LEARN TO KNOW AGAINST WRONG DECISION

The Bible records, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. ” (Romans 15:4)
When there is no learning in the written word of God there will be a lack of knowledge. The lack of knowledge is also the identity of those who KNOW ABOUT but, not KNOW the written word of God.
Jesus demonstrated the reason for all man to know the word of God.
Just like Jesus, it is a must to learn, to know the word of God for decoration and declaring the word of God as stated in Matthew 4:3-4, “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
Are you learning the word of God to become decorated by the word of God and be living life declaring against any WRONG DECISIONS concerning your life?
A decision is a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.
Making a right or wrong decision will prompt consequence in the journey of life.
In the journey of your life, a decision that was made on your behalf yesterday or decision which you made for yourself will affect or determine where you are today and where you will be tomorrow.
Today, many are living in a position (painful position) which is the consequence of a decision made by grandparents or parents.
Also, many are living in a position which is the consequence of a self-decision.
Is it a right or wrong decision that is the consequence of your position in life today?
Every position of life that is rooted in the wrong decision of yesterday or today must be addressed prayerfully to reverse the pain of wrong decision of yesterday, today or future.
Among wrong decisions in the Bible with pain consequence are written for our learning:
Jephthah made a decision, making a vow that took the life of her only child.
Judges 11:30-31 records, “And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, and said, “If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands, 31 then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.” What kind of decision have you made to affect your children today or to affect your children’s tomorrow? Jephthah’s vow was the decision for his only child to become the burnt offering before God.
Apostle Paul made a decision to affect his life.
Apostle Paul was warned by the Holy Spirit not to go to Jerusalem. It was his decision that made him go against the Holy Spirit. Bible records: “…They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.” (Acts 21:4) “And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’” (Acts 21:10-11) Apostle Paul was repeatedly warned not to go to Jerusalem but, his decision drove him to Jerusalem, which set him for his death.
In the journey of life, decision making by self or on behalf of one is possible to deliver kinds of pain that can deny, derail or destroy one’s journey of life.
Also, making right or wrong decision as a result of unexpected situation will prompt painful decision to derail, deny or destroy any journey of life.
It was an unexpected situation that prompted the Israelites’ decision to move to Egypt. At Egypt, the Israelites became the slave for over four hundred years. While in slavery, God’s intervention answered for the calling of the Israelites’ deliverance, by His stretch Hand.
Bible records: “So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that, he will let you go.” (Exodus 3:20)
“And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”” (Exodus 7:5)
It was the stretch hand of God that brought the Israelites out of the decision rooted in challenging which brought them into Egypt where they lived the life of bondage for over four hundred years.
Know and believe that God is the only God that reverses irreversible.
God answered the crying out of prayer of the Israelites that prompted God’s stretch out hand which delivered the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred years.
Prophesy to your new month as the month of STRETCH OUT HAND OF God.
Prayerfully ask before God that before the end of this new month, you shall come out of every decision that is holding you down not to live life for the glory of God, in Jesus name.
