For I know the thought and plan I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plan for welfare and peace and not of evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” Jeremiah29:11 (AMP). Gods ways are simple. When you start to pass through anxiety and all kinds of things, you need to examine again who is building. That is one of the truths I have told myself concerning ministry. I am not going to put myself under pressure, I refuse. I do not have any point to prove to anyone. As far as I am concerned, you are doing what God called you to do and I am doing what He called me to do. If he wants me to do what you are doing, then He will instruct me and provide for it. The same should be your decision irrespective of where God has planted you to function. Dont just copy others, find out God’s plan specifically put together for you. God has a plan for you. His ultimate is for you to be blessed and alive to enjoy your blessings. He does not want you blessed and then you disappear from church on account of His blessings. No He wants you blessed and planted in His house. That is why seeking His face for His plan is not a 100km dash, it is a relationship. Not only that He reveals to you which direction to go, what happens is that in the process of seeking Him and finding out what He is building draws you close to Him and develops character in you. The Lord is not just interested in blessing you, He is also interested in the instruments He wants to bless. When you find out God’s plan for you, then you will be relaxed and follow Him. Success is simply finding out God’s purpose for your life and fulfilling it. The scripture above makes it very clear that God has a clear cut plan for you. He has a final outcome in mind. You will only be fulfilled when you find out that plan and pursue it. However, dont let the devil lie to you that sickness is God’s plan for you. The plan is well defined - it is a plan for welfare and peace and not evil. Dont fall for the lies of the devil, focus on God and you will get there.
