Location & Decisions

The topography of your location can impact your decisions positively or negatively. If you are in a cave, your decisions are likely to be limited in its impact to within the cave. Also, if you take a decision in the valley, you are likely to limit the scope of our decision by the things you can see in the valley. However, destiny related decisions should not be made when you are at an all time low. The best place to make a decision is on the mountain top. It signifies the place of spiritual strength. Jesus some took his disciples to the mount of transfiguration to impart their destiny.

Mark 9:2 NKJV "And after six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them".

Some decisions we make based on where we are at; wearied, discouraged, tired, frustrated, spent, angry or hungry, broke are bound to be error prone. Elijah requested his ministry to be terminated as a result of where he was; tired, frustrated. He came off mount Carmel and was "under" a juniper tree. God expects us to be on the mountain top where eagles soar. There is no doubt about the fact that we will experience "low", God's expectation is that our low, insignificant moments will afford us the opportunity to gather strength, regroup and relaunch unto higher heights.


The mountain provides a great view, it is a position of advantage and it is meant to be a lasting one because the mountains have been for generations. We are able to focus on God when we are on the mountain. Getting to the mountain requires effort, it tasks your physical strength but once you are there, you are refreshed and you access clean air. All of these have deeper meaning when you sit to meditate on the word of God.

Before you resign because of the differences between you and your boss, before you leave your church because of your Pastor or his wife or HOD, before you relocate because you are broke or finally before you leave your home because of interpersonal differences, gather strength from God. He is the strength of the helpless and the enabler of the disadvantaged. When you get to the mountain top the view will be different but you may never get the chance to undo your mistake at that point.

God has promised not to leave you nor forsake you. Do not allow your location to negatively affect your destiny defining decision. Come up Exodus 24:12 "Then the Lord said to Moses; come up to me on the mountain and be there". So for the tired, wearied, disadvantaged, discouraged, God wants you to come aside unto Him to seek his face and obtain mercy? The mountain affords you the opportunity to hang out with God.

Blessings
Wishing you a great week ahead.
