Plan For It I

“Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit” 3Jn.1:2

To be successful in security, you must understand that victory and defeat are always possible. God’s Word tells us that we are seated with Jesus in heavenly places but because of that we think defeat is not possible. Defeat is possible on this earth if you take things for granted. It is my prayer that you will not be defeated, in Jesus Name. Always know that victory is possible and so is defeat.

Bernard Baruch says, “When business is good, people believe that it will always be good. When business is poor, people believe that it will always be poor. Neither is correct.” Plan for the best and plan for the worst. Many people plan for the best and wish the worst away. They do not want to confront the possibility of things going bad. They dismiss the thoughts very quickly but that is not how God wants us to respond. God wants us to be pragmatic and think.

Things may be going on well now and heaven rejoices to see that. But God still wants you to plan for when things will not go so smoothly. And if things are not going smoothly now, God is saying do not worry this will expire soon. But you need to plan for when things will begin to change and go well. Why? Many people have been destroyed by sudden breakthroughs because they were not ready for that kind of sudden promotion. So they fell prey to the thought of acquiring new things and marrying new wives and they began to behave like rascals. Why? Because they did not plan for the best. God wants us to plan for the best and plan for the worst.

“Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit” 3 John 1:2. This scripture highlights three key areas God wants us to do well in. Firstly, you need to get it into your mind that God wants you to prosper. Sometimes that is the shift that needs to happen. A lot of people are not sure that God wants them to prosper. I know how that feels because I used to struggle with that feeling. Guess what I did? I put it to death mentally. I got all the books and messages I could get and soaked them in until I stopped thinking like that. God wants you to prosper and you must embrace it.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, the grace and wisdom to plan for the good, confront and plan for the bad I ask for, in Jesus Name.
