Decisions

All glory to GOD fo 2020 THANKSGIVING! The decision to thank GOD for freedom from enslavement was made by Native Americans years ago. One year, a President made a decision to sign the celebration into law. Years ago as I was going through the roller coaster of life, living and love, a quote formed in my spirit - “Life is a web of decisions”. This original quote has been a light to my path since then. At every point that I come to, I make a decision and stand by it. Decisions we make include what to study, where to live, who to befriend, who to remove from our circle of friendship, who to give gifts to and who to accept gifts from. Some gifts stop God’s hands hence decisions need to be made when friends, family or others offer us “things”. For years I declined to finance anything or use credit card in USA. One day, I made a different decision based on God’s direction. With God being a part of it, the item I purchased, which I signed to pay off in 63 months was divinely arranged to be paid off in 9-13 months! When Jesus was between life and death, He had to make a decision - choose life and continue his journey among humans who had scorned him or chose death and be supernaturally glorified? He was only 33 yet, He was faced with a life transforming decision to recant what had been ordained or say “nevertheless not my will...” He was in much agony asking for the cup of gory to pass but this was also the well of glory... When Judas was faced with a dilemma, he made a decision to chose 30 pieces of silver, this betrayal led to another decision which ended his life. Samson knew clearly what his calling forbade him from doing yet he continued to make decisions that made mercy killing the only choice. Rahab’s decision changed her destiny by grace. Esther’s adoptive father’s decision to remain forthright in spite of Esther’s new status led to deliverance for the Jews. Everyday we wake up, we are called to make decisions. Many women die before their time because they made sacrificial decisions. To ensure we had a solid foundation, MAMI invested in our education beyond what my father could afford. Whether for yourself or others, be sure the decisions you make are in line with God’s will. We will live to reap rewards not regrets in Jesus name.
