WE CAN MAKE PLANS

-

Proverbs 16:1,3

We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.


We can definitely make plans, the wisdom is to commit them into the hands of the Lord. Selah


I always try to explain to those who ask about the Heavenly Father's creation of man, that the man God created was not a robot or a stereotype but a model of Himself, if He is the Prototype.


Listen:


Genesis 1:27

So God created human beings in His own image. 

In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.


So what God can do, man was to be able to do on earth. God created, man could create, God planned man could plan. Man's problem came when he sold himself out by disobedience. (Just one thing you had to keep away from, just one thing . . .). The same today, you are tempted only of that thing you are to keep away from. It is a temptation because you were not meant to have it. Selah


So when you see people think, develop things, ideas etc, it is the way God made man.


So man lost eternity, he chose death when he would have had life.


Genesis 2:9

The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground—trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.


Many try to blame God for placing the tree where man could reach out for it. We are not going into that now, however I remember that I used an analogy for some who sought to understand. (Every house has an electric power source, it is needed for good purposes, if a person goes ahead to penetrate the socket to see how the wires operate and get electrocuted, . . . )


So we have the ability and are free to plan. However as children of God, wisdom is to commit our plans to the Heavenly Father, so that He will not only help us, but since He sees what we cannot see, He can make adjustments to our plans.


Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.


Do we see it, "seek His will in all you do" . . .  I repeat . . . "Seek His will in all you do". Selah


So man is not just a mediocre or a lazy creature, no, He was well designed by the Heavenly Father. It is sin and death that contaminated man and that is what the Heavenly Father came to repair or change in Christ Jesus.


For when man sinned he gave the enemy access to him, thus the power of sin and death. Christ came to destroy this bondage:


1 John 3:8

But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.


So go ahead with those good plans, there is nothing wrong in them. Let the Lord take control.


For the believer, He gave us His Spirit thus we are empowered to even do greater things. The joy is we furthermore have a reward with Him in eternity. Halleluyah. For all our spiritual work here has heavenly rewards. Glory to God.


As we go through this new month the Lord has renewed our hearts given us wisdom and grace to excel in all we do. 


Listen, for He still speaks to direct and also tell you what to do for Him. In listening you also know when to move, stop or take a turn.


We are blessed, we are favoured, we will succeed. Go in this might.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
