Committing Our Plans to the Lord Introduction Life is full of decisions—whether in our personal lives, businesses, or ministries. Many times, we make plans, work hard, and strive for success. But Proverbs 16:3 gives us a key principle: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." This verse teaches us that success isn’t just about effort; it’s about surrender. Today, we will explore three key truths from this verse that can transform the way we work, plan, and live. 1. The Command: Commit Your Work to the Lord The word commit in Hebrew literally means “to roll onto.” It gives the image of rolling a burden off your shoulders and placing it onto God’s. This means we are not meant to carry the weight of our plans alone. Application: Before making decisions in business or ministry, seek God in prayer. Surrender your desires and ambitions to Him, asking for His will to be done. Trust that He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for...

Yes! Prophetic worship not only brings spiritual transformation but can also release personal and material blessings. Here’s how: 1. Opens Doors for Divine Provision When we worship prophetically, we declare God’s abundance over our lives. Example: In 2 Chronicles 20:25 , after Jehoshaphat’s army worshiped, they collected vast riches from their defeated enemies. 2. Attracts Favor and Opportunities Worship aligns our hearts with God’s will, positioning us for unexpected blessings. Example: Joseph remained faithful in God’s presence, and he was elevated to rulership ( Genesis 41:39-41 ). 3. Breaks the Spirit of Lack Prophetic worship shifts our mindset from scarcity to faith in God's provision. Example: The widow of Zarephath experienced miraculous provision of oil and flour after responding to the prophetic word ( 1 Kings 17:14-16 ). 4. Brings Financial Breakthroughs Many testimonies show that worship has led to job promotions, business success, and supernatural...
