Good morning Brothers and Sisters....TODAY IS FRIDAY DECEMBER 2018 DAY 28 of ODM devotional booklet for the Champions.
Topic: THE TOY STORE
(1 SAMUEL 13:8-14; PROVERBS 3:5-6).
A young boy walked into a toy store with his dad and was amazed by the decorated toys available! The OFFER RANGE! Was much! “What should I choose?” he asked himself. He needed to make a quick decision because his father was late to work! “Come on son, we don’t have all day”, his dad said. The boy kept saying: “I love these ones! Oh no! Wait, I want those ones.” He just walked along the aisles, picking up toys and dropping them. He just couldn’t make up his mind!
“Quick son, make up your mind, we have to go”, he hurrying dad said. Like a lost ram, ran around the store, looked so good and he couldn’t make a decision! Eventually, the dad held his son by the hand and they walked out of the store empty handed. Yes, EMPTY HANDED! The young boy had tears in his eyes! He wanted them all, but ended up with nothing because he couldn’t choose just one! But do you know that, that is the story of millions of souls on this planet earth?
The world is that like that toy store. We have lots of DAILY CHOICES available to us! If we couldn’t make CRUCIAL decisions about our career, education, relationships, investments, ministry, church or other important issues, we end up empty-handed. Hear Keri Russel wrote: “Sometimes It’s the smallest decision that can change your life forever”.
As 2018 ends, look down from as high as possible to make a great decisions. Look ahead as far as you can see. The decide what to do. A wise man makes his own decision, an ignorant man follows public opinion! Decision is a sharp knife that cuts clean and straight; indecision a dull one that hacks, tears and leaves ragged edges behind it.
NEVER MAKE HASTY DECISIONS IN PANIC! Because you feel you must HELP GOD! That was the error of King SAUL ( 1 Sam. 13:8-14)! As 2018 ends, always remember that HURRY LEADS TO SORRY! To make quality and wise decisions, you must always learn to take them to God in prayers. ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Hear His voice and act! Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it, the go to work!
Then it is also important to understand what options are available. If possible, consulting with your Pastor or other trusted voices can make the difference between a harmful decision and a helpful one.
I decree: You will not end 2018 in tears and regrets! May you not make a decision that will turn your name to SHAME Amen!
PRAYER POINTS: Take any worship song to God.
1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you led.
2. I shall not make HASTY DECISIONS AGAIN! I cancel every satanic arrow targeting my decision making process!
3. I reject the arrow of REGRETS and “HAD-I-KNOW!” Father, help me in my decision making as 2018 ends and 2019 begins!
4. I bind the spirit of error and mistake in Jesus name.
5. Pray about the last 3 days of this year!
