The Wisdom For Decision Making by Apostle Michael Orokpo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Wrong decisions, not the devil's power

Many people are failing in life not because the devil is powerful. They are failing because they make too many wrong decisions and they don't know why they keep making them

They will weep, they will cry and they will make the same decision again

The devil knows the error is a product of periodicity in their lives. Every three months they make a major error and go back 10 years

So the devil is no longer wasting his resources. Their mistakes are enough to guarantee their limitation

But there is a wisdom for decision making

Recap: relationship with God and the interventions of God

God is interested in having a relationship with you Revelation 3:20, 1 Corinthians 1:9

Many don't have a relationship with God although He desires it, because it has rudiments. They are requirements, protocols, prerequisites

You must come through Jesus. If you don't know Jesus it will be difficult to have an organic relationship with God in this dispensation John 14:6

You must be holy and humble Psalm 24:3 to Psalm 24:4

Pure at heart, not proud and arrogant, a man of integrity

When you meet the requirements, you have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and you live under the authority of the Holy Spirit.

That relationship is expected to engender outcomes in your life. I call them the interventions of God

It is supposed to have an existential implication. It should make you a blessing to society and to your generation

God blessed Abraham to be a blessing Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 12:3

The moment you come into relationship with God, things begin to happen to you. Relationship with God is not expected to be barren. If it is barren, it is religion, not relationship

The effect must be existential. That means tangible and provable. It should change your life positively and change those connected to you

Having relationship with God is not a disadvantage. It is a blessing, an honor, a privilege

3 platforms the blessings of that relationship run on

There are those who have not come into relationship because they don't know the precursors. And there are those in relationship who are not proving it.

The reason is that they are violating the platforms upon which the blessing runs

1. Intimacy

   As God draws to you, you too must draw to God. If God is drawing to you and you are running away, it will be available but you can't access it

   That is why we keep our hearts connected in prayer, worship and meditation, so that anything transmitted from that realm we will catch it. It is like a signal.

   If you were not there, it will pass

2. Covenant

   Covenant is the security of intimacy. The reason we can have intimacy is the covenant we are walking in

   In the old dispensation you could only come into the presence if you were the high priest.

   For God to speak to you, you had to be a prophet, a priest or a king. In this new covenant it is possible to have a personal relationship

   Salvation, righteousness, forgiveness and eternal life come by the covenant of the blood of Jesus. Intimacy can't give you forgiveness.

   Intimacy can give you inspiration to start a business and stir the anointing in you, but it cannot give you eternal life

3. Principles

   Principles are God's universal protocol for accessing things in His realm. Some things you can only have by principle. If you like, pray and fast, you can't access them

   Proverbs 12:24

   If you are not diligent you can't come into certain levels of authority in this kingdom, no matter how intimate you are with God

   Luke 16:10

   If you are not faithful in what you are doing you can't be promoted. Promotion responds to faithfulness

   Don't substitute one for the other. A man may be intimate and not faithful, and he won't be promoted.

   A man may be faithful but not intimate, and there is strategic information he can't have from God's realm

If your relationship with God does not have intimacy, covenant and the application of principles, it can never be consequential

Many are shouting the name of God but life is not responding, because they are violating the ordinances of the spirit

There is an ignorance gap that must be removed if our work with God must become effective and efficacious

Wisdom for decision making: 12 natural powers God gave man

There are many passionate and zealous believers who are thoroughly foolish.

They talk with a lot of zeal and faith but if you talk to them for 5 minutes you wonder what planet they are from

The outcomes of people's lives tell the quality of decisions they have been making. When you see a man stranded at 40, don't call Satan first. Study him. He made some crazy decisions growing up

Decisions are more powerful than you think. Spirits become powerful in your life through your cooperation in decision making

A demon's power over you is to influence you to make certain decisions. God's power over you is also to influence you to make certain decisions

We focus so much on developing the spiritual faculties and forget the natural. The natural is the host of the spiritual.

No matter how anointed you are, if your body dies the anointing is stagnant.

You can carry an anointing to raise the dead, but if you are dead you will decay

So understand and harness the natural constitutions God gave you and learn to submit them to God

There are 12 major natural constitutions God has given you.

