THE TRANSACTIONS OF LIFE

The world is like a market where transactions are made (Galatians 6:8). Life is a platform for exchange. To take in oxygen, a person must give out carbon dioxide.
Similarly, every single action we take in life attracts a corresponding outcome as exchange. This outcome may be a loss or a gain, in time or eternity. There is nothing like something for nothing. So, life is transactional in nature.
In Genesis 38:1-7, Judah went in unto a Canaanite woman, a tribe of people that God told his parents never to mingle with. Judah experienced calamity along the line by his lack of principles.
Beloved, the way you live determines the way you end in life and eternity. If there is no law or principle guiding a person’s life, the accident of destiny is inevitable.
If a person forges signature and uses a false certificate to get a job, it is sure that he would have problems in that job because foundation determines destination. The harvest of deception is disaster.
My counsel is, at every point in your life, ensure that what you give is equal to what you get in every transaction. Ensure that you are not losing more than you are gaining, like Esau who made a disastrous transaction.
(WHAT WE SHOULD DO):
1. Always think about the eternal consequence of every action before embarking on it.
2. Study the scripture daily and follow scriptural principles.
3. Refuse to be the victim of societal influence.
PRAYER: Lord, I surrender all to You. Help me to walk according to Your precepts, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The Lord engrace you to live according to the right principles in Jesus’ Name.
