FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 13:5–18.

PRAISE & WORSHIP

Beloved, be prayerful and cautious when making decisions. Every decision you make can make or mar your destiny. Some decisions and actions look trivial and unimportant, but they often have big consequences – good or bad. Godly choices always bring blessings.

When David decided to confront Goliath while the trained soldiers of Israel were cringing in fear, little did he know that the small decision would change the course of his life favourably and permanently. That decision brought him out of obscurity and ushered him into limelight. It set the tone for the fulfilment of his destiny and his place in eternity.

Solomon, out of his deep love for God, decided to offer Him a thousand burnt offerings. God visited him in the night and blessed him with wisdom and riches above all kings in his time.

Decisions and actions that promote heaven’s agenda on earth will bring you untold blessings from God. Whenever you are making decisions or taking an action, ask yourself, “Will it please God and bless His work?” If it will, you should be assured of positive consequences or rewards.

When Jesus requested to use Peter’s boat to preach, Peter decided to give it to Him. He did not regret that decision and action. His numerous hours of profitless hard work was replaced by a net-breaking and ship-sinking catch. In addition, Jesus told him, “Follow me. I will make you a fisher of men.” That was Peter’s defining moment. How did all this start? Peter gave his ship to Jesus to use.

Beloved, it is important that you take decisions that will have positive outcomes for your life here and in eternity. It is also important to note that your godly decision and action will have bearing on your children and grandchildren.

Abraham, Peter, David and other Bible heroes who walked with God left great legacies for their forebears! Let us be as Joshua was and declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Always remember to make godly decisions and take godly actions. You and your descendants will reap godly fruits!
