It is important to plan for a well-balanced life and pray with precision
What makes other people’s prayers seem to be answered quicker than some people’s ones.
LUKE 14:28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” IS OUR MAIN VERSE FOR THE STUDY.
Life falls under 7 spheres and these are governed by spiritual and physical laws, failing to master them equally and with equal commitment, you will succeed in one area and be frustrated in another. A balanced life will demand you to engage all these listed below. To understand them better, I have written a book called Greatness Earned. It explains how you can start from where you are in life and shift your life to the desired outcome, but that doesn’t come on a silver platter…it requires full determination and a desire for a lasting happy life, not microwave fixes. Let me list the forms of life
-Marriage
-finances
-spirituality
-Physical health
-Emotional and mental health
-intellect
-Politics
These are the 7 spheres responsible for your balanced life
Questions are:
1. What is the state of each now? Describe to yourself in writing with precise detail.
2. What strategic plans do you have on each to enforce the desired change, remember a strategy is a long term goal, from 1 year up
3. What is the tactical plan you have to enforce results on your strategy, remember tactical planning is/are short-term plans broken into achievable tasks over time.
Note: balancing some and abandoning others results in an unhealthy lifestyle.
3 Jon 2… Says’ “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well”.
What are the physical actions you must do to change each of them?
Answer individually.
Each sphere of life has principles that govern it.
Knowing them is not enough…you must engage them
e.g for marriage, you must deliberately plan dates with your partner, force vacations, have surprise romantic dinners, don’t bottle things during a conflict rather confront them in a godly manner
On the Physical side, you must exercise, run in the morning or evening, or join a gym.
In the area of Finances, make it a point that you pay your tithe faithfully. No matter how small or big, maintain giving to the house of God continuously, don’t give when you think of it. Always put tithe and giving first then the rest must follow after. Don’t be fooled by people who criticize this system, a tithe is God’s….do your part and leave the rest to God….just like bathing, you can’t look like someone who takes a shower daily if you bath once in a while…a tither and one who tithes once in a while can’t live a life that is the same, never because actions are seeds sown and harvest time will always come in due season.
In Intellectualism…study, advance yourself. Grow your mind, ideas and expand your knowledge and increase or gain skill in life.
So these are examples to give you light on this topic, these forms of life if not engaged consistently….you will have gaps in life
People don’t have answered prayers because they are not well planned out. They just pray on unprepared ground, what I shared with you helps you to plan the totality of your life then you can pray with precision. God only responds to vision, not blind shots….“