Evaluate your life around them and see the extent of refinement you have brought yourself, so it can become an advantage for God to ride on

God wants to ride on them to fulfill His agenda, if man will refine them and yield them to the authority of the spirit and scripture

1. The power of perception and understanding

   Every man is given an ability to discern, to learn, to comprehend and to store in memory what he has learned. God will need that ability to achieve certain things in your life

   Sometimes in split seconds the Holy Ghost speaks a story from 15 years ago, connects it to a conversation from two weeks ago and a book from 5 years ago.

   He is networking all of them and it becomes a gateway through which He transmits grace into the heart of the listener

   It is your duty to task that faculty. Sit down, learn spiritual things and learn relevant things. When you are distracted, have the fortitude to say no

   Some of us have fed our perception with junk and become spiritually obese. You wake up and open this faculty to pornography and senseless uploads on the internet.

   You feed and feed until you vomit and feed again

   You have many bellies and many chambers of consumption. Your perception is one of them

   Proverbs 18:15

   Proverbs 1:5

   Don't waste your day without responsibly feeding your perceptive faculty

   Of the 27 books of the New Testament, Paul wrote 14, though he didn't walk with Jesus in the flesh. Peter did more miracles than Paul.

   John had more revelational experiences. But to build the church, God needed somebody with cognitive power to write through. Paul had developed his perceptive and understanding faculty

   Don't become religious. When you mingle with God, He opens your perception

   Ephesians 1:15 to Ephesians 1:18

   Most of Paul's prayers for the church are around wisdom, knowledge and understanding, for the mind

   Sophia is the capacity to acquire facts and rationally allocate or apply them

   Apokalupsis is unveiling into dimensions of knowledge, coming into realms of understanding

   Epignosis is experience, interaction with truth and interaction with God

   Photizo means light should be shone upon you

   When these happen, you will know why you are called. You won't be stranded about purpose and destiny

   All the riches God has allocated for you, you will absorb. Nothing that is yours will be lost anymore

   You will break into dimensions of power. The word is mega, power in geometric proportion. You will no longer struggle to bring things to pass

   Don't be irresponsible about mental development. It is not spirituality. Develop your mind first with the word of God 2 Timothy 3:15, Philippians 4:8

   God has a great destiny for us from before we were formed in the womb, but we have not developed the chambers to allow God to flow through us

   Demons don't hear English, if you say go out they will go. But you can't talk like that and address kings. If your destiny has to do with kings and nations, you will limit it

   Nothing is impossible with God, but there are structures He has put in place that you must obey so that what is possible with God can be done gloriously

2. The power of reasoning and judgment

   This is the capacity for analysis, evaluation and practical discernment. Everybody can analyze something, but the scale varies with the degree of refinement and submission to God

   Whether you will be respected, whether you have influence, whether you have honor depends on your reasoning and judgment

   Many people's lives keep diminishing because they talk without programming and without analysis. Anything that comes, they throw it out. The regard people have for them keeps dropping

   Solomon's influence grew by judgment 1 Kings 3:16 to 1 Kings 3:28

   We quote 10 scriptures in alignment to pass one message. A capacity for analysis, evaluation and judgment has been developed so the Holy Ghost can throw things and you catch them

   Some of you have not read any book this whole year. You can't sit in a conversation where your mind is taxed.

   You have been watching films for 15 years and you have ended your destiny up in a movie

   Many look good outside but can't make any contribution. They sit on the biggest platform of their lives without contributing

   Tax your mind. Undertake responsibility. Study. Read things. Put your mind to memory. There are levels of authority God can't give you if you can't

   Your decision making can impart destinies. God won't commit thousands of people to you so that you destroy them with foolish decision making

   If the Holy Ghost wants to help you, you can still analyze the Holy Ghost out of your life. We can resist the Holy Spirit with our reasoning

   Look at Peter Acts 10. Something dropped from heaven and he heard "rise, kill and eat". He said never Lord. He couldn't know it was about the Gentiles.

   Until the Holy Ghost said two people are waiting outside, follow them. When Peter came to Cornelius's house, God didn't tell him what He wanted to do.

   As Peter was talking, the Holy Ghost came down

   If God had told Peter these people are part of My plan, he would argue until the whole atmosphere died. So just follow

   That is why we encourage people to come into service and responsibility. Every time you undertake responsibility you must make decisions, and you must analyze and evaluate first.

   If you are a dominant and isolated person you will not expose yourself to be taxed, so that faculty is not developed

   It is not only the word of knowledge you should develop as a child of God

3. The power of imagination and creativity

   Imagination can shake even the heavens. At Babel they imagined to do something in their heart and God said they cannot be stopped Genesis 11.

