Proverbs24:27 Do your planning and prepare your fields, before building your house. NLT
There is a common saying that proper prior planning prevent poor performance.
That is very true. God has given us the liberty to plan within His will for our lives; there are Christians that see proper planning as something carnal but when you look at the lives of such people, they don't have visible results. As Spirit-filled believers, all you need do is to receive the pattern from God and plan towards achieving what's on God's mind.
Even Jesus stressed on the importance of planning when he was talking about counting the cost if a man want to build his house. Have you seen a contractor/builder without a plan and budget? You don't start a building contract and request for money half-way because you under-budgeted, nobody would take such a contractor serious. You have to live life consciously knowing fully well that there is no time to play.
In fact, you need to plan your prayer time, study time, when to fast and so on. Devil is a deliberate planner and that is why he succeeds in his dirty business but God's people hardly plan. Those in the world plan very well and they outwit God's children, so why shouldn't we plan?
Dearest, God is not against planning, please start planning and write them down.
Father, I receive grace to plan within your will In Jesus name.
