“I
call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before
you life and death, blessings and cursing: therefore choose life, that both
thou and thy seed may live:” (Deuteronomy
30:19).
When God created man, he gave him
the power to choose between good and evil, between life and death. Where you are today is partly as a result of
the decisions you made yesterday? Most times, Godly choices do not
look good because God is not out to impress you. God does not need your
approval to do anything? You must understand that there is no Assistant God
anywhere. He has no competitor. He is God all by Himself. God does not need your approval before He
does anything, which is why most times when God is presenting something to you,
it may not look too good initially, but it is perfectly right.
After man sinned
against God because of the choice he made, the life expectancy of man began to
reduce from 600 to 500, eventually to 300 and finally in Genesis chapter six,
the Bible recorded the number of years man will live, by extension, God
had pegged the years of man to one
hundred and twenty years. God was trying
to tell man and the devil that He has the final say.
Another important fact in that verse is that
God wants you to know that one hundred and twenty years is the approved number
of years man is supposed to live on earth.
What I am telling you is the reality of God’s word. His word abideth
forever. The scripture cannot be broken.
If God said man should live for one hundred and twenty years, it implies
that every cell, tissue, organ, and system is meant to function well till that
time. He made provision for it. Who told
you that you are going to die? The fact
that someone else died of that particular sickness troubling you does not mean
that you will also die by it. Change your mind-set and agree with God’s word
concerning your life.
Prayer: I believe the word of God
concerning my life and I decree that the words
that the Lord has spoken concerning my life, job, destiny, finance, marriage
and family will come to pass. I receive my portion in Jesus name.

Words
of Wisdom: The word of God speaks better things in your life more than what you
ever imagine.
