Hello Everyone,

This week we are continuing in our series for the New Year –”Having Your Cake and Eating it To” or secrets for abundant living.

Remember that this whole series is based on 3 very important principles.
1. God has a plan for your life - Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.

2. There is a battle engaged for your life - Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

3. Too many of God’s people are losing the battle - Marriages, children, finances, life. Matthew 9:36 - “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Let’s get right to it.
1) Ingredient #4 - Make a Plan - It really follows logically from the first three steps.

Step one was about finding out what life is supposed to look like. Answering the questions Who am I, what am I, where am I, and what do I really want.

The answer to those questions helps to identify what God made you and what He is calling you to be. Remember God has a plan for your life.

Next we talked about owning it, it is your “Recipe” - taking responsibility for life - realizing that we have the POWER through the Spirit of God to be anything He is calling us to be - no matter what obstacles are placed in our paths.

We also have to embrace positive change - we will never get anywhere new without change.

The next piece of the puzzle is to make a plan. If you know where you want to go - and you know where you are - the next step is to make a plan to get there.

Until Tomorrow
