Hi ,
A lot of us grew up hearing “Have faith. God will do it.”
And that’s true.
But somewhere along the line, many people started using faith as an excuse to avoid planning.
Having a will doesn’t mean you’re praying for death.
Just like having car insurance doesn’t mean you’re inviting an accident.
These things are simply called wisdom.
Even the scripture we love to quote, “The Lord shall supply all your needs”, doesn’t cancel the responsibility to think, plan, prepare, and act with sense.
Faith doesn’t mean you live carelessly.
Faith doesn’t mean you operate with no structure.
Faith doesn’t mean you say “If I perish, I perish” every time life demands responsibility.
A few weeks ago, Apostle Muyiwa Areo was sharing the plans for the church for next year.
He talked about the vision and, at the same time, the cost.
Yes, he has faith in God.
But he also has a clear figure, a clear plan, and a clear sense of direction.
That’s how faith works.
You trust God.
But you also count the cost.
You also know what is needed.
You also build wisely.
My generation, especially believers, needs to understand this balance.
It is possible to pray in tongues and still lack common sense.
It is possible to “believe God” and still make poor decisions because you refused to plan.
Faith is not irresponsibility.
Faith is not wishful thinking.
Faith is not “God will sort it out” while you do nothing.
If you’re trusting God for a business breakthrough, do you have a business plan?
If you’re trusting God for open doors, do you have skills?
If you’re believing God for a great year, do you have structure for the year?
Faith doesn’t remove wisdom.
Faith partners with wisdom.
So, please:
Pray.
Believe.
Trust God with your whole heart.
But plan like someone who expects God to answer.
That is the real balance.
Your Fave,
Darasimi
