MAKING GOD DECISIONS!

 I.      YOU LEAD BY TWO PRINCIPLES

         A.     BY COMMAND – SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

          B.    BY DECISIONS – FAITH / WORKS

II.     PEOPLE WILL FULLY FOLLOW BECAUSE YOU –

        A.     GIVE GOOD ADVICE, COUNSEL

        B.      GIVE GOOD DIRECTION

         C.      MAKE GOOD DECISIONS

         D.      MODEL HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

         E.       HAVE ANSWERS

III.  YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS DETERMINES AND REFLECTS YOUR       

      ABILITY TO COMMAND OR LEAD.

IV.  THE LIFE STORY OF A PERSON IS THE STORY OF THE DECISIONS THEY    

       HAVE MADE, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.

          A.     YOUR CURRENT LIFE SITUATION IS LARGELY THE RESULT OF THE    

                   CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ALL THE DECISIONS YOU HAVE MADE    

                   BOTH  GOOD AND BAD.

         B.   ALTHOUGH SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL… WE ARE IN

               CONTROL OF HOW WE RESPOND… OUR RESPONSE IS A DECISION   

               WE MAKE, WHICH REVEALS OUR TRUE SPIRITUAL MATURITY AND

               AFFECTS OUR FUTURE.

V.  NO DECISION AT ALL, IS A POWERFUL DECISION.

VI. PROBLEMS ARE JUST DECISIONS WAITING TO BE MADE.

VII. GOD ANOINTS DECISIONS THAT GLORIFY HIM.

VIII. A WISE PROCESS WE CAN USE TO MAKE DECISIONS.

WE NEED TO EXAMINE THIS PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN GAIN UNDERSTANDING AND SKILL IN MAKING DECISIONS.

THE MORE YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THE EASIER IT IS TO CONSISTENTLY BE ON TARGET. IT ALSO GIVES US COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE AGAINST DOUBTS AND ATTACKS WHEN ALL WE CAN DO IS STAND

        A.      UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES WELL!

        B.      DON’T ANSWER QUICKLY.

        C.      DISCERN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DECISION, WHAT IS THE IMPACT    

                 OF THIS DECISION 20 YEARS FROM NOW.

                   INFORMATION.

         E.       GET WISE COUNSEL.

         F.       HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF PRAYER-FULLNESS.

         G.      SOME DECISIONS CALL FOR FASTING AND PRAYER.

        H.      LISTEN FOR THE VOICE OF GOD AND THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT.
