Consistent Relationship Equals Good Decisions



On a daily basis, we are forced to take decisions concerning mundane things like what to wear, eat to important life choices as who to marry, what career path to pursue, and what to do to take our relationships, careers and businesses to the next level. All these decisions are most times based on some physical indices: Certain things that must play out that influences our decisions rightly or wrongly. At the same time, there are some decisions we take not based on some physical indices but on our gut feelings. After all these considerations, most of our decisions do not work out because they were based on chance and luck. The question then is: Is this how God designed our decision making process to be? Is there a way to have a fool proof decision that will yield the fruit it was intended?
One may argue that there is no other way to make the necessary decisions especially when one is in a corporate environment. This is not a management article; however, the Bible tells us: “All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons” (Romans 8:14). This is irrespective of where they are positioned – from the kitchen table to the corporate desk. Once you are led by the Spirit of God you are a son (male and female) of God. In order to be led by the Spirit of God, one must be in a constant and consistent relationship with God. When God created man to fill the earth and subdue it, He had a pattern in mind on how man was to go about the mandate. This was the reason He wanted man to be like Him not just bearing His image, but to carry His likeness as well so that His (God’s) will can come to bear on earth. To buttress this point, Jesus Christ in teaching His Disciples how to pray when they asked for it, He added this statement to the prayer: “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). In other words, they should not seek their will on any issue, which is based on the physical indices but to consistently seek God’s! Also, God Himself warned Moses in Exodus 25:40, “Be careful to make everything according to the model of them you have been shown on the mountain”. God is very  particular about this because His desire is to give us good things and an abundant life to enjoy on earth: “If you then who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him” (Matthew 7:11). Friend, for every decision you NEED to take, there is a pattern or template in Heaven; all you have to do is ASK for it. If you are in an environment where you can be called upon to take decisions immediately, it will do you great good to cultivate a consistent relationship with Jesus Christ, such that the Holy Spirit as your constant Guide will teach you what to do at a moment’s notice. The grace to cultivate a consistent relationship with God is released to you in Jesus Christ name. God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Daily Walk With The LORD

       As we await the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, we enter a time of great exposure and blessing. All that had been hidden will be revealed, all that had been a lie will be exposed, and those who can discern these things and make adjustments to their lives will be greatly blessed in this time!        As the Church Age draws to a close, we see and understand the Scriptures more clearly by the Help of the Holy Spirit, as we see Scriptures literary play out before our eyes. These are the times we must strengthen our resolve to serve Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Failure to do this is to fall into all manner of errors orchestrated by the devil through his agents to derail as many from the path of righteousness and eternal life in Christ Jesus.         Many strange but carefully crafted teachings are flooding the pulpits and airwaves to distract, confuse and steal the hearts of children of God from...

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...
