The Recipe...........

Good morning everyone! I hope your Tuesday is going great. I have had a busy last few days. Sunday was amazing at church. Kenny Evans came to sing and preach and we had 11 people accept Christ as their Savior. It was an amazing service! God was in the house. Then Sunday night at youth we had 3 accept Christ as their Savior and numerous other decisions. It was a very powerful day in the Lord's house. I preached on visions, recipes, and directions. God has plans for your life if you are a born again believer. Let's dig into the good stuff and see what it say's about the subject.........

Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God has a plans for you, a desire, an vision to do something great for Him. Some of them might be small and some great. regardless of the size and how they are implemented they have eternal significance. Why? Because GOD is the author of them!!!! Do you know what your vision is? Listen, It is like a good recipe. God's plan has a detailed set of instructions. You must follow them to produce the desired outcome. Don't fool yourself. We are have opportunities to do something unique for God. Now, here comes the sad part of this devotion. Very few people fulfill God's purpose or vision God has placed on their hearts. Why is that? Most blame their lack of success on God or other people. But, what it really boils down to is us following directions! The directions God has given us. God knows what is best for you and He has a recipe for success just for you!!! Now, the influence of friends and society weigh heavily on our ability to follow the directions to the letter. Most problems arise when we take our eyes off the recipe and/or begin to listen to advice and faulty information. What is your recipe? If you take an ingredient out of a cooking recipe. The recipe doesn't turn out the way it was supposed to. If you use salt instead of sugar it just turns out bad!!! What is God's vision for your life? Are you following the directions?

The Bible say's in Habakkuk 2:2 the Bible say's to write your vision down. It will help you see the steps you need to take to fulfill it! Let's pray that God's will show us what His vision/plan/recipe is for our lives. then let's get to work implementing them. I know He has a good recipe made up for you. Why? because His Word says so!!! Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!!!
