When we take a close look at history we will discover that momentous events are shaped by decisions made by various players which produces destiny events. Take for example the story of Thomas Edison who is credited with the discovery of the light bulbs that we all take for granted today. His decision to continue to perfect his work until the final piece despite failures changed the course of history impacting on the destiny of everyone.

Your decisions sums your destiny

Your decisions determine your destiny and life is a series of choices, in fact truth is where you are today is a result of choices you have made in the past, even if you are not aware of these choices, you still made them anyway. No grey areas at all.

Every day we make decisions that move us closer to our God ordained destiny or away from it!

God has a wonderful life planned already for you and it is good.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

But because God has all these plans for you does not mean it would come to pass if you don’t make the decision at each point of your life that will move you towards it. It like you trying to catch a flight, if you don’t leave your home on time and go to the airport, you will miss the flight.

Change into His plan

You cannot afford to sit still and put God’s plan for your life on hold. You see God never changes but His plan for your life is ever changing and dynamic to bring you into that future that He has planned for you. So that is why you have to be constantly changing with the insight God brings to you through the wisdom in His word and that will require your everyday decision to follow his plan.

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23 NIV

Yes, it might be difficult sometimes to make the right decisions to follow His plan in the midst of challenges we are facing but it pays to follow God and we will have to make that decision every day if we are going top fulfill our destiny.

Remember, life is a series of choices and your decisions determine your destiny.

Have you ever been in the dark and someone came along and switches the light on? I believe you know the feeling of being unable to see in the darkness one second and then the next second you can see. What a relief it is to those who were in the dark. That is the way the bible describes the effect of the word of God in our lives.

The light that dispels the darkness. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130.

When Light comes darkness has to go

God has promised us in His word that He will shine His light on our path and we will not be in darkness. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105.
That means we have the advantage to see through the eyepiece of God. we can see clearly through the darkness of ignorance and misinformation that pervades our societies today. If someone has a defective vision for example short-sightedness when the person receives a prescribed lens appropriate for him he will be able to see clearly instead of the blurred vision he had initially. The lens of God is the word of God. The word of God enables us to see clearly the light of God. Believers have the greatest advantage on earth because of the light of the word of God. The word of God contains the mind and the will of God and all of God is available to us as we receive the light that His word brings and walk in it.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John1:5. That explains it all; there is no darkness at all in God. The bible tells us that Jesus is the light of the world and He is the word of God, so for us to receive God’s light we have to receive Jesus as our Lord and saviour, but not only that we have to accept all that he has done for us as a result of His death and sacrifice in our place.

A wise man would chase the light

However, you need to realise that the light is available to you potentially; you have to make the choice to go to the light. How? By making sure that you find out what God has said in His word already about any subject, your situation and your ideas and commit to fit your life to the word instead of explaining it away through your experience or experience of others! You do that by meditating on the word of God daily and then act on it. We walk in darkness when we don’t do that but what a glorious light we have when we walk in the light of His word. A wise man would chase the light that God brings in all situations.
Meditating on the word of God gives light on the word and develops your capacity for faith because when the word is revealed unto you. It gives a new meaning and an understanding that eventually produces faith in you. When you receive the revelation of God’s word into your heart, it shows you where to go; it tells you what to do. A lot of times believers are looking for what God is saying but they need to look into the word of God to know what He is saying!

Let the word drives out darkness

You need to know what the word is saying, you need to delve into the word and let the word gives you light and enlighten your path. There is no other way around it. It is your responsibility to pick His word and let it drive away all ideas you have that are contrary to His word. I guarantee you the more you fellowship with His word, the more you will see clearly. The word of God shine light unto our path, the word of God gives us wisdom and understanding.
