Wisdom For The Day Devotional 15 July 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Are A Product Of Your Choices
TOPIC: You Are A Product Of Your Choices (TREM Devotional 15 July 2022)
“Today, I have given you the choice between life and death; between blessing and curses. Now I call 0n heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live”. Deuteronomy 30:19 (NLT)
MESSAGE:
The decisions you make will determine the actions you take. This is very important and very critical. Sometimes people wonder how they got to where they are. Think of the decisions you made. You got there as a result of your previous decisions. Every decision you take, either gravitates you to life or to death.
God says I have set before you, life and death. And the beautiful thing is that God told us what to choose, so we are not in doubt. God’s word encourages you to choose life so that you and your seed may live. The destiny of your seed is involved in the choices you make. So choose wisely. Choose life!
What choices are you making? What are the things that influence you? What do you feed your mind on? If there was any time your mind needed to be fed with the incorruptible, the errorless, the impregnable, and the authoritative word of God, it is now. The word of God has no margin for failure. The book of Isaiah 55:11 declares: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11).
This is the time to feed on the word of God. Read and study the scriptures. Find your picture in it. Know what God has said concerning you and not what man said. As you feed yourself on the word, it will affect your thought pattern; your feeling, and your decisions. Not only that, it will also affect your actions. When those actions become a regular thing; they will form your habit because what you do consistently over a period becomes your habit. There will be an opportunity to expose yourself to bitterness, but you must make up your mind to expose yourself only to the word of God.
