THEME: PLANS OF GOD

2 Corinthians 5:5

“Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come”.

INSIGHT

-God has an eternal plan for our lives founded on love. He loved us so much that He gave us His only begotten Son that we may believe in Him and have eternal life. Sometimes we try to look for love from other people, things, work, money, wealth and power but we don’t seem to find it. We are called to rely on God’s love, for us His love is unconditional and nothing can separate us from His love. Other times we face tribulations and challenges, trouble and hardship, famine and nakedness, danger and sword, but God’s love for us still stands. God has a good plan for our lives and has given us His Holy Spirit that we may always dwell in love, for God is love. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Helper, Counselor, Strengthener and He intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. He is our deposit, guaranteeing that we have eternal life through Christ Jesus. If He raised Jesus from the dead, He will also raise us from the dead even if we sleep, and this is the sure hope of our faith in Him.

SUMMARY
God’s plans for our lives are perfect and eternal. First we see that, God has a predestined will or plan for our lives which is irresistible, unchangeable and unconditional. God knew about us before we were born and His will for us cannot be changed. We see the birth of Jesus, for instance; which was predestined before the foundations of the world. God foreknew us, predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus Christ, called us, justified us and glorified our spirits as we await the final glorification of our bodies during Christ’s second coming. Secondly, God also has a moral will for us. He does not want anyone to perish but all to come to repentance. He is not slack in His promises but long-suffering and His love for us endures forever. Thirdly, God has a desired will for our lives. He desires that we all come to know Him and have faith in Him through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He calls us to put all our trust in Him for all things works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose. God also desires that we are baptized, we receive the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit, we forgive one another, we pray about everything, we praise Him in spirit and in truth etc. God’s desired will encompasses all of our lives. Lastly, God has an eternal plan for our lives. He loved us so much that He gave us His only begotten Son that we may believe in Him and have eternal life. His salvation plan is founded on love and He calls us to love Him and our neighbors as ourselves. Through His eternal covenant He has made us complete in every good work that we may always do His will and be pleasing in His sight. We know that all things work for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Let us not grow weary in our walk with God or doubt His power in our lives but always trust in Him for He is our Rock and Salvation. Other things may perish but His love and promises for us will always stand. Our own plans may fail but His purpose for our lives will come to pass. Let us always remember that God has good plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.