   The only way to stop them was to divide them, so the synergy of their imagination was distorted

   Psalm 139:14

   This you that can't rise to any challenge and complains from morning till night is not that version. Some things in you are still dormant

   This power includes envisioning. The world inside you must be bigger than the world outside you Ecclesiastes 3:11

   The devil fills your inside with noise. Immoral content, bad news, panic, your needs and necessities. He amplifies them. He knows you recreate your physical world if your inside world is stable

   Your house rent is not a problem. There is a vision that can rise from within you that will solve that issue forever.

   But noise inside will stop you from beating what can change the outside

   Anything you have not seen inside, you can never demonstrate outside. The inside word precedes the outside word. It is first intrinsic before it is extrinsic

   You have the ability to envision, to innovate and to invent. God put it there. There can be no excellence if there is no capacity to envision

   Even if the Holy Ghost gives vision, we can't carry out the ideas without this capacity

   Exodus 31:1 to Exodus 31:6

   Exodus 35:35

   This is inventive capacity God gives men. It is one of the errands of the spirit of wisdom at work on our inside Proverbs 8:12

   A ministry can grow only if you develop this faculty. This is why some ministries are still in one corner

   Joshua conquered 31 kingdoms. God said to him you are old and stricken in age, the land is before you Joshua 13:1

   Pastor Chris told us the extent of your vision is the boundary of your world. If you can't develop that faculty, even the Spirit will be limited in your life

4. The power of purpose and focus

   The capacity to stay on one thing is a very powerful ability God gave man

   When Martha was troubled about many things, Jesus said one thing is needful Luke 10:38 to Luke 10:42

   In every season of your life there is that one thing that determines the outcome of every other thing.

   You have the capacity to discern it and to stay true to it. If you fail you lose that season

   Every season comes with a stem that every other branch connects to. Great men stay with that stem and develop it, and every other branch grows out

   The problem of many believers is they have not developed the capacity for focus. They are all over the place

   Somebody God is telling to read or pray in a particular season is offended that they didn't invite him to a birthday. It is a blessing you were not invited.

   The demand of the season is already educating people around you

   There is nothing wrong in celebrating with those who celebrate. But go where you are relevant. Don't beg for relevance. Give some value to yourself

   If you are not invited and not part of the work, honor them, celebrate with them, even support with money, but don't go force a relationship. My table is full.

   The whole day is already allocated

   You don't know the resistances destiny has to surmount before you make progress. That is why you are wasting your energy

   With a converging lens, you can use the rays of the sun to set something ablaze. Light can become fire if you know how to converge it.

   The problem with us is that we are all over the place

   Matthew 6:22, John 1:5

   You are not irrelevant. You are not unproductive. You are not insignificant. Forget all those feelings of depression. Take six months out of your life and focus on your destiny.

   See how your story will change

   There was a season of my life I said enough is enough. All the money that came my way I used to buy books of great ministers.

   I gathered messages in their hundreds. I entered fasting, I entered prayer. I began to study and listen

   People say we preach without a book. It is because we have stored too much. What is coming out is too quick

   Some of those who are my followers today were my colleagues. They were playing video games. I stepped back and took a season to establish my destiny. I play video games when I'm tired

   We don't know how to beat our body. Anything we feel like doing, we do. You are robbing your destiny. 1 Corinthians 9:27

   Paul brought his body under subjection because he didn't want to finish his race and become a castaway

   Who told you you are not relevant? God will not create something that will be irrelevant. Everything He created was good. If you are wasted, you labored to become a waste

   Ephesians 2:10

   The word workmanship is mastery, the masterful architectural framework of God's wisdom and intelligence

   The problem is that your energy is divergent. You are scattering energy, wisdom and resources all over the place

   90% of my time, resources and energy goes into this ministry. When you see us making speed, yes it is God's mercy, but there are operations of the spirit that make it happen

   You say God called you to academia but you are not reading and you are failing exams.

   You say God called you to media but you can't sit down and do a 5 minute podcast, and you are offended they didn't include you.

   Which result do you have to command attention?

