Beloved, the wrong
decision of today can close a destiny forever. So, avoid wrong decisions and
guide your heart from negative suggestions that can influence your decisions.
SCRIPTURE: And Jacob
said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point
to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? Genesis 25:31-32.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
People make choices, and choices make people.
Previously, we looked
at discovery as one of the keys that facilitate the fulfilment of destiny. And
today, we are looking at decision as another key. Decision is very critical to
the fulfilment of destiny. People make choices then choices make people. That
is to say, people make choices, and the choices they make either make or mar
them in return. It is not possible to be made without a choice.
It was through a
decision that Jacob negotiated and got the birth right from Esau, his brother
and he (Jacob) ended up as the carrier of the Abrahamic Blessing. Jacob was the
second born, so what ought to have been in the line-up of the covenant
patriarchs is: the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau. But Jacob examined the
situation of his birth, he saw that the Abrahamic blessing is very great; he
saw how massive his father Isaac was by virtue of the blessing. So, Jacob began
to think: does it mean that this mighty river of blessing flowing through this
family is meant to bypass me? Does it mean that I was only born into this
family for fancy? With all these thoughts in mind, he began to strategize until
he found a solution. He discovered that his brother Esau loved temporary things
above permanent matters and that he also preferred food above the future.
So, Jacob
strategically planned to collect the birth right from Esau. And Esau, who did
not value the birth right entered into a transaction that displaced him from
the book of eternal covenant with the Almighty God; he made a regrettable
decision. The position of birth is the most difficult thing to change but Jacob
changed it by choice (Genesis 25:29-34).
Beloved, the wrong
decision of today can close a destiny forever. So, avoid wrong decisions and
guard your heart from negative suggestions that can influence your decisions.
REMEMBER THIS: People
make choices, and choices make people.
