SEPTEMBER 2024 PARTNER LETTER
Make the Right Decision

Dear Partners,
I pray that this month’s partner letter will encourage you. As I began to think about some of the prayer request I’ve received. An overwhelming number of those request were centered around important decisions they need to make. Believers and unbelievers alike are stressed and, even fearful because of the looming decisions concerning their health, their finances, and our upcoming elections. Beloved, in 1 John 4:18b ''we are reminded that fear involves torment.''

As a joint heir with Christ, God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV). Our adversary is working overtime to disrupt God’s plan and it is important for you and me, to be sober minded. We should not be indecisive when making a decision. James 1:8 tells us “a double minded man is unstable in all his ways”.

Beloved, don’t allow fear to paralyze your ability to make the right decision Job 22:28 tells us that “what we decide will be done, and light will shine on our ways”. The Spirit of God will reveal God’s will when you are faced with important decisions. You will always make the right decision when you follow the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths”.

Somebody, somewhere is facing an important decision today. Most believers may assume that I’m talking about our upcoming Presidential Election. While it is important, it is not as important, as the decision to walk according to God’s word. It’s not as important as choosing to be led by the Holy Spirit. Beloved, don’t be anxious about the decisions you are faced with, because in Psalm 32:8 God says “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”

Beloved, It is very comforting when you know, that all of God’s instructions are right. You will always make the right choice by casting all of your cares upon Him. God has designed a great plan for your life, and He has thoughts of a peaceful and prosperous life for you. There is no decision that you will ever be faced with that He hasn’t already solved. You will always make the right decision when you wait on the Lord’s wisdom and His instructions.

Beloved, the importance of making the right decision is paramount to our successes or our failures in life. If you look back over your life, you can see the results of those decisions. I want to share with you a few decisions you should make as a believer.

1. Set your mind on things above. Colossian 3:2
2. Humble yourself and God will honor you. Proverbs 22:4
3. Call upon God when you’re indecisive. Psalm 86:5-7
4. Use your words wisely, they have consequences. Proverbs 18:20-21
5. Decide to follow God’s instructions. Deuteronomy 26:17

I know the challenges of making decisions during times of uncertainty and I want to remind you, you are not alone, you have a Helper, the Holy Spirit.

Marcia and I are believing for your success and prosperity.

Bless you,
Pastor Howard
