MAKING DECISIONS AS A CHRISTIAN

By

How do I know when I am making the right decision? Prov 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path”
There are people who are of the opinion that when they feel good about a decision, it’s the right one. Feeling good about a decision has nothing to do with it being right or wrong. You can make a good decision and feel bad about it and you can make a bad decision and feel good about it. So it’s got nothing to do with how you feel.
What you need is the knowledge of God’s Word and a good relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you give yourself to the Word of God and yield to the prompting of the Spirit of God, you’d always be guided in every situation to make decision that are consistent with God’s will and purpose for you. And if it requires that you talk to someone, you can discuss with your Pastor, because pastoral guidance could be of help in certain situations. Apart from that, there are times when fellow Christians can confirm certain decision without us necessarily telling them about the situation. From our daily interactions and discussions from the scriptures, the Spirit of God speaks through them. That’s why it’s important that you keep company with people who love the Lord just like you. With them, you will always be in that safe place where the Spirit of God will continually minister to you……….

Correction and criticism seems to be alike when we use them to express our opinions towards people, but a deep study revealed that they're not the same.

Correction -  is a change that makes something more accurate than it was before. It's a change that rectifies an error. Key words are change, makes accurate. Synonyms are improvement, amendment..etc.       DIFFERENCES - Criticism reveals the fault or mistake while Correction reveals the improvements from the fault or mistake. - When you receive Corrrection, it will point to a better outcome. Criticism will only show you t...

...YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY...        "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Rom10:10  Our opening verse says ".....with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.." The word confession in the new testament is derived from the Greek word "homologia" meaning to speak the same thing in agreement with another. This means that you should agree with, and say what the Word of God says about you or your situation. Just like God said in the beginning "let there be light" and light appeared, so has He given you the ability to speak, to create things (bring those into being). Don't damage your destiny with your mouth but declare the Word to your world. Never talk failure. ............God bless you all...
