The Lord our God has plans to prosper us, and not to harm us. He gives us hope and a future, and His plans are always the right plans.
There are dozens of touching Bible verses about God’s incredible plans for us – for the world. We are all a part of that plan – the plan for a greater future, and one that our Lord has designed for us.
We must enact God’s plan and spread His Gospel to the corners of the world by being missionaries and giving to the church.
The Lord’s people must pray for those who have not been reached by His word, and work endlessly to illuminate the paths of those who continue to live in darkness.
Leaders must be appointed who can spread the words to far communities and peoples, and we must share what resources we have for the good of the church.
God’s plan surrounds us, and it has been written, but we cannot sit idly by. We must get up and work to fulfil all he intends. We must provoke the Church to fulfil the mission that God has set us, and we have wasted enough time.
The Role Of The Church In God’s Plan
The Church will play a key role in God’s plan, as it has for hundreds of years. The Holy Book makes it clear that God’s people are to declare His glory to the world, and spread the Good Word.
When you hear the Holy Words, faith will be placed in Jesus Christ, and your soul is saved.
If the Gospel is not spread to the corners of the earth, its people will remain in sin. Trapped and in a dark place. We must heed the call of the church, and be the light to illuminate the spiritual freedom of the world, and do as God commands.
