MEMORY VERSE: “Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.” – Job 34:4 (KJV)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 13:8-13 (King James Version)
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Simply put, choice is the act of picking between two or more possibilities. The power of choice is the strong will to make a decision in the midst of several options. While it is generally opined that man is a choice being, Scriptures clearly establish that God has given man the power to choose (Josh.24:15). However, we live with the consequences of the choices we make whether good or bad. The onus, therefore, lies on us to make the right choices which in turn determine the course of our lives.
TEXT REVIEW: Genesis 13:8-13.
This Scripture recorded Abram’s choice (decision) not to allow strife over land to destroy the cordial relationship he had with his nephew – Lot. He approached Lot in an attempt to find a possible solution to end the strife that was gradually gaining momentum between them and their herdsmen.

1. COMMON CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES
A. There are several choices we make in life with their attendant consequences. For instance:
i. The choices we make about food and exercise influence our physical health (Prov.25:16).
ii. The choices we make about our academic pursuits often affect our careers and occupations.
iii. The choices we make in reaction to life’s adversities affect our psychological well-being (Prov.24:10).
B. Other major choices we make in life include:
i. The choice of where to live/settle may determine the peace or discomfort, blessings or troubles we will have (Gen.13:8-11; 19:13; 26:1-2, 12-13);
ii. The choice of who we marry will determine the bliss we enjoy or the blows we endure (Prov.18:22; 31:28; Prov.21:19; 1Kgs.11:4).
iii. The choice of the friends we keep will determine how far we go and the quality of life we live (Prov.13:20; 18:24; 2Sam. 13:5; 10-14, 28-29).
iv. The choice we make to be different will determine whether or not we will stand out from the crowd (Dan.1:8, 19; Heb.11:24-26).
v. The choice we make whether to serve God or not will determine the eternal reward we will get (Josh.24:15; Rev.22:11-12).

2. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CHOICES
A. Many factors influence the choices we make in life.
i. Right Knowledge: We need to crave the right knowledge in order to be well informed (Prov.18:15).
ii. Self-control: It will help guide our choices and prevent us from making irrational decisions (Jam.1:19; 1 Sam. 25:10).
iii. Planning and Vision: We must make good plans and be guided by a good vision before we make a choice (Ruth 3:1-4; Prov.16:3, 9).
iv. Prayer: More importantly, prayers will enable us to key into the mind of God (1Sam.30:7-8; Ps.37:5, 23).
v. Correct Mind Frame: We must strive to always have the correct mind frame all the time (Prov.4:23).
B. Conversely, pride, hypocrisy, doubt and negative thoughts among others, will hinder us from making the right choices (Prov.11:2; Ps.10:4; Isa.32:6; Jam.1:8).
Many factors influence the choices we make in life. We need to crave for the right knowledge in order to be well informed (Prov.18:15). Self-control will help guide our choices and prevent us from making irrational decisions (Jam.1:19; 1Sam. 25:10). We must make good plans and be guided by a good vision before we make a choice (Ruth 3:1-4; Prov.16:3, 9). More importantly, prayers will enable us to key into the mind of God (1Sam.30:7-8; Ps.37:5, 23).
