Text: Jeremiah 29:11
God is the master project and life planner who oversees all of life’s activities, and what this means is that He has a unique plan for everyone and for every group for the year 2022. He has a unique plan to bring you (and the communities you belong to) good and a future full of hope.
The We Move series, and by extension our discussion today, is all about Following God’s Plans for your life in 2022 and beyond.
A plan, according to the Oxford Languages Dictionary, is “a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.” The same dictionary also describes it as “an intention or decision about what one is going to do.” A plan is not a wish list or a personal agenda.
When a plan is followed, it simply means its contents and instructions are implemented or executed as proposed. So, following God’s plan simply translates to implementing His Word as given by the scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
Below are some of the key areas of your life that you need to have a plan for in 2022:
- Your relationship with God
- Your relationship with your family
- Your relationship with others
- Your relationship with your church
- Your career, business and finances
- Your academics
- Your health
Here are three (3) things that have been highlighted as the starting move as you begin 2022:
- Prayerfully Document your goals and desires. Habakkuk 2:2
- Find out what you need to achieve these goals and desires (Time, Resources, People, Knowledge etc.). Luke 14:28
- Submit it to God in prayers. 1 Sam 23: 1-4, 1 Sam 30:18
Action Plan
- Write out all that your goals and desires for 2022
- Pray over them and tweak them as you are inspired
- Do an extensive research on what you need for your goals
- Pray for God to provide the needs
