KEEP PLANING, KEEP WORKING

-

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.


I keep saying that we have the ability to create like our author, the Heavenly Father, did from the beginning:


Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.


And what makes man productive? His ability to solve problems, to create solutions to needs, create better lives and easier or convenient alternatives.


Thus don't let anyone convince you that the believer is a mediocre, NO, some of our early believers were known inventors, they made impact in the life of the people around them.


How do you earn? It is by creating solutions, whether you work for someone or you have your own business, the summary is that you are providing a service.


In our opening verses we see the book of wisdom letting us understand that we can make our plans, however the Lord is the one that sanctions it, in verse 3, he went on to explain that wisdom is commiting our plans into the hand of the Lord.


That great idea is coming to you. May the Lord grant you the wisdom, will and direction to take advantage of it. Amen


So as we go about our day to day activities, let us know that we were actually created to be relevant, not idle or lazy. All we do, we do in righteousness, wisdom and the fear of God. We are proud of our productivity and the Lord is pleased with us.


2 Thessalonians 3:10-13

Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business.

We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living.

As for the rest of you, dear brothers and sisters, never get tired of doing good.


No idling about be it in worship centres or wherever, every believer is productive, there is no excuse. (Some have made themselves prayer contractors, a cover up for not working, hmm)


We must understand that this is the way the Heavenly Father designed things, and it is actually for our good.


Day after day, we grow, for all that God created was meant to grow. In patience and obedience that we do go ahead of ourselves, everything in it's time. Glory to God.


Glory to Him who makes all things work for our good.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
