MATURITY IN CHOICE

source

The bible tells of Isaac when he grew up! Now, the father was no more; the mother was CO more. He began to take decisions for himself. Other people were checking out of the country, but God told him, "stay here. " And the bible says, God blessed him. "And the man Isaac became great. He waxed strong; he moved forward. I like the order in which the bible puts that. He was great. He did not stop at that. He waxed strong; He moved forward, until he became very great! Everything that God has His hands on grows. It is the will of God. If His hand is upon your business, if His hand is upon your life, if His hand is upon your Ministry, if the hand of God is upon your marriage, if His hand is upon your family, it grows.

Moses, when he came to years, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. The bible says, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season.

There is always a task in choosing. T choose well needs maturity; you need to exercise the sense of your value system. Joshua spoke to Israel, he said choose ye this day whom you will serve! You always have choices to make. Everyone always has a choice to make. You choose where to go; you choose the kind of clothes to wear; you decide when to leave home; you chose to go where you are going. You make choices daily. Whether the choice is a wise one or not, whether the choice is a matured one or not, is another thing. Coming to years demands making matured choices; it demands looking at life through the mirror of God. When God spoke to Solomon, to say whatever he wanted, he said, "choose, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Solomon chose WISDOM. He had the right value system.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let us look at our own lives as a Church; some of you may not be what the world expects you to be. The people outside there may not understand why you should be in a place like this. They don't know because there is nothing crying from within them. When Moses came to years; he took some decisions; he stood up from inside; when he came to years, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh 's daughter. He chose to suffer! "If my people are dirty, let me be with them; I want to be where God wants me to be. I'ld rather be with my people than be in the house of gold." He left. And the bible says the reason was that he esteemed Christ greater riches. What you esteem appreciates in value. If you esteem your salvation, the value grows. If a man esteems his wife, she appreciates in value more than dowry, more than anything else. If you appreciate your wife, you can't say "e don born, born taya, you don't fit my present status." If you appreciate her, the older the years the greater your love for her; whatever you esteem appreciates in value. I call upon you, today, children of God, begin to take your stand as children of the Living God.
