Dear teenagers, hope the previous edition of this column blessed you. Remember that the things you desire have a way of becoming your experience. So channel your desire towards great and noble things to generate energy for a wonderful future.
The word of God says in Deuteronomy 30: 19,
‘I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live: (KJV)
So if God can give you the power to make choices then who can stop you or take that power from you?
Life is a product of many choices, the gradual accumulation of your choices. So where ever or however you find yourself in future, don’t blame God or people, it’s the accumulation of your choices that take you there.  For instance, your choice to be educated, your choice of friends, your choice of life style , your choice of eating habits, etc. all these and many other choices equal your future.
Do not let people choose for you; never let society determine your choices, because if you refuse to make deliberate choices about your life, people will make it for you. That’s why you have to take your life in your hands and make deliberate choices that will give you the kind of future you desire, remember we have talked about desire in this column.
There are major areas of your life that you most make deliberate choices, they are;

1. Spirituality  you most choose to serve God and live a godly life, because you will find it rewarding later in life
2. Education you most go to school and study hard to have a good result, this will help your chance of getting a good job or in pursuit of your career later in future
3.  Moral  you most choose to stay away from immorality, it has both spiritual and healthy benefits
4. Health your choice of food and lifestyle will help you to live longer and healthy
5. Friendship you must choose good friends who have the same beliefs with you, friends that will help you to actualize your vision

Always remind yourself that God has given you the power to make choices, and the choices you make today, determine your tomorrow. So choose wisely!!
Until the next edition, make choices that are positive and godly.
