The power of decision

Introduction

While the common proverb states, “Man proposes, God disposes,” a philosophical reading that gives full weight to free will reverses the perspective: God proposes, and Man, through his freedom of choice, disposes. This is also the position of Dr Raoul Wafo, as we will see in the summary of his message entitled: “The Power of Decision.”

Decision : a major spiritual lever

If we truly understood the impact of decision on a person’s destiny, we would approach our choices with far greater care.

For contrary to what many believe: “It is decision that establishes who you become, not God.”

Even choosing to follow God is itself a decision.

God has given humanity this fundamental capacity: free will.

The power of decision is therefore one of the most powerful spiritual levers God has placed in human hands—capable of propelling a destiny into unexpected realms.

Every decision made on earth inevitably produces consequences:

• either honorable,

• or destructive.

Success in life is the result of good decisions, just as failure often stems from poor decisions.

“Every destination you reach in life is the result of a decision.”

Scripture makes this clear:

“I have set before you life and death… therefore choose life.”

— Deuteronomy 30:19

Decision, then, is what allows us to experience either life or death.

Decision as a spiritual bridge

In this message, decision is presented as a bridge—more precisely, as seven essential spiritual bridges.

1. Decision: the bridge between promise and fulfillment

John 11:40 — Believing is a decision.

God’s promises exist, but they are not fulfilled without a decision of faith.

2. The bridge between vision and manifestation

Habakkuk 2:3

Waiting is also a decision, because one can just as easily decide not to wait.

“A resolute person is someone who knows how to wait.”

Some decisions must become true resolutions, integrated into our spiritual DNA.

3. The bridge between revelation and action

After receiving revelation, one question remains: What concrete decisions have you made?

James 1:22

“Revelation without action becomes mere information.”

4. The bridge between faith and manifestation

“Without decision, your faith will remain passive.”

“If you want to change seasons, you must first change your decisions.”

5. The bridge between the old season and the new season

Entering a new season requires spiritual updates.

Isaiah 43:18–19

Sometimes, we must deliberately decide not to dwell on past events.

Certain experiences leave such deep marks that moving forward requires an inner battle—and sometimes deliverance.

How many people remain bound by past failures?

“Even the sea would not have opened if the people had not decided to move forward.”

6. The bridge between captivity and freedom

“Freedom comes through decision.”

Publicly declaring your decisions—especially through testimony—is also a way to weaken the enemy.

“If you are ashamed of your past, it means it is still present.”

7. The bridge between lack and abundance

Moving from lack to abundance is a difficult but possible journey.

Such decisions require courage, perseverance, and faith.

The importance of information and the danger of indecision

To make a good decision, one essential condition must be met: having the right information.

Indecision is a spiritual trap:

“Indecision is the decision of cowards.”

James 1:8

1 Kings 18:21

Excitement may motivate, but it is never a substitute for decision.

Three keys before making an important decision

1. Do not make decisions while angry

2. Ensure your decision is grounded in the Word of God

3. Have a destiny partner

Submit your decision to your spiritual authority and listen carefully, because at times one may believe God has spoken—when He has not

Conclusion

God proposes, but Man disposes.

And it is within this power of decision that a significant part of our destiny is shaped—so that God may be glorified in every area of our lives.