   Find your purpose. Stay on it. Exert your energy, your mind and your resources there. You will have dominion even in the presence of your enemies. They will be angry but they can't stop you

5. The power of affection and emotional response

   You are not a robot. God created you to feel. If the activities of life are without experience, life will be tasteless

   You must decide to cultivate and train your emotions. Many have destroyed their destinies for lack of emotional intelligence or emotional discipline

   Emotion is a government. It can enslave you if you don't know how to steward it

   I have seen great global evangelists wreck global ministries because they didn't tame a dimension of their emotions. I have seen great businessmen wreck a whole business the same way

   Anger breaks some into a fit of rage. Families, businesses and ministries have been wrecked

   I used to react very aggressively when angry. I'm still intolerant and impatient towards lack of excellence

   Dr. Yonggi Cho said when he is angry he takes no decision until after about 15 minutes. When the anger comes down his head becomes clear.

   The action that looked like the best action becomes foolish

   When you are angry, you look logical. Slap this person now, he will learn something.

   Step back and when the anger comes down you wonder why you would slap the person. What looked wise 10 minutes ago looks foolish because emotional frequencies have been altered

   Some of the greatest things on earth were not destroyed by Satan. They were destroyed by lack of emotional discipline

   A study of over 70 years of pastors found only one out of every 40 who began ends well. Most started in prayer on the mountain.

   It is not how you start, it is how you finish

   The testimony of Paul is a prayer point 2 Timothy 4:7

   Not all of them failed because they sinned. Some died. Some fell into sin. Some warfare took them because they didn't build faith.

   But most times it is because we don't develop the faculties the Holy Ghost wants to use

   Master the faculties of your affection, from love to excitement to happiness to anger to sorrow

   Some people take one year to come back to life after a relative dies 1 Thessalonians 4:13

   Learn to receive solace from God and move on. Most times the relative that died leaves a responsibility that becomes yours. The way to honor their memory is to wake up and take responsibility

   Some people when they are happy can sign their will without reading it. Then on Monday they say, what paper is that?

   Ecclesiastes 10:16 to Ecclesiastes 10:17

   Leaders who eat in the morning for pleasure and not for strength, who wake up on alcohol and sleep on women make foolish decisions that take nations years backward

   Samson lost his ordination because of lust. He exposed his consecration to a harlot and they cut off the seven locks.

   A man who could kill a thousand soldiers with a jawbone, carry the gate of a city on his shoulders and set a thousand foxes on fire in one night ended up on the lap of a harlot Judges 16

   The same frequency Jesus used to walk the biggest healing ministry in human history is compassion. He was moved with compassion and power flowed. Compassion became the channel of power.

   That same gateway has destroyed many

   Matthew 22:37 to Matthew 22:39

   Train your emotions. Long prayer will regulate your emotion. Meditating on scriptures will regulate your emotion

   The biggest asset of speed is brake. If you don't have brake, you are dead

   Study your life. Which part of my temperament is affecting my destiny? Is it happiness? Set a law around it. Anytime you are happy, don't make a decision.

   Is it anger? Is it sorrow? Is it difficult to come out of sorrow? Become a student of your own spirit

6. The power of conscience

   This is moral awareness and inward conviction. There is a capacity in you to bear inward witness concerning right and wrong

   Acts 24:16

   Paul exercised his conscience to keep it void of offense toward God and man

   Train yourself to become morally upright. When your inward man convicts you, if you need to repent, repent

   This is why David became one of the greatest kings. When God convicted him he didn't say I'm a king. He poured ashes on his head and showed repentance

   The conscience of a man can be seared with a hot iron. He feels no need to repent or turn away from wrong 1 Timothy 4:2

   The School Of Prayer (how Prayers Are Answered)

   by Apostle Joshua Selman

   arrow_forward

   Some people can never say sorry. All their explanation ropes them deeper. If they only said sorry the matter would have ended

   Don't allow your pride to mask your conscience until it is dead. When you are wrong, apologize. When God shows you what is right, do it.

   If you fail, ask for grace Proverbs 24:16, Romans 5:20

   God installed that faculty so that you will be the first judge of yourself. Examine yourself, whether you are in the faith 2 Corinthians 13:5

   Step aside and look at yourself. Don't be hardened. It can destroy. That was the bane of Pharaoh

7. The power of self-control and self-government

   This is the ability to establish self discipline, to form habits, and to endure and persevere

   Discipline

   Build disciplines around your life. Myles Munroe was asked the secret of balance. He gave 3 things:

   • Prioritization: identify the things that are important and pick them out
   • Organization: structure the important things according to urgency
   • Discipline: self-imposed restrictions, forcing yourself to do what you have organized

   Some are intelligent and organize well but don't do it. They say tomorrow. There is no self-governance, and that person is hoping God will exalt him

   The anointing has its place. Impartation has its place. Prayer has its place. Principles have their place. This is a power God gave you

   Habits

   Be mindful of your thoughts, they become your words. Be mindful of your words, they become your actions. Be mindful of your actions, they become your character.

