 What’s the Plan (Jeremiah 29:11)

Many people quote the scripture I know the plan that I have for you says of the lord. I know the thoughts that I think concerning you say the lord, thoughts of good and not of evil to bless you and prosper and to bring you to an expected end, but what’s the plan. Jeremiah said this to the children of Israel when they were being carried off to captivity and Babylon and they were going to be there 70 years but God still had a plan, their idolatry and disobedience did not cancel the plan of God and no decision that we have made in our lives or ever will make in our lives will cancel God’s plan. We can’t cancel Christmas, God’s   plan is going to happen, the abortion and the miscarriage has not canceled God’s plan, the divorce and the separation has not canceled God’s plan. Yes the loss of a job, the loss of a house none of those things can cancel God’s plan. We don’t  always dotted every i, crossed every t, highlighted everything that needs to be highlighted, underlined and italicized everything that need to be done yet God still has a plan. What’s the plan?

The plan is repentance. Repentance is   a change of mind or a change of heart that result in a change of action. The plan is for us to repent, for us to change, for us to do a 180, for us to learn the lesson from the consequences of our actions, for us to get the blessings, to repent to change.

Once we repent there’s reconciliation. The bible says God was in Christ reconciling the world back unto himself. God is in our experiences bringing us  back. God never left us, we got out of place and so the plan is that after we repent, reconciliation  and right relationship will also bring us back. 

What’s the plan? Restoration that God is bringing us back to the promise.  God is  bringing us back to optimal health, harmonious relationships and overflowing wealth.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
