HOW TO MAKE QUALITY DECISION Pt.8

Years back, a lady told me about how her boy friend abuse her physically. In my endurance rating, I don't have any tolerance for such nonsense so I told her to quit that relationship since they were not married. To me, I felt that was enough warning sign from God not to go ahead but I was shocked at her response. She said, "I think he loves me that's why he beats me." I have never seen that kind of gullibility before in my life. Now, this is a church sister whom I expected a greater level of understanding from. Thank God that relationship didn't end in marriage. Another church woman who had a terrible marriage saw the signs of sexual immorality in her husband before marriage. During their courtship, her husband harrased a married woman sexually. She confirmed it to be true but went ahead with the wedding after the man pleaded. In their marriage, the man became sexually immoral without shame and rubbed it on his wife's face. Today, she's a premature widow because of the man's reckless living. I often tell singles, a play boy has the potential to be a "play man" and sugar daddy in marriage. Singles, don't marry a public limited company brother/ sister, someday, shareholders will come for their dividend.

In God's goodness, He will always give a warning sign about a bad decision we're about to make. We only need to be sensitive to pick those warning signals. Often, we are victims of our insensitivity to the warning signals God is showing us. We see it but we don't know it is a warning sign. Sometimes, we know it is a warning from God but in our spirituality, we believe prayer can change anything. A vibrant evangelist was warned severally about the wife he wanted to marry. He said, "I will use prayer to push back evil". Today, he's six feet in the ground and his wife has married an " Alhaji". You can't be wiser than God. When God sends you a warning sign and even makes you see it clearly, detach your emotions quickly. Blessed are those who walk away from danger for their life and destiny shall be preserved.

Proverbs 16:25 says, "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Don't attempt to use prayer to change what you're meant to walk away from, you're not an exception to the rule. Sometimes, what we call deception is simply a product of our indiscretion and failure to check the warning signs. God never leaves any of His children in the dark about crucial life's decisions. As from today, pause and wait for warning signs, God may be drawing your attention to something you've ignored. If your fiancé is abusing you in courtship and acting against the word, you don't need a prophet to prophesy that you quit. To whom brain is given, sense is expected. The moment you see signs that are against your bible based core values, that may be a warning sign from God.
