I salute you on the pages of our \u201eDaily Word for Spiritual Edification\u00bb!\r\n\r\nWe have been talking about the fact that we can plan together with God and partner with Him to construct a great future. We established also that great future does not happen automatically.\r\n\r\nWe are believers, but that does not mean that we do not have to think about the future. We should not be careless about our future even though we believe that our future is in the hand of God. God has given us a mind and He wants us to move forward and create a wonderful future for ourselves. A person who does not care about his future usually turns to be a failure. It is very important to plan for the future and to envision it.\r\n<h6>\u00abNow to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us\u2026\u00bb(Ephesians, 3:20)<\/h6>\r\nYesterday we discussed the idea that God first places some images of what He wants us to become in our minds and thoughts. That means we first need to accept God\u2019s plan and ponder upon it, or we will never have it. And in order to start pondering upon it we need to see this plan in our minds. What we cannot see we cannot have. God wants us to stop complaining about our life and to get serious about creating a new, successful future.\r\nThe Bible says that\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u201eGod has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind\u201d (2 Timothy, 1:7).<\/h6>\r\nGod has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. The phrase \u2018sound mind\u2019 means \u2018healthy mind\u2019. God wants us to use our minds and purposefully move towards our wonderful future. If you have no understanding and no ideas of what your tomorrow is going to be like or if you really do not care about it or you lack the vision for it, it is all wrong, because God Himself does not want you to live like that.\r\nMany people have different excuses in this area, saying, \u201e<strong>God alone knows my future; so why should I think about it<\/strong>?\u201d Others say, \u201e<strong>Whatever will be will be; there is nothing I can do about it<\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\nIt is all a lie, and it is a wrong, erroneous thinking. God is calling us to become partners with Him so that together you can design a wonderful future. God cannot do it without us, and we cannot do it without Him. If we will cooperate with God, ponder upon the things He thinks and speaks of us and our future and move towards that future, &#8211; we will start seeing real changes in our lives.\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have been talking about the fact that we can plan together with God and partner with Him to construct a great future.
