Change is not often the easiest
thing; even when we desire the needed change, it takes a lot to actually allow
change fully when there is no apparent compelling factor. If we must see the
change in our lives that God ordained for us in this new season, then we must
allow change in our minds. Change that does not start from our minds, would be
flitting, lasting only for a while before one falls back. The sad thing about
falling back to one's old ways, is that one then unwittingly downgrades one's
self from the better place God has brought them to. Any change initiated by God
is always to improve us for a higher level of operation and comes with
benefits. No matter how hard we pray, if we don't allow these God initiated
changes, we would most likely not see the results that we desire when we pray
and even when we do, they would not be permanent
Joshua 24: 15a "But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve."
Allowing change in our lives starts with a decision which we have to make ourselves. No one, one even God can make the decision for us. God lets us know, through the Holy Spirit, that we need to make changes to accommodate the new things about to happen in our lives but He won't make the decisions for us to allow or disallow the change. That becomes our responsibility and one we must take seriously. A lot of us would rather leave our decision making to God so that if anything goes wrong, we take no responsibility for it. Some people would just never go forward because they are "waiting one God" when God has already done all that Is required of Him. Unfortunately for everyone of us that would rather not think or prefer to pass on the buck, God has always left us with that final right to make decisions. He lets us know what is right for us to do but we make the final decision. If God will not compel man to serve Him, why do we think He would force anyone to make any decision. We even have the right to choose a contrary path though God would always do His very best to provide all the help we need to make the right decisions
Galatians 6: 7 "Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant."
I do not think God judges us for making the wrong decisions but we would have to leave with the consequences of those wrong decisions. We set things in motion in the spiritual when we make decisions though the Almighty God has the final say and can step in at anytime to help us with the consequences of bad decisions and this He does in any way He deems fit which said way never negates His very character and His names reveal His character. One thing we enjoy as believers is the fact that if at anytime we repent from making bad decisions and turn around and begin to make the right ones, God is always willing help us by empowering us to make the right decisions continually as well as ensure that we enjoy the benefits of the new decision so that with God, it is never too late to make the right decisions.
Galatians 6: 9 "So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up."
Making the right decisions don't often seem to produce the desired result but it will only be a while, the results will surely manifest. Also, there is the tendency to always fall back to making wrong decisions even after we decided not to, but we must guard against it with all our might. We must not take for granted the grace that enables us make the right decisions and see it through. We have to carefully watch our decision making of we must become who God has ordained for us to be. No matter how little we may think the decisions we have to make are, we must check that it does not contradict in the true sense what God has said He will do in our lives. These decisions are much more powerful than a lot of us think.
