It’s one thing to make a decision, it’s another thing to commit heart and soul to the implications of those decisions. For example, I can decide to get married, but have I truly committed heart and soul to serve and sacrifice for my wife’s dreams. There are degrees of decisiveness. It is difficult to become successful in something you are not willing to fully commit to. Reflect on your life and think of the most important decisions you have made. Were they made for you? Were you forced to make these decisions or were they an act of your will? I believe God is in the business of restoring the will and He wants to show us that we are powerful and can decide. To whom have you abdicated certain decisions in your life? I remember asking my former VC at varsity where he thought I should study a specific postgraduate course. He responded by asking me what I wanted to do. I was surprised as I thought he would just tell me. It’s important for us to understand the benefits of decisiveness and how central it is to Godly leadership. The ability to make wise decisions and timeously align others in the same direction is one of the most important leadership capabilities. Jesus’ ministry was embedded in this.
