Power Of Choices

Our story begins right from the moment of our Birth. We live, we learn, we make friends, we make families, then we die. Even in death, our story and presence still leaves a mark in this world. Life is a cycle and when one story ends, another begins. As we make our story, we make choices, either right or wrong, our choices leads to the next chapter in our lives. Sometimes I wonder if we are truly in control of our actions. Are we always destined to do something? or is it really up to us to make the choices.

Making choices is a delicate issue, choices determines what happens next, and how your story continues. It is the choices we make that shapes the outcome of the next event in our lives. Before making a choice, you got to weigh in the pros and cons of the outcome because any decision you make stays with you. Friends, Family and loved ones also plays a part in influencing your decision but at the end of the day, the choice always fall on you. It is always up to you to decide what choices you want to make. Getting a job and working for yourself is a step in the right direction, it is your choice to go out there and find a job irrespective of whether you would get it or not. If you wouldn't have cared or wanted the job, you wouldn't have searched and gotten it. The same can be said for a student who worked hard and prepared for an examination and eventually passed the exam, if he hadn't prepared for the exam, probability of him passing is quite small, as said earlier it was his choice to prepare for the exam and at the end he was successful.

We are all surrounded with the probabilities of events happening, and the likelihood of the outcome of an event rest upon what you choose to decide. Our choices matters greatly in life because it defines what we would become. Attitude is a choice, Happiness is a choice, Optimism is a choice, Kindness is a choice, Giving is a choice, Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make, makes you. Choose wisely. And so we pray that we ask God to guide and give us the wisdom to choose wisely.

Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

Indeed making the right choices matters greatly in life because it defines what we would become and whatever choice you make, makes you.

Making the right choices is essential for Christians, however God must be our total inspiration when we are making these choices.
This an amazing sermon, thank you

As ridiculous as that sounds, some of us go through life letting others make our choices for us. But from the time God created the first human beings, Adam and Eve, he gave mankind the power of choice. We call it free will.
Surprisingly, a large number of singles don't want to make their own choices. They're afraid of choosing the wrong thing. They want someone else to decide for them.

But when you do that, you're not only limiting what you can receive, you're putting yourself in the position of a child, who's not responsible enough yet to make their own decisions.

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it. When you have tough times, and when you learn you can't be perfect in every situation, it's hard to accept, you know, because I still do expect that. But you just have to, because, you know, it's not about the situation. It's how you deal with it. You always have a choice.
There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.

Choice is eternal, we choose weather to live or die, making the right choice is always difficult and it's important but as a Christian we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us ...

Whatever choice you make, makes you. Choose wisely. And so we pray that we ask God to guide and give us the wisdom to choose wisely.

Everything in life is choice, bt with God you make better choices.
