#174: Stop Stressing & Start Planning For Success: How to Have Your Most Fruitful Year Ever

December 7, 2024

A Plan is simply a healthy boundary around your time, your talents and your effort. Having a plan is like having a roadmap for how to navigate to your breakthrough.

I’m coming in with a hard but GOOD word for you today . . .

YES, You DO need a plan (Luke 14:28). YES, You CAN plan (Philippians 4:13). And YES, You can even learn CONTENTMENT and find JOY in the midst of the process of planning (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).

Maybe you’ve had an experience of planning letting you down in the past. Maybe you don’t feel like you’re good at it. Maybe you’ve believed the lie that, since the outcome belongs to the Lord, it’s a waste of time to plan for your breakthrough and eventual victory in Christ Jesus. Can I tell you something?

The devil is a liar and he’s trying to do whatever he can to get you off the plan for your life, Sis!

You need a God-given strategy for how to steward your time, talents and efforts as it pertains to the work God has given you to do in this life. And the longer you live in the chaos of what you think is “waiting on God” (when what’s really happening is just a mixture of apathy and bad theology), the farther down the disappointment pit you will fall. But Jesus came that you might have abundant life, to the FULL. Are you ready for that?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast we’re talking about why you definitely need a plan, how to get to the place where you know you can craft and execute a plan, and how to even enjoy the journey of planning so you can step into your most fruitful year with the Lord EVER, all without the overwhelm. It’s time, so before you hit play — Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

Luke 14:28
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
