“We are our choices”
-
J.P. Sartre
One of the underlying
principles that govern the world is choice. Every man on earth is daily
presented with choices. Without fail, we all make choices. And our choices -
more than anything else - have the power to affect the outcome of our lives. We
are all products of our choices.
Whatever anyone becomes in life, is the resultant
effect of choices they made. We all must be careful of what decisions we are
making today. We must make choices today, in the light of our tomorrow.
A man in Ilorin,
Nigeria who wants to get to Lagos will not choose the Ilorin-Offa road. That
road takes him farther away from his desired destination. Are you making
choices today that will take you to, or away from your destiny? Our choices
have the power to make or mar us. Life always offers us alternatives, and we
must always choose. Even in not making a choice, we choose.
There was once a man
who was gifted with so much supernatural power. He was a fearless man, a one
man army, a deliverer of his people. By his strength and force, he could defeat
a nation, a people. He made a choice to be ravished by the love of foreign
women (strange women and ungodly women). That was the beginning of his end.
Samson’s death came by the hands and tricks of Delilah. Now you may call it
love…but the discerning call it choice.
Never make decisions
without considering your purpose and the future. Let all your decisions be guided
by the power of foresight. Your life is genuinely yours and you don’t have a
spare. Value it and guard yourself with all diligence.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that
both thou and thy seed may live”
- Deuteronomy 30:19
Be sure to make
informed choices; those who don’t, end up being deformed in life.
