The Mistake of Many Believers
Let me start by helping you understand the mistake you are making. It is only after you understand your mistake that you will appreciate the solution.
Many believers usually pray before making major decisions, but very few understand how to align their decisions with the will of God.
Because of their lack of understanding, they end up making wrong decisions despite having prayed before making the decisions.
When things go wrong, the believers are left confused, not knowing why God did not warn them that their decisions were bad.
In the end, many of them languish in trouble and get very angry at God.
This is not something I want for you. That’s why I’m here sharing this life-changing revelation with you.
Pay attention and save yourself from future trouble.
Solution Context
Let’s begin with three important scriptures that will help you understand the revelation I’m about to share with you.
First scripture: Genesis 37:26-27.
So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened.
Second scripture: Ruth 1:16-17.
But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me.”
Last scripture: John 11:49-51.
And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
These three scriptures highlight key elements of making godly decisions. They are the foundation of the revelation I’m going to share with you next.
The Revelation
In the first scripture we read, Judah and his brothers decided to sell Joseph to Egypt instead of killing him. While the decision saved Joseph from death, it sent him into slavery.
This brings me to the first point: if the fundamental reason for making a decision is good, even if the decision is not perfect, God will honor the decision maker.
In the second scripture, Ruth decided to follow Naomi wherever she would go, and have Naomi’s people and God as her own.
This brings me to the second important point about making godly decisions; regardless of who you are, as long as there is room for your decision to benefit God, He will make it successful.
I hope everything is clear up to that point.
In the last scripture, Caiaphas suggested that it would be better for one man to die for the nation than to have the whole nation perish. Unknown to him, he prophesied about Jesus dying for the nation of Israel.
This brings me to the last point about making godly decisions; even if you make a rash decision, if you are positioned rightly with God, it will work out for God’s glory.
“Augustine, these are good decision-making principles, but how do I implement them in my life?”
I hear you! That’s what I’m going to address next…
Practical Implementation
When you want to make a godly decision, start by ensuring that your decision will work for the good of others and not just you. In simple terms, ‘love your neighbor as yourself’.
Secondly, make sure there is a clear benefit for God in your decision. If God has something to lose if you make a wrong decision, He will make sure you don’t make a wrong decision.
Last but not least, have confidence in your right standing with God. I assure you, God will not sit and watch you make wrong decisions if you are faithful to Him.
God bless you!
