Our current society can create and place such emphasis on things that do not take credence and precedence in the purpose and destiny for our lives.
What God has in store for you, the future that is rightfully yours is worth contending for, pursuing and consistently pushing to fulfil.
How do you navigate a season that does not currently reflect the promises that God has told you?
How do you remain optimistic in a season that has not yet given birth to all the dreams that are on the inside and has not yet manifested due to situations that are beyond your control.
Engage in PURPOSE- FUL WAR!
PLANNING- God knows the future, but he always has a plan. When Satan thought he had stolen the show and the curtains would close with him being the star of the production. Then, comes Jesus, with the ultimate plan that required no backup. What can we deduce from this? Plan with a plan B and C. Of course, our plans will not be as full proof as God's, but he is the example, the one to strive to emulate and become more like. Have a plan for your future, pray over it and give it to God.
A plan is necessary because on those days when you don't feel like going to work, remember this too shall pass and one day you will not have to work so hard for someone else! A plan puts things in perspective and creates a system by which you hold yourself accountable to accomplish what you need to live a lifestyle that is your birthright and depicts the royalty and kingly status that is yours as you are an heir to a kingdom where the streets are paved with gold. Plan to excel. Plan to succeed and then.....
PROCEED.
Whereas, the planning is the preparative process. The Proceeding process are the procedures or steps you will take to make your plan a reality.
When God realized that his standard of purity, obedience and expectations were too high under The Law, he thought:
" There will not be much people left on this Earth to appreciate its beauty as their flesh constantly brings them to ruin and to trespass against me. I must think of a plan and let my word become flesh so a new era comes into manifestation and my people can one day live a life no longer under my law but under my grace and mercy."
The process of showcasing that Jesus was The Messiah and that he was the son of God made " a plan transform into a process'. Steps were taken to fulfil an objective. Jesus performed miracles, healed many, preached evangelized and taught thousands.
The active steps and sacrifices you take is a process that must be stuck to. Keep your eyes on where you are going and not where you are! Plan, stick to the process and then....
EXECUTE!
When Jesus was crucified on the cross, it was the end and yet a beautiful, stunning, beginning.
Death of self will lead to an execution that will catapult you into success! Jesus' death was only the beginning. Now we have salvation! The 'process' will yield a person ready to handle success and carry a vision that will make him/her a legendary visionnaire extraordinaire and pioneer amongst even whom the world considers to be the greatest.
If you don't prepare now, you will fail to be prepared to handle success and rather than ascend, you descend.
Let's groom ourselves for our God ordained future because I don't know about you, but my present is building up to a future that will be SPECTACULAR in Jesus' Name!
