The Power of wise Decision Making – Review

Memory Verse: … “Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you – Psalm 37:5 (NLT).

Text: Ephesians 5:10-20

Spiritual Emphasis: Life is about decision making and these decisions are driven by choices, motivations, needs, fear, satisfaction, desires and faith.  Time is a gift from God, and none of us know how much of it we are allotted. Only God knows how much time each of us has on this earth to make decisions that will impact eternity. Use your time wisely. Depend on the Holy Spirit, our helper to always make wise decision that will always please God. We will now review some of the lessons we have learnt these past  three weeks on the power of wise decision making.

Conclusion:

We only have one life on earth. At the end can we say without any reservation, retreat or regrets, I have fulfilled my calling, the plans and dreams God has for me? (2 Tim. 4:7-8). Brethren, let us get busy for the Lord. Whatever gift or talent you have, begin to use it for the Lord. It is in so doing, that we will all enjoy God’s blessings and favor in Jesus’ name Amen.
