SO integral in our faith walk in recalling the prophecies of God upon ourselves.
We do know that on this side of the Cross the promises of God are yes and Amen in Christ, 2 Corinthians 1:20, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”
In other words, they are a done deal.
The prophecies of God find expression in our lives.
We’re the bodies which give expression to what God ordained before the fountain of the world.
Passage of time and change of circumstances may push us to the corner to abandon the prophecies and promises of God which we once believed.
The spirit of the Bible encourages us to hold on to the very end.
Now again we are called to recall our forsaken sayings of God and reposition ourselves to experience the realisation of the prophecies of God.

We continue to pray and hold on, Greek, lambano or seize or hold on dearly.
Let us look at the will, purpose and plan of God.
We're free moral agents and we can choose the course of our lives independent of what God thinks.
God did not make us as robots where He controls us from a tower in heaven indifferent from our free will.
However, it’s enjoyable to walk with God.
Like we have said before in this resource, the will of God is found within His salvation plan.
Whatever path you choose in your occupation or career path, talk to God about your preferences.
If He has a different direction, please yield to His Wisdom.
Many times we usually want to do something.
This is not necessarily wrong.
You just have to get yourself sorted out and be in the right frame in the spirit as we have said before and be discerning and be where God wants you to be.
You won't beat yourself in heaven if God was to show you what He had in store for you on earth.
He has a plan for you, align with it.
Your prayer will sought that out.
He says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Please always know that God knows everything from beginning to end and from end to beginning.
The Amplified puts it thus in Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose,”
We cannot better or improve on what God did. He did it.
We don’t try to help Him out.
Our prayer is; Father, what is it that You want to do through, in and for me. Many times we often think that God doesn't really want us to enjoy life.
No no, He delights in our joy of salvation.
The carnal mind thinks that going with God’s plan steals our joy.
God is interested and concerned with our joy, happiness and fulfilment.
We don’t want to lose purpose in life.
No matter how much money or wealth can be derived, life outside your purpose is empty.
We don’t want to pursue empty and barren lives.
They say that there’s premature death outside the purpose of God.
For those in specific ministry assignments, never follow money at the expense of your calling.
Always seek counsel and guidance.
1 Timothy 6:10-11, is your compass, “[6] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”
The following is directional and instructive.
We read Proverbs 19:21, “There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.”
Stick to the Word of God in its rightly divided format.
Let’s put more flesh in Psalm 37:23-24, “[23] The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. [24] Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.”
You will make it to the end.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Grace and peace be multiplied to you through knowledge.
