Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others Philippians 2:4, ESV
God honours the choices that you make. In Genesis, God brought all the animals and every creature to Adam giving him the choice to give names to all of them because God honours the choice of man (Genesis 2:19). Also, the blind Bartimaeus heard about Jesus and he was crying, ‘Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy upon me’, but he needed to make a choice. Bartimaeus was crying for mercy. Jesus said, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ Meaning what is your choice? Make a choice and then I will respect it. We also have the story of the woman with the issue of blood. She had been in that condition for about 12 years until one day she made her choice for her situation to change. She decided that she must touch the helm of the garment of Jesus. She said, ‘If only I may but touch the helm of His garment, I know I shall be made whole’. What is your choice today? Do you want your family situation to change? Do you want a change in your marriage, career or in any other area of your life? The power of choice has been given to you.
Even the devil respects your choice and he cannot reject the choices you make. For instance, when you gave your life to Jesus Christ; that is, the day you got born-again, you automatically made your choice. You made a choice and the devil couldn’t say, ‘No! You can’t go yet’. He was watching you. Now you are washed in the blood, and become a child of the Almighty God; the same way, when you make any choice today as regarding any area of your life, the devil cannot resist your choice. Make that choice now.
Prayer: Dear Father, I open my heart to perceive information that influences right choices. Help me to decide for a glorious future by my daily choices in Jesus’ Name.
