you refuse to decide to succeed, you have consciously or un-consciously decided to fail. When you refuse to decide, your life is like a wheelbarrow, you only move as far as other people push you. If you refuse to lay the options for yourself and make your decision, you will have to live with the remaining option that is left after other people have made their choice.

 God designed life to respond only to decisions. Your life will only progress based on the decisions you have made. The reality of your life today is based on the decision you made yesterday. Many lives are not moving forward or not moving at the rate at which they should move because the people who own them have not gathered the courage to make the necessary decisions they need to make to move their lives forward.

From the time you make up your mind, it’s only a matter of time; life will deliver to you what you have demanded. Don’t settle for mediocrity, excellence is ahead of you. Don’t settle for something less than the best, and the best is yet to come. Make up your mind to move from where you are to where God wants you to be. Your decisions will determine your destiny, and your destiny is great.

When you make decisions, decisions also turn around to make you and each decision you make determines how far you will go in life. Don’t mortgage your life to indecision or leave it to the devil to decide. Make a choice today.

I remember the story of a soldier during the civil war in America. He was scared and could not decide which camp to stay in. He got the top uniform of one camp and the trouser of the other side and put them on. So whichever side he found himself, he would say ‘I’m on your side.’ But the day they saw him, soldiers of both sides saw him at the same time, one side saw only the top and the other side saw only the trouser, so the two sides fired him at ones. This was a bad way to die and either camp couldn’t claim his body.

Lack of decision is very dangerous to your progress in life. Many have ended like this soldier who thought it was safer to sit on the fence. Do not sit on the fence, stand for something and be committed to it; eventually you will reap the fruits of your labour.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
