Proverbs 16:9 NKJV says, “A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” Planning is part of human life, we dream, set goals, and desire progress. But even when we make our plans, only God knows the best direction for us. He is the one who turns every good intention into a divine purpose. You may not know every detail of how your dream will come true, but if God is in control, He will guide your every move until you arrive where He wants you to be. As we finish the topic of praying for your plans, today I want to speak to two kinds of people: those who have big plans but don’t know how they will reach there, and those who fear to plan unless they first see how everything will work out. Now, you must have faith. The Bible says, “For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37 NKJV). Faith means trusting God even when you don’t see the full picture. You must believe that God will take you there. He knows the road, and He knows every step needed for you to ful...

  Proverbs 13:18  MSG says, “Refuse discipline and end up homeless; embrace correction and live an honored life.” Discipline is the key to honor, growth, and stability in life. When you refuse correction, you close the doors to progress and lose the respect of others. The Message Bible uses the word “homeless” to describe the result of rejecting discipline—not only as lacking a house but also lacking acceptance and belonging. Without discipline, no one will trust or welcome you, because people know that an undisciplined person destroys what others have built. For you to reach your destiny, you need people who will receive you, empower you, and open doors for you. No one rises alone. Even Jesus had disciples, and Joseph’s promotion in Egypt came through Pharaoh accepting him. When God wants to bless or lift you, He uses people. But people only support those who are disciplined, trustworthy, and dependable. Without discipline, even great talent becomes useless because no one wan...

  Revelation 3:11  NIV Says: "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." Jesus gave this message to warn believers to stay strong, faithful, and careful. The “crown” represents reward, honor, and position given by God. To hold on means to guard, protect, and value what God has given you until He comes. It means being faithful in your gifts, your calling, your work, and your opportunities. When you value what you have, you show God that you can be trusted with more. The way you treat the small things God gave you now determines how far you will go in life. This principle applies in every area of your life, spiritually, economically, and socially. Many people are waiting for big blessings, but they ignore the small things already in their hands. What you call “small” is the seed for your future harvest. When you respect, protect, and improve what you have, you open doors for greater blessings. Valuing what God has entrusted to you is a dis...

  Philippians 4:7 (NIV) Says; “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This verse reveals that the peace of God is not something the world can explain or give. It goes beyond human reasoning. It is a supernatural calmness that comes when you fully trust in God. This peace acts like a guard, a spiritual soldier that protects your heart and your mind from fear, confusion, and wrong decisions. When God’s peace rules your heart, it becomes a sign that you are walking in His will. It is one of the clearest ways the Holy Spirit leads us daily. If there is something you want to do or pursue, but you have lost your peace, stop and don’t move forward. That lack of peace is God’s gentle warning that something is not right. The peace of God function like a signal when it disappears, it means “wait” or “don’t go.” If there is someone who wants to enter into a relationship with you, but deep inside you don’t feel peace, d...

  Proverbs 16:3 GNT says, “Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.” True success does not come from our own wisdom or strength but from depending on God. Many people plan carefully but forget the most important part which is inviting God into those plans. When God becomes part of what you are doing, His power, wisdom, and blessings work with you. He sees the future, knows the challenges ahead, and gives direction that no human can provide. Jesus also said, “Without Me, you can do nothing.” This means human strength alone is not enough to bring lasting success. Every successful person has a spiritual backup. Whether they know it or not, something greater than human power supports them. Human ability is limited, but divine help brings supernatural results. For believers, that special ability and power come from God. It is called the blessing of God. When you put God in charge of your plans, He gives you supernatural intelligence, wisdom, and...

  Psalms 86:11 (NIV) Says; “Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” This verse shows the heart of David as a man who desired to know God deeply. He was not only asking for success or blessings but for divine direction he wanted to know God’s ways. When you know God’s ways, you can rely on His faithfulness. It means you will not depend on your own understanding or emotions. David also prayed for an undivided heart, meaning a heart that is not confused or distracted by the world. A heart that fears God will always stay in His purpose and direction. When we talk about your plans and what is right to do, you must first have the knowledge of God’s ways. Without this knowledge, even good plans may lead to failure because they lack divine guidance. The knowledge of His ways is your compass in life. A compass shows you direction, especially when there are many roads. In life, there will be many paths, some may l...

  2 Peter 2:15  GNT says, “They have left the straight path and have lost their way; they have followed the path taken by Balaam son of Beor, who loved the money he would get for doing wrong.” This scripture clearly shows how greed for money can lead someone away from God’s path. Balaam was a prophet who knew the truth, but his heart was captured by the promise of wealth. King Balak wanted him to curse the Israelites and promised him great riches. When Balaam prayed, God told him not to go, yet when more wealth was offered, Balaam’s heart was tempted. He went back to God asking again, “Are you sure I shouldn’t go?” God saw his greed and allowed him to go, but only to speak what He commanded. Balaam went, made sacrifices, but instead of cursing Israel, blessings came out of his mouth. Balak was angry and disappointed. Later, Balaam found another evil way to harm God’s people through false teachings and immorality. Because of money, his heart was darkened and turned against God....

  Revelation 2:14  (GNT) says, “But there are a few things I have against you: there are some among you who follow the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to lead the people of Israel into sin by persuading them to eat food that had been offered to idols and to practice sexual immorality.” In this Bible verse, it is Jesus Himself speaking. I want this to be clear because some preachers and pastors often take certain Bible scriptures and say, “This was said by Apostle Paul,” or, “This was said by Apostle John or David.” They do this to undermine the authority of the Word of God and to justify their evil acts. One example of such deception is the case of Balaam. Let me explain what happened in Numbers 25. Balaam managed to deceive the Israelites by convincing them that eating food offered to idols was not a problem, and that attending the Moabite feasts was harmless. However, behind their backs, Balaam secretly advised Balak, the king of Moab, to cast spells on the food tha...

  I Corinthians 6:16  (NKJV) Says; “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’” The Bible clearly shows that sexual intimacy is not just a physical act, but a spiritual covenant that unites two people as one. When a man joins himself with a harlot, they become one body and one spirit. This means that the spirits operating in the other person’s life gain access into his life too. Fornication, therefore, becomes a spiritual gate through which demonic spirits transfer from one person to another, forming satanic covenants unknowingly. One day, I was doing a deliverance service for a young woman. She told me that her problem was that she kept dreaming about having sexual relationships with other women. These dreams made her start feeling attracted to women in real life. I asked her, “Have you ever done anything like that before?” She said no. She said she had always liked men, but recently everything ...

  1 John 5:21  (NKJV) says, “Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” This verse is a warning from God to protect ourselves from idols, false gods, and anything that takes God’s place in our hearts. Idols are not only images made of stone or wood; they can be anything or anyone that we put above God. When a person gives their heart, loyalty, or worship to idols, they open a spiritual door to evil powers. That is how satanic covenants begin, when people leave the true God and join themselves to the powers of darkness through acts of disobedience and unholy alliances. In Numbers 25:1–3 (NKJV) we read, “Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. [2] They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. [3] So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.” In these verses, we see that Israel entered into a satanic coven...
