Luke 14:28-30. Prov 6:6-8, Prov 17:14
Luke 14:28-30. Prov 6:6-8, Prov 17:14It was a direct statement
that came from the month of our Lord Jesus Christ in (Luke 14:28-30) that
anyone that want to build a tower that did not undertake proper planning, that
people shall muck him and saying, this man began to build and was not able to
finish.
Great revelation from the
lord is in a moment but to actualize it take a very long range planning. Many
failed woefully in life not because of the demonic manipulation or attack alone
but majorly due to lack of planning. Whenever preparation meet opportunity
success is inevitable.
i. What is planning?
ii. Ingredients of planning
iii. Benefits of planning
1. What is planning?
Planning- is the process of
thinking about the activities required to achieve a desired goal. It is first
and foremost activities or roles to achieve desired result.
No wonder God created legit
first and he created man last.
I am of opinion that both
prayers and planning play a vital roles for the achievement of your dream. i.e.
prayer does not replace planning and planning cannot replace praying.
Biblical examples of a good planner:
Noah was given a plan for
the ark – Exodus 6:14-16
Solomon had a plan for the
tabernacle – exodus 36-40.
God even had detailed plan
regarding offerings from people (Leviticus 1-9) why? to avoid disorderliness.
Did you have any plan in order to actualize your dream in life?
Warning: it’s never a sin to
plan with God in view

By ingredients I mean all
the factors, elements that must involved to facilitate successful plan:

place will determine your success in the public place.
