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.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
