God's plan ...

Praise be the Lord ...

That wonderful plan God has already designed for your life and mine contains the very best of Purpose, Adventure, Fulfillment, Joy, and new lessons.

We can trust someone who loves us perfectly…perfect love drives out all fear” 1 John 4:18.

“Then trust the Lord completely, don’t even trust yourself.  In everything you do, put God first and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.”  Proverbs 3:5 (LB)

 

Many people are not experiencing God's will for their lives.

Why... ?

A. Focus on materialistic things: A failure to yield our possessions   …if there is something of our own which we can’t give away,   we don’t own it, it owns us!

Matthew 25:21…If God doesn’t get your attention on the ‘one-talent’ propositions in life, you’ll never get a chance at the ten talent ones!  Our sinful nature…”All we, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6)   The ‘self-made man’ usually worships his creator…self!

B. Lack of knowledge: About how to find God’s will, There are many tests and formulas. Some valid...some misleading...and some dangerous.

God wants us to know HIS will for our lives; HIS will for our lives is not designed as a complicated mystery or puzzle which we have to decipher.  He is a God of love.

Psalm 25:14…”The Lord Confides In those who Reverence Him.  HE makes HIS covenant known to them.”
John 7:17  “Anyone who chooses to do God’s will, shall know it.”

>> How can we know God’s will for our lives?  Three conditions:
1. Are we willing to do God’s will BEFORE we know what it is?
2. Are we,  right now, clean? …cleansed according to 1 John 1:9 (Spiritual Breathing).  We cannot expect to know God’s will if we are knowingly harboring un-confessed sin.
3. Are we surrendered …focused on Christ?  (Filled with the Holy Spirit…according to Ephesians 5:18)?

GOOD NEWS, If Christ is on the throne of our life  right now…we are in the center of God’s will for our life…because God’s will... is a relationship.  When we stay in that relationship, the problems which we feel, works themselves out in many natural and supernatural ways!

C. Why are we here:

Firstly; Our calling to be with Jesus ...

Secondly; we are appointed as Ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20.  The Great Commission to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) should be a continuous measurement of the use of our time, talent and treasure.  Never lose sight of your primary calling.  II Timothy 4:5…But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist “discharge all the duties of your of your ministry.”

D. Change:  From time to time God will bring us to an ‘intersection’ in our life when an imminent change is obvious…He is about to open a new ‘chapter’ in our life and the calling of following Jesus ...
All we have to do is to be open always towards our Lord's voice and also open to change. HE will always do good for us with this belief, as HE has promised and HIS words are true for forever ...

Let's be sensitive to HIS voice, so we hear HIM and do HIS will ...

Father, we thank you today for all and for everything you have blessed us all with ... It's your good will my Lord that we are blessed today. Bless us, O Lord, that we can become a blessing for some else also and get them closer to You ...

We make this prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ ...

Amen ...
