Topic: Follow God’s Plan For Your Life
For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC).
It’s important that you reflect on your life and be sure you’re walking in sync with the Spirit and following God’s plan for your life. If you give Him your attention, He’ll guide you aright always. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “…He’ll guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). Trust Him with your life, and He’ll lead and guide you in God’s perfect will for you.
When you’re walking in God’s plan, everything you require—within the ambits of His will for you—will be supplied at the right time. At every milestone in your journey, whatever you need will be in place, because you’re on the path that God planned for you. Struggling would become unnecessary, because you’re on course and piloted by the Spirit.
Some people pursue ambitions that have no connection with the purpose of God for their lives. They’re not yielded to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God doesn’t want you doing something simply because others are doing it; seek and follow His guidance. Yield yourself to the Word. His Word is the true light.
The Psalmist said in Psalm 16:11, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life…”; how? Through the Word! His Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105). Through His Word, He leads you in the paths of success, victory, and boundless joy—those paths He already pre-arranged for you. Your life shouldn’t be a labyrinth of circumstantial events; you’re not a child of chance. God prepared for you before you came, which means predestination is at work in you.
Never allow the fleeting pleasures of self-centred ambitions sway you. Don’t be perturbed by any unfavourable condition in which you may find yourself. Choose rather to follow and remain in God’s plan for your life, by serving Him wholeheartedly and living in His Word, and He’ll guide you to fulfil your destiny in Him.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, through your Word and fellowship with the Spirit, you guide me to fulfil your destiny for me, bringing glory to your Name. I’m divinely helped of the Spirit, to make decisions and take actions which are in sync with your divine purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 1:11-12 AMPC; In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will,(12) So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!
Romans 8:29-30; For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.(30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

SERVICE NOTES
I win all the time.
I win last week, I win this week, I win every week.
God has given us the victory.
Say ‘I am a Victor’.
Confessions:
I am not ashamed of the gospel. Because it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.
I am stirred in the inside with an intense passion and unreserved commitment and an unparalleled devotion to the gospel.
I am determined more than ever to reach the unreached with the gospel.
I have the guidance of the Holy Spirit to proclaim God’s wisdom and impact many with His righteousness and blessings of the gospel.
My heart and mouth are filled with words. Words of power even now to cause changes in my world and in the regions beyond.
My passion for lost souls is stirred with renewed commitment.
And I declare that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ blazes intensely in the heart of the ignorant and unconverted all around the world today.
As I go about doing the will of the Father today, I bring deliverance to every creature in my world.
I bring deliverance to every creature in my world.
Taking them out of bondage and corruption into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God. I give life to the things around me.
I give life to the things around me through the power of the Word.
I give life to everything around me through the power of my words.
For these are the days of the manifestation of the Saints of God.
These are the days of the manifestation of the Sons of God.
I have come to my place of authority. Halleluyah!!
Glory to God.
This is your time. Say ‘This my time’. This is my season.
All the elements of this world must know that God is alive in me.
And He is working in me.
And He is working through me.
I bring life to everything around me.
It’s our Month of Recovery so there cannot be deadness around us.
No loses.
God has empowered us by His Word. By His Spirit.
He is at work in us.
Every word that God gives has the potency to fulfil itself. To manifest itself. And so He sends us out with His Word and His Spirit goes alongside us.
Glory be to God.
Halleluyah !!!
In the process of recovery there are challenges that we will face.
God is aware of the giants. But he also understands the power that is at work in us.
There are giants. But the scriptures say they that be for us are more than they that are against us. Greater is HE that is in us than He that is in the world.
Our focus should not be on the giants but on the mission. Victory has been given to us .
We are those who bring good report.
We are going to look at how to deal with such giants.
Genesis 14:8-20(NKJV)
There may be financial giants.
But take your focus off the finances.
The Holy Spirit never assigns you responsibility that you cannot accomplish.
The Holy Spirit comes with the power of the Almighty. And he lives in the inside of you. The devil cannot successfully take what the Lord has given you.
If you hear someone who is always quarrelling or arguing against the payment of tithes, he is someone who loses battles. He is a loser.
Those who do not lose battles understand the importance of tithes.
Genesis 26:1-33
It is not a matter of where you live. It is a matter of who Lives in you.
Just stay and listen. Do what the Spirit says to do. It is no longer about us but about what Christ has done. When God sees you, He sees the finished works of Christ. God asked Isaac to stay and he stayed.
Say ‘I refuse to be afraid. I do not fear because God is with me’.
Banish fear from your life. Every kind of fear. Train yourself with the Word. Talk to yourself. Fear is a killer to disable you.
When you fear, your system is not able to respond to the right signals.
We are of God. We are born of Him. If there are things around you causing you to fear, refuse to be afraid. Your progress is supposed to be evident to all.
There is so much in the inside of you that is bigger than you and your immediate family. You are a blessing to the entire world. God has put you in a nation so that you cause changes in line with His Will.
We all start somewhere, but make sure you do not stay at the same place.
There is so much blessing in the inside of you that the world cannot contain. Believe it or not.
Enjoy every one of God’s blessings. When you walk with the Spirit, He shows you the doors He has opened for you.
Go digging. Say ‘as I dig, I discover water’. A more better rendering is that out of your belly flows rivers of living water’
Men will come to drink of you. You will be an answer to the cry of many.
Notice in verse 30, Isaac made a feast for them. Wow. When people hate you and say all manner of things against you, pray for them because they don’t know who you are.
You are an embodiment of blessing.
Nehemiah 4:15-17(NKJV)
Your blessings are crying out. They are in the inside of you. Bring them out.
God has brought their plot to nothing.
As you go recovering all don’t forget that that you have an armor. Don’t forget your weapon. And it’s not a physical fight. In the place of prayer, you will find guidance. As you pray, the Holy Spirit shows you what you should do. Find out what you should do. It’s your time. War with the Word. Anything that you are doing let the Word of God flow through your mouth. Tell yourself ‘I am a child of God. I am the right time’.
Your prosperity is not seasonal.
God talks more than any FM Station. God has raised us up as the Light of the world. It doesn’t matter the number of people who have closed up their shops, go and open your shop.
Choose not to fulfil the wrong prophecy.
Salvation Call.
