Opening Prayer

Gracious Lord, as we delve into the treasures of Your Old Testament, illuminate our hearts with the enduring truths found within. May our time together foster a deepened understanding of Your promises and how we can apply them to our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

 

REFLECTION

Contemplate the profound assurance in Jeremiah 29:11. How does knowing that God has plans for your welfare and a future filled with hope impact your perspective on life’s challenges? Reflect on instances when God’s plans exceeded your expectations.

 

MEMORIZING THE VERSE

Commit Jeremiah 29:11 to memory this week. Write it down and carry it with you, allowing it to serve as a constant reminder of God’s intentional plans for your life.  

CREATING AND MEDITATING

Choose a creative activity:

1. Promise Journal Create a promise journal. Write down specific promises from God that resonate with you, and reflect on how they have been fulfilled in your life. This can be a tangible source of encouragement during challenging times.
2. Visual Representation Craft a visual representation of God’s plans for you. This could be a vision board, a drawing, or any creative expression that captures the essence of a future filled with hope and welfare.

 

TAKING ACTION AND APPLYING

Identify an area in your life where you need to trust in God’s plans. Develop a practical action plan to surrender that area to Him, recognizing that His intentions are for your welfare and future hope.  

Hymn

 

God Is Working His Purpose Out

1.

 God is working this purpose out, as year succeeds to year; God is working this purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

2.

From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: “Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

3.

Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world. Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

4.

All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Words: Arthur Campbell Ainger, Music: Millicent D. Kingham

 

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance of Your plans for our welfare and hope. May we rest in the comfort of Your promises, knowing that Your faithfulness endures through all generations. Guide us as we navigate the paths You have set before us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute and Axx Bible College. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
