PLANNING IS A PRODUCT OF WISDOM
Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.
Proverbs 24:3-4 (TLB)
Planning is the fundamental management function, which involves deciding beforehand, what is to be done, when it is to be done, how it is to be done and who is going to do it. It is an intellectual process which lays down an organisation’s/individual’s objectives and develops various courses of actions, by which the organisation/individual can achieve those objectives. It chalks out exactly, how to attain a specific goal. Planning is nothing but thinking before the action takes place. It helps us to take a peep into the future and decide in advance the way to deal with the situations, which we are going to encounter in future. It involves logical thinking and rational decision making. Spiritually speaking, planning is a wisdom function, that helps the individual, group, organisation or nation lay beforehand, what is to be done (objective), when it is to be done (timing), how it is to be done (strategy) and who is going to do it (assigning an individual). It leaves no room to assumptions. Our opening texts says that any enterprise, business, ministry, career is built by wise planning. Planning is tying activities or actions to be carried out to time, place and person. Planning is the fundamental way of being versatile in your pursuits in life. It is also a smart way to obtain results. Many believers who are still grounded today, though they have discovered their gifts, have identified with their discoveries and are unwaveringly committed in its pursuit, are so because they are poor planners. A wise man said, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Planning, therefore, is Yahweh’s wisdom for increased productivity.
Planning requires that you sit down to count the cost of every proposed action. Planning requires that you separate yourself alone to reason with the Lord in His Word and come up with scriptural courses of action that must be implemented within specific time frames. Facts are the instruments of a good plan. A fact is a truth, reality or a real state of things. There are natural, technical and spiritual facts. A natural fact is a truth pertaining to nature. For instance, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west — that is a natural fact. A technical fact, on the other hand, is a truth pertaining to art or applied science. For example, electrical facts. But spiritual facts are superior to all, because whatever is from above is above all. We have seen natural and technical facts producing outstanding results. Then you can imagine what spiritual facts will produce! That is why men who are linked up with spiritual facts effortlessly excel in all areas of life.
Therefore, I advise that you create a place in your house you call “Thinking Corner”. Go there, sit down with paper and pen and begin to plan how to make the best of your days, your time, your money, etc. If you are able to think through, you will inevitably end up a success.
REMEMBER: You can build anything if you can engage wise planning.
CONFESSION: I am a wonder happening in this generation. I am a committed planner by the Holy Spirit. My time is very precious because I do not have eternity to fulfil destiny, I have only time and I put it to judicious use through wise planning. Glory be Yahweh!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see a revolution in your life by engaging wise planning by the help of the Holy Spirit from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
