The power of choice examined

Testimony Time:-Good morning to all those who are called and addressed by His Name. This is a new week ushered in through His Opulence, I pray by His power that we will experience breakthrough from today in our endeavours in Jesus name. Amen Today, I encourage you to take adequate care when it comes to exercising the in built power we possess in relation to choice. We must try at all cost to renounce all attribute that may infect our reasoning with infatuations of this world. This is the only way we can prevent making a wrong judgment that will often lead to nowhere. The issue of choice springs up at every level of our thoughts. But what we must base our judgement on are:- 1. If our judgement is as a result of greed (remember what happened to Abraham and Lot in Genesis 13. Lot at his separation with Abraham, chose with greed and infatuation. As a result, his popular choice of the land then, turned to be the Sodom and Gomorrah, till this day) 2. Is your choice as a result of payback. (Leviticus 19:18, Proverbs 24:29, Mark 11:25 and 1 Thessalonians 5:15). Romans 12:2 treats the subject soundly "do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect". Therefore vengeance, hatred and lack of forgiveness cannot be an acceptable means to our choice. In this new week, decision has to be made, but on what ground and by which means? Would they be based on Biblical injunctions, using and relying on the Words of God? Or on emotions drawn from greed, revenge, lust and lack of love, to say the least? The good thing is, both effort has their rewards. And may the inbuilt power of choice given by God lead us away from perdition. Amen. Do have a fruitful week in His Presence. Just checking in into His Presence...
