Change Your Choices, Change Your Life

Do you want a better life? Want more money in your pocket? Want a new career or new relationships? The answer is simple. Just change the choices you make every day.

Learn about the seven choices which determine your destiny in life, your happiness and your lifestyle.

Make the right choices and you are on a pathway to success in life; make wrong choices and you’re headed for sin and death.

Choice # 1: Choose Your Thoughts & Beliefs
What you think about yourself is more important than what other people think about you. What you believe is possible is more powerful than what others believe. What you think about God will either draw you closer to Him or push you away.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. – Mark 9:23

And be not conformed to this world; but by ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.. Romans 12:2

Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23

Choice # 2: Choose Your Relationships
We can choose our friends, neighbors and co-workers. We can choose who will date or marry. We can choose how much time we spend or don’t spend with other people and with the Lord. We can choose whether we want deep or superficial interactions. Don’t just drift into relationships; make a conscious choice!

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall propser. Psalm 1: 1-3

Jesus said: Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any many hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me…..
Rev 3:20

Choice # 3: Choose Your Job or Ministry
You have unique gifts and talents that can positively impact individuals, families, your church, co-workers and even nations. But, a lasting impact will not happen without choosing to fully explore your potential and commit to pursuing it with excellence.

And he (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

Choice #4: Choose to Master Your Money
If you believe money is a scarce resource that is too precious to tithe or donate, you have made a dangerous choice to rob God. Choosing to master your money according to God’s plan frees you from bad spending habits, shortage and famine.

Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Haggai 1: 6

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33, 34

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10

Choice # 5: Choose to Set Goals
Aim to accomplish small tasks and then move on to handle successively larger goals. You can set goals for any area of your life – spiritual, health & fitness, financial, family, career, exercise, etc. Goals are both a source of motivation and reward.

For I (Jesus) came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. John 17:4

Choice # 6: Choose to Forgive Others, Then Go Forward
People who have rejected or hurt you should be left in the past. Lack of forgiveness chains your oppressor to your wrist. Let them go. Cut them loose. Also, remember to ask God to forgive you; don’t harbor shame, guilt and condemnation.

And when you stand praying forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25, 26

Choice # 7: Choose to Make Jesus Christ the Lord of Your Life
… I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

For God so loved the word, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16, 17)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)
