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.

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
