YOUR DECISION AND YOUR DESTINY – DEU 30:19

PASTOR AYO MOSES OLORUNLEKE

INTRODUCTION

1. The formula for getting nothing is simple and straight forward: just simply do nothing. If what you do is nothing then don’t expect something. Doing nothing disqualifies you from getting something. Those who do nothing are not expected to have anything.

2. Great destinies are the products of great decisions

- Destiny is a product of destiny, your destiny is anchor on your decision: Nobody ends anywhere in life by accident; Where you are now is a product of your decision

- You can’t fulfill your destiny without your decision

- You can’t reach your destination without your participation

- Today’s actions are the foundation for tomorrow’s outcome
- The decisions and actions of yesterday determined your position today
-Your decisions and actions of today are determining your outcome tomorrow
-No one is anywhere by chance; choices determine outcome

- Nobody ends any where in life by accident

- Where you are now is a product of your decision

- What future are you deciding for yourself tomorrow?
