IT’S A MATTER OF CHOICE
By Pastor Ayo-Simeon Agbelusi
Your life’s journey was predetermined by God before your birth. He created all things with inherent goodness and subsequently entrusted you with the capacity for choice. All other experiences in and around your life on earth are the consequence of your decisions and choices. If you scrutinize your life, you will come to realize that you are a direct product of your choices. Your decision is the sole reason you cannot attribute the outcome of your destiny to anyone else. This power of choice permeates every aspect of human destiny, including marriage, career, and ministry.
2 Timothy 2:21 NLT
If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
Whether you become a gold pot or a mud pot is not the Master’s decision; it is yours. Both are available. You can be a vessel of honor as a matter of choice. In the hands of the Lord, you will select the type of vessel you wish to become. Those who have chosen to purify themselves from sin and iniquity will emerge as vessels of honor, while the rest will be relegated to ignoble uses. You have sufficient grounds to justify striving for excellence and making notable improvements, assuming you decide to act in accordance with guidelines. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you promptly embark on taking necessary steps to circumvent unfavorable outcomes.
Action Point: I am determined to be an instrument for God’s glorious purpose. My commitment is unwavering, and I am now disassociating myself from everything and everyone that would hinder me from fulfilling my commitment to God’s glory.
