The choices you make in life are embodiment of our integrity, prestige, honor, humanitarian care and development etc. But that does not deprive us the right to ownership to those choices we made, even in the face of oppositions, why? Because every choice you make in life is under your custody to control, manipulate and execute to an end. Now, who is the Custodian of the choices? You that had made the choice have every right to protect it. Even God himself gives man free will to make their own choices, deploying the Holy Bible as a case study to this article, according to GENESIS 12:1 God instructed Abraham that he should go out of His Kindred and relations to a land that He is sending Him; though, it was not his choice but He had to obey the voice of God to the divine instruction which came because of a specific assignment. When he departs, his Nephew Lot by name joins him to travel; but that was not God’s original plan that Lot should join him. God’s original plan was that Abraham should depart alone. Now, the consequence is that on their way to the destined land. Abraham’s herdsmen began to have hassles with Lot’s herdsmen as well as other frictions that made God to tell Abraham that He should separate from Lot His Nephew. And that instruction; though was very difficult to Abraham to make, but because it was divine, Abraham took a bold step to separate from Lot (GENESIS 13:5). So, Abraham asked Lot to separate from him by showing him two ways direction to a strange land and asking him to choose from the two road directions which are right direction and left direction route to destination. So Lot raised His eyes to make His choice and saw that the whole district of Jordan was well-watered region like garden of Eden of God (Eden) as well as like the land of Egypt. So lot chose for himself the whole of district of Jordan and Lot moves his camp to the east. So they separated from each other. Abraham moves towards Canaan while Lot finally settles near Sodom. Now, the question remains: “Did he who chose the beautiful destination bears the consequences alone? Yes he did. Now, what was his experience like? His experience was that the men of Sodom were wicked and gross sinners against God. And when God wanted to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness; he delivered Lot because of His covenant with his brother Abraham. So, learn today that one is liable to the choices he/she makes in life and destiny. And that is why you don’t decide for others or another person close you or follow one to his destination because doing that make you an obstacle or stumbling block to them. It is only those that does not have plan for the future; that will decide for others and execute for them the dream. What you can seek is assistant to execute and don’t tolerate permission to execute.
Abraham, on the other hand, became
successful immediately Lot separated from him as a brother. What happened? (GENESIS 1314) God said to Abram after Lot had separated from him “Raise your eyes and look from the place
where you are, to the north and south, east and west because all the land that
you see, I will give to you and your offspring as a lasting possession. And I
will make your offspring like the dust particles of the earth, then your offspring
could not be counted. Based on this fact, your choice destination in life is
the major material that determines your destiny. You destiny is not in the hand
of men and women, your destiny is in your own hands. The decisions you make to
step out of your comfort zone to a desired destination can create a big
difference.
Now, we have arrived to a point
that destiny is all about choices we have made, what choices have you made early this year by prayers to move ahead in
life? are you still in charge or in control of them ? or have they slipped out
of your hands? Your choices to move ahead in life is the major element that
controls how you do things’ it is a measure that controls how you work hard,
when you wake up and sleep, the type of clothing you put on, the places you go
for business, people you associate with etc. So, carefully look at those
choices again and see if you are still on track or worth amendment. If not, be
ready to become the custodian of those choices you made at the end of the day. Then,
with prayers and hard work coupled with focus on divine direction, your dreams
will come through. Long lives Ministry of humanitarian affairs, Long lives