   Be mindful of your character, it becomes your destiny

   Anything you do repeatedly and periodically will define you. You have the tendency to replicate events, especially the ones you like. But you have the power to choose to or not to

   I may stumble into something I enjoy but I don't have to repeat it. I have the power to cut off.

   And there are things I don't like but I need. You can decide I don't like it but I will do it

   Illustration: the vegetables

   My wife has been on my neck to eat vegetables. I said I'm not a goat. I'm learning it is a power.

   If you choose to do it, after a while you start liking it because it becomes part of you

   Don't let anything that should not be part of your life and destiny master you. You have the power to stop it 1 Peter 4:1

   Jesus also found it difficult but He yielded to the cross. He prayed

   If you need prayer, pray. If you need discipline, get it. If you need mentoring, get it. If you need a partner in destiny, get a partner.

   If you need to enroll in a school, pay money so that going every day you are under compulsion.

   By all means master what you must master and cut off what you should cut off

   When you ask God for help and start engaging, grace will lift the burden. Don't casually surrender. Give it a fight and keep asking God for help. Grace will show up

   Bitter things make life sweet and sweet things make life bitter. Life is a fight but the ability to win is in you

   1 John 5:4

   The ability to win is in you

   Perseverance

   Man doesn't break easily unless he gives up. When people die in the hospital, they say they gave up. If you don't give up, no sickness can kill you

   Start training yourself with little things. If you have a schedule, keep it. If you exercise, do it with all your heart. If God gives you instruction, obey it

   One blessing of studying, fasting and praying for long is to build perseverance

   A monk can sit for 12 hours and keep that routine for 10 years. If he enters business you can't break his will.

   He will fail 20 times and stand up again. These are advantages of spiritual engagement that reflect in social lifestyle

   Sometimes enter your room, lock the door and stay there for 2 days meditating, off your phone. You are building something. The day an attack comes you will stand your ground

   Intervention comes but you don't determine when. In addition to intervention you need stamina so that if it comes late you will still be there.

   The five foolish virgins had no stamina. The bridegroom delayed and their oil went out Matthew 25:1 to Matthew 25:13

   I learned resistance from fasting and long prayer. I have done 21 days fast, rested 9 days and hit the next month. I fasted for years

   When you want to leave a long prayer and go outside, there is nothing happening outside. It is your weakness manifesting. Learn resistance

   Most things that happen in life take time. Some people can't wait for their breakthrough. They left and the breakthrough took place

8. The power of communication and dominion or influence

   If a child is born and doesn't talk after a certain age you know there is a problem

   Talking is not just for communication, it is an instrument of dominion. Every command, instruction and information is transmitted through talking

   We are governors over the earth and rulers over the animals because we are the only ones God gave capacity for cognitive communication

   You can start war through talking. You can end wars through talking. You can change destinies, build convictions, break addictions and cast out devils through talking

   James 3:4 to James 3:6

   The tongue is small but it can steer and navigate a man's life, and it can set a forest on fire

   Many have great ideas but have not developed the ability to communicate, and that is why they are limited

   God taught me to sit down and listen to leaders. Not only church leaders.

   I drank messages from great ministers, and I also listened to presidents of nations, activists and people who made a mark in human civilization.

   I don't subscribe to their ideology but God was teaching me dexterity in communication

   It includes the psychology of managing people's emotion while you are talking. When people are bored, you inject something funny, they laugh, they relieve and they come back into the conversation. These are skills

   Develop it. Start with your mirror and be your first audience. Give yourself a topic every week, prepare your script, sit in front of the mirror and address yourself

   When you have built a level of competence, start talking to people. Gather them. It is better to make your mistakes when you are not known

   Too much in your life will not find expression except as you develop communicative capacity

9. The power of planning and stewardship

   God didn't create you to jump into things and then in the middle say, what have I done? There is a capacity for intentioning before action

   A man who takes action without thinking and planning is either foolish or mad. Luke 14:28

   Only a foolish man ventures into a project without first counting the cost

   Illustration: the conference

   It was planned. There was a director, a chairman and sub leaders with leaders under them. The setup team finished 4 days before. Ushers, security and decor did everything.

