How To Set Your Goals (1) Thu, 12 Dec 2019 ‘The Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there.’ Acts 16:7 NLT We’ve all been given individual gifts and goals in life, and God is the giver of both. Jesus said, ‘That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’ (John 3:6 NKJV) When you have a desire that’s ‘born of the flesh’, don’t expect God to fulfil it. It’s ok to admire and learn from gifted, successful people, as long as you don’t try to duplicate them. It’s okay to emulate their good character qualities and seek their input as long as you go to God, the architect of each of our lives, and ask Him to show you His blueprint for your life. Even though David’s desire was to build the temple, God told him his son, Solomon, would ultimately build it. David’s job was to raise the money and materials for the project. If you’re a ‘make-it-happen’ sort of person, that kind of thinking will go against your grain. So read this and think about it: ‘They were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Gospel to them.’ (Acts 16:6–10 NKJV) So let God set your goals and you’ll be heading in the right direction. |

How did this teach us to set a goal? See Christianity that leaves everything to God to do is not the Christianity I know. At every point in your Christian journey you will have to take decisions and setting goals is one out of it. where God will just be quiet. At some point he steps in. |
