Read - Deuteronomy 28:1-14
As the Lord begins to restore you to your wealthy place it is imperative that you have already made the proper preparations to maintain the same. Planning, discipline and an open ear are a few of the essential tools that must be implemented.
(As a reminder, wealth is not limited to monetary increase or the gain of possessions in the physical realm. We’ll discuss the subject of wealth at a late time.)
Begin now to write and develop an enhanced, strategic plan. This plan must incorporate the well-defined vision that the Lord has given to you concerning your destiny. Your plans must satisfy the required steps which are needed for you to obtain your God given goals. Most of the people who are sudden advanced to a higher plateau don’t maintain that status mainly because they didn’t have a written plan that they could use as their guide. (Refer to Habakkuk 2:2a)
Although some people have very well organized plans – they lack the discipline and the tenacity to adhere to their plans. In order to change my disciplinary actions, I must change my approach – my mind must be renewed. (Refer to Romans 12:2) Discipline requires renewal. Most of us lack the discipline to adhere to those tasks that go “against the grain”. However, we must also realize that most of us would have been in a different arena of life had we applied just a little more discipline in the areas that are more significant.
Lastly we must fine tune our ability to hear the voice of the Lord. (Refer to John 10:27) Our ear must be open only to His guidance and direction. Break that mold that causes you to think that our God is limited in His access to you. When you know His voice, you will be able to recognize it without regards as to where it is being projected. When you know His voice, you will have a receptive spirit to the obedience of His voice. When you know His voice, you will have an open ear to His voice. When you have an open ear to His voice, He will be able to lead you to the make the proper investments – those which WILL bring a profitable gain.
Yes… God has promised to return the years that: the locust, the canker worm, the caterpillar and the palmerworm have stolen (Refer to Joel 2:25). However, as the return is given to you – it now becomes your responsibility to be a good steward, apply the proper strategies and maintain your position as; the head and not the tail … and above ALWAYS and never, ever beneath!