   When it began I just walked to the green room and everything was happening on its own. That is planning

   Stewardship is the ability to manage resources, no matter how small

   They brought a budget of 300 million. I said you are joking. They sized it down. We scrutinized everything. Every bill must be justified

   Kingdom money is not money. It is faith, a sacrifice, worship. Somebody gave it as an act of faith. Every kobo is accounted for

   If you waste resources it will stop coming

   Jesus fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish and still said gather every fragment, let nothing be wasted John 6:12

   When God brings one supply you say it has happened and you waste it. Then the door shuts for 10 years. Learn to gather every fragment

   In your business, don't say the turnover this year is heavy so let's all go to Dubai. Plan. One boom in one year doesn't mean you become a rioter. You will waste your inheritance

10. The power of reproduction, growth and nurture

    Every human has the capacity to reproduce, to grow and to nurture another to grow. Don't be barren, not physically, not mentally, not spiritually

    Reproduction takes processes: insemination, gestation and travail before childbearing. Subject yourself to the cycle

    For your mind to produce something there must be insemination of information. Then go through development, the gestation. Then the season of manifestation.

    Whatever is demanded of you, pay the price. Something will break out of you

    Psalm 1:3

    I'm not praying to succeed. Succeeding is already a declaration. I'm praying for direction

    If I wanted to go into tech and build apps I would shut down for 4 months and learn day and night.

    I would rope myself to anybody good in it. Then I would take 6 months of apprenticeship to get mastery. Then I would enter the economic angle.

    Give me 2 years and you will be shocked

    You think we excel in ministry only because we are anointed? There are principles. There is a protocol

    We give birth not only in the natural but in the emotional, mental and spiritual realm as well

    When you produce something, you must grow it. Life is too short to idle away. Time is one of your currencies. Don't waste it

    If you don't know these things the work of God won't prosper in your hand. That is why many believers are not productive. God cannot commission you to take over spheres and territories for Him

    Whatever God produces in you, you can bring it out, replicate it and develop it. Don't say I wish I had the ability of this apostle. You have your own unique capacity

    Some of you are in a phase where you need to be mentored. Humble yourself. Some of you should be mentoring others. Don't be selfish

    In a season where you need to reproduce, pay the price. Where you need to grow, pay the price. Where you need to nurture, be selfless enough to do so

    Mothers, fathers and children are a testimony to reproduction, growth and nurture Ephesians 6:1 to Ephesians 6:4

11. The power for relationship and cooperation

    No matter how powerful you are, God gave you an ability of attraction so you can come into corporate existence

    There is not much you can build as an individual. Even Jesus, the Son of God, needed people

    What God put in you to attract people can be your looks, your gifts, your talents and your values. Develop them so you bring the right people into your space

    Your life becomes beautiful when you are surrounded with people of different stature, competencies and capacities. It makes you powerful

    1 Chronicles 12:22

    A man was compared to God because of those who surrounded him. This is Bible, not me

    Illustration: the team around me

    Anything that has to do with law, we have lawyers. Land, realtors. Medical knowledge, doctors. Security, generals. And spiritual giants who bring support where my faith can't carry. That is relationship

    You are not an island. Looks are the weakest attraction. It satisfies desire. That is the lowest level

    Higher levels of attraction are powered by values: character, truthfulness, humility, genuine love. And by giftings: what do you have to bring to the table?

    You look like one man but you are surrounded with the strength of many. You need it in business, ministry and politics

12. The power of choice and decision making

    All of these resonate around and are completed in making the right choices

    It involves taking initiative, reasoning logically and rationally, and executing your reasoning for a productive outcome

    Every individual has the power of choice. Deuteronomy 30:19

    God can set many things before you but He can't choose for you

    The power of choice is your responsibility and each decision has an outcome

What to do with the 12 powers

Everybody who will be relevant in God's agenda must first recognize them, then refine them, then submit them to God's authority

If you do, you increase the scope of what God can do with you. The goal is not just your own benefit. It is that you are relevant in God's agenda

Let's not magnify Satan. We have both God and blessings from God that can make the existence of Satan irrelevant

You are not ordinary. There are too many installations of God in you, in your natural component and in your spiritual component
