Jeremiah 29:11-14
“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. Then
you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You
will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found
by you," declares the Lord…” NIV
The year will soon come to an end and
right now there will be a flurry of activities both in the natural and
spiritual, one thing that will be uppermost in people’s minds is what the New
Year holds for them. The other thing that you will be going around is talk
about goal setting for the incoming year. Let me encourage you
right now, you may not know in detail what tomorrow holds for you but one thing
is sure about your tomorrow, it is GOD’S WILL THAT YOUR TOMORROW BE GOOD.
“For I
know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for
good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” NLT
This is what the word of God says very
clearly with no ambiguity. It is God’s will to prosper you, do you good and
give you hope in your future. This is irrespective of what the economy of the
nation is saying or what the devil or anyone is saying. You have to believe
that, you have to put that as a baseline for your expectation for the incoming
year.
Then the second thing that is necessary
after you have accepted that base line is you know seek God’s face, that is,
you now inquire from God so that He can break that general baseline into
specific things for you. This is what will pass as God’s plans for your life.
You see if you do not accept that baseline, what you might receive as God’s
will and plans for the New Year might be faulty.
