Learning How To Protect Your Good Decisions

Verse Of The Day , “28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

Protecting What You Pray For

          As I was getting ready today a word dropped in my spirit about protecting your decision making. See when you make the right decision, you should know that it is indeed coming from God. However, there are people who may try to conspire against you to try and make it seem like your decision is a lie and it is not , and that is something that I learned the hard way in 2023.

          In 1 Kings 22, the prophet has said that King Ahab was going to die and that prophecy was indeed true. God had already determined that King Ahab was going to die. However, there were 400 people (lying false prophets) that had prophesied success for King Ahab even though they were wrong. Now 400 people had conspired against Prophet Micaiah and tried to make it seem like his prophecy was wrong, so much so that they even arrested him and put him in jail.

“28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

But Micaiah Was Right

          But it did come to pass and it was proven so that Micaiah was right, and all the other 400 people were indeed wrong. King Ahab did die just like Prophet Micaiah said.

          When I read 1 Kings 22 , God began to speak to me that you have to understand some people will lie on you because you are making the right decision, and in the end those who are like Ahab are still going to die. So no matter what they do, you will still come out on top. You will be the head and not the tail. You will be above and not beneath. You have to protect yourself , from the attacks that come from people who are jealous that you are making the right decision. Because the first thing someone will do when they are jealous of your decision is lie and try to have you put into prison, but the God that you serve will not allow that according  Isaiah 54:17.

          I pray that God will show you through reading The Holy Bible, how to guard your good decisions from the devourer (Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 4:23). You have to keep people away from you, who are jealous of your good decisions and who will conspire against you because you are making GOOD decisions.

          Your good choices matter before God, and it is showing that he can trust you with choices and paths. In life you should desire to be responsible and be professional. God has a good thing prepared for your life, but he needs you to gain wisdom in protecting your choices and protecting your decisions.

“The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight”. – Proverbs 9:10 Amplified Bible
