Doing it according to His ways...!

Acts 5:38-39 NKJV

And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

Shalom! Day #340. Do you know that if you are doing God's plan, no man will be able to withstand you and if it's your own plan, it will fail? Let's pray. Father, help us daily to do Your will and to execute Your plans for us as well as gor this world. Lord, we pray lest we be found pursuing our own plans. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

When you are pursuing you own plans, you will come to a place of disappointment but when you pursue God's plan, everything will be according to His appointment,  a success. Do it the God style,  God's ways. In this verse, the Pharisees are against the works that Peter is doing. He was preaching, teaching, praying for healings in the name Jesus. And this group of religious leaders are so troubled and disturbed by this. So they caught Peter and John and questioned them. Then one of them said let them alone for if this works they do is ot their own, it will not last long, but if it's from God,  then better do not interfere it. Ambitious people always have great plans and ideas of doing things their ways. But people of God, who fully and totally relying upon God's plans and ideas will see greater success and significance.

A couple of things I would like to share here today.

1. In  Proverbs 19:21 NKJV it's written that,  There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord ’s counsel—that will stand.
⊙ we can have many plans, but if our plans are not according to His plans and purposes, it will not prosper.

- God's ways of doing things are always higher than our plans and ways. Every little things about our lives are filled with the plans of God. If we try to do things on our own accord, according to our ways, it will always fail eventually. Why? Simply because we aren't inline with His ways. Well then how to know His plans? Well, commit all your ways and plans to Him, and God will give you the best. There are many plans in a man's heart, but without the Lord's approval, advice, correction, nothing will come to past. When you seek His kingdom and righteousness,  God will make known to you His plans for you. And when God is involve in the plans He gave you... no devil can stop you!

- for example,  I'm speaking to the youth group. If you are looking for a life partner, then you better listen to this!  Many boys and girls are looking for the outward appearance and they fell for it, yet in the end of the day they got disappointed. Why? Simply because they did not take time to pray and ask God. For every male and female came to this earth,  they came by pair. God created male and female. God did not just create one kind. Well, you go to seek God 1st, earnestly then He will reveal to you your life partner. Your life partner is hidden in God, safe and secured!

2. Lest you even be found to fight against God.
⊙ yes... it's a serious matter.  If you are doing things your way, well you are rebelling against God.

- you go against God when you don't submit to His will and plans. Israel rebelled against God and they wandered for 40 years in the desert. Because they can't see the plans of God for them. God has promised a land of milk and honey, yet they kept on murmuring and grumbling, and doing things their way. God was angry. Are you doing your own things without God involve in it? Commit your ways to God and He will prosper your works.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
