Decisions and Seeds

Many times people wonder about how their life is going to turn out and what is going to be the summation or outcome of their Destiny. This is a very interesting thought that every human being ought to take very seriously. However, the unfolding of one's Destiny and the outcome of life is not as mysterious as one would think. For the most part, all things considered, you can map out your destiny by two primary things: your Decisions and Seeds.

The cumulative effect of one's life can be summed up succinctly, based upon the various Decisions that we make and the Seeds that have been planted in our lives and the Seeds that we choose to plant in and with our lives. Of course there are always extenuating circumstances for which we generally are not prepared for (a sudden accident, death of a loved one, losing a job, etc.). But even with the various fortuitous events that are sometimes thrust upon us, the Decisions we make and the Seeds that we plant in response to those things still end up shaping our Destiny.

I want to urge everyone to take great care in regards to the Decisions that you make during this Time. Regardless of what people may say and in spite of how things may feel, this is not a time to be careless, reckless or indifferent when it comes to the Choices that we make in and for our lives right now. Even things that on the surface may seem "inconsequential", take the time to "think" and truly ponder, is this a Wise Decision to make at this time? Once again, I'm not just talking about "major decisions", I'm talking about what we would consider "everyday" decisions. Are these the right people to be hanging out with right now? Is this a good relationship and friendship to be developing? Do I need to take this promotion? Should I be getting involved in this Ministry? The Decisions that we make shape and form our Destiny.

Then saints, we need to look at the Seeds that we plant. The scripture says very clearly, Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6). We need to very careful and prayerful about the Seeds that we plant. We need to examine the Seeds we're planting with our Families. Are we honoring our parents? Are we honoring our spouse? Are we covering and training our children? We need to examine the Seeds we're sowing Financially. Are we paying our tithes? Are we giving sacrificially? Are we supporting the poor? And lastly, we need to examine the Seeds we're sowing unto the Lord. Are we giving Him the Praise and Worship that He deserves? Are we being obedient to His Will, even the things that are not personally convenient and at times even hurt? Are we treating others the way we want to be treated? If we examine these various areas, we will find that at the end of the day, our Destiny and our Future is determined by our Decisions and Seeds.
