Open Heaven 1 December 2020: [Tuesday] Daily Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye – Commit Your Plans to God
COMMIT YOUR PLANS TO GOD – Tuesday December 1st
2020
Memorise: A man’s heart deviseth
his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Proverbs 16:9
Read: Proverbs 19:20-21 (KJV)
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that
thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
Bible in one year: 1st
Corinthians 12-14, Sing Hymn 5
Message:-
It is not wise to start planning for something when you are ready in it. Some people plan their year in the beginning of the year; no wonder they hardly achieve anything meaningful in that year.
Open Heaven 1 December 2020 – Commit Your Plans to God
You cannot begin to plan for a battle when you are already in the
midst of it. Have you ever seen someone planning their wedding on the wedding
day? Or begin to study for an examination in the exam hall when question papers
are already being distributed? Why then do you wait until the new year before
you begin to plan for it?
Now, if I were to ask to see your plan for
the year 2021, would you have something to show me? Note that I said ‘show me’
and not ‘tell me’, because I believe that any serious Christian will live by
Habakkuk 2:2 which says:

“And
the LORD answered
me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run
that readeth it.”
If you would not have anything to show me,
then you need to go to the drawing board and do a proper plan for the year
2021.
Having established the need for you to plan ahead of the new year, it is important that you commit those plans to the hands of God. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God had a plan and agenda for your life. It does not matter how meticulous your plan is, if it is not in line with His agenda for you, you may end up struggling to get your footing in the new year. Let Him know that all you care about is that His will is done and nothing else.
Open Heaven 1 December 2020 Tuesday Key Point
Tell Him, just like our memory verse says, that you may have
planned your way, but you need Him to direct your steps. God is not responsible
for whatever is not committed to His hands; if you know exactly what you want
to do in the new year and you don’t need His help, He will simply stand back
and watch. But if you call on Him to direct your footsteps, He will take you to
greater heights and help you far beyond your imagination.
Key Point
In year 2021, put God’s will above
yours, always.
