OVERCOMING OBSTACLES AND HINDRANCES IN YOUR LIFE PLANS AND TARGETS

 Psalm 127:1 (NKJV) says; “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.”


Every human heart desires to build something lasting, it may be a career, a family, a legacy. But many people labor endlessly, only to find themselves weary, frustrated, or empty. Psalm 127:1 calls us to a higher kind of planning one that is built on divine partnership. It teaches that the first step in every strategy should be spiritual alignment.

No plan, effort, or achievement has true lasting value if it’s detached from God’s will. Solomon, known for wisdom and prosperity, wrote this Psalm to highlight that success without divine partnership is emptiness. The “house” here symbolizes every structure of life, whether family, business, career, or dream. The verse is not a warning against planning, but an invitation to plan with God.

When we plan without God, we rely on human wisdom, which is limited. But when we invite Him into our process, our plans are guided by His infinite insight. Proverbs 16:3 says: “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” Divine alignment turns ordinary planning into an act of worship.

Planning without God often leads to anxiety, but Planning with Him brings peace. The Lord knows the road ahead of you, He foresees all obstacles, prepares provision, and orchestrates divine connections. The wise planner prays before they act and listens to God’s instructions before they decide. God doesn’t just bless good plans; He blesses surrendered hearts.

True success isn’t measured by results alone, but by obedience. When God builds your “house,” every foundation stands firm even in storms. As Jesus said, “The wise man built his house upon the rock.” (Matthew 7:24).

So before setting goals or creating strategies, pause and ask God, “Lord, is this Your plan or mine?” Aligning your ambition with His purpose transforms frustration into fulfillment. Every divinely built structure stands because it carries the weight of His blessing.

Prayer: Lord, help me build every plan on Your wisdom and trust Your hand in all I do.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
