PLANNING FOR YOUR LIFE

PLANNING FOR YOUR LIFE 

BY REV. FRANCIS NYARKO

De 28:1 ¶ Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:

Every worker either farmer/seller see yourself as a steward. Steward is one who looks after something. If you want to go up high then don’t see your work as you are the owner but rather be a steward over the work. Be a steward to the work and let God be the owner.

Mt 24:45 Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

Be a servant but not the owner/Boss. Don’t be leaving your work to your workers whilst you are house sleeping/sitting idle because you make yourself the boss, you are not wise by buying unnecessary things.

Faithful Steward & Wise Steward

A steward needs to be paid. You need to pay yourself out of the income earn. Don’t miss use the money by buying unnecessary things.

      Every steward has the sense of setting goal, aim, objectives & having vision to work towards.

      Life without aim /vision /purpose is useless. You should work towards your purpose/aim/vision/goal.

      The talent God gave to the three people to use to work is an example. Two use theirs to work whiles one didn’t use the talent at all but rather give it out to the owner as it is.

      Aimless people does not even listen to advice.

Note: If you make yourself as the boss but not a steward you give chance to evil spirit to take over your business.

      You should even set time of which you will reach the work place and time of closing.

      If you don’t have aim you can’t set a goal.

      You should set a goal for even the year you begin. The amount you will get and how you will use it.

Every tree you see out there begins with a little seed.

      Every big business you see out there begins with a step. E.g. Susu, Savings, Fixed Deposit etc.

      If you don’t plan life you will buy unnecessary things because people are buying

      Set a goal that you will be able to do something within the year by doing things small, small. Thus, how to build even your house improve your business.

      If you plan your life, you get to know that there are certain things when you pick it off it will be good and some when you add it will be very good. Hab 2:2 And the Lord gave me an answer, and said, Put the vision in writing and make it clear on stones, so that the reader may go quickly.

      You should write everything that you do so as to work towards.

      After writing the goal you will hold it, run with it to everywhere that you go.

THE THREE (3) STAGES OF LIFE

Pr 16:9 ¶ A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps. Pr 14:8 ¶ The wisdom of the man of good sense makes his way clear; but the unwise behaviour of the foolish is deceit. Lu 14:28 For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete? Lu 14:29 For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,  Lu 14:30 And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

The three (3) stages are

Stage One (1) 4am-11am – 16-23years is your mourning

Stage Two (2) 11am-4am – 23-50years is your afternoon

Stage three (3) 4pm-11pm – 50years & above is your evening

NEED FOR PLANNING ONCE LIFE

1. Retirement
2. Emergencies

Pr 16:9 ¶ A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.

You need to set a goal towards something so that God will also help you to fulfill it. God cannot come in if you don’t have a goal. If you don’t plan your life well and eat all that you have now, you will surely suffer in the future.

Note that if you don’t plan you are also said to be a fool. In life your contribute 80% and evil spirit contribute 20%. You can see that you are highly sensible than evil spirit.

Lu 14:28 For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

All that it talks about is to have an aim as a steward. You cannot be a steward without an aim.

If you are not able to achieve your aim, you are counted to be a fool.

Note that there is no luck in the Bible.

You plan according to your income. You should not expect anything from anybody but be on your own.

The three stages shows every one’s life. If you don’t plan well, you become a liability to your family and the public.

You should plan for your retirement such that when even your children did not look after you on your old age, you will be able to look after yourself.

      At the first stage demands on the parents by looking after their children. At this time of 4am is your dawn. At 10am you are to response to what your parents want you to do.

As a businessman/woman, you should keep your time well. You make unnecessary noise when you did not plan.

      The afternoon determines how your life will be. It shows what you will get for the day.

At the age of afternoon to about 4pm you should know what you have achieved. Use the money that you have to plan for your life and give to God as expected.

      At the age of evening, you struggle to kill yourself.  So is your rest time.

The chart is what you will use to determines the number of children you will give birth to. If you make yourself high, you give chance to witches/wizards into your life /marriage.
