I feel led to ask seven questions that can change our live
- Do you have a God-given plan for your life? If yes, what is your plan? If no, seek God in prayer for He is anxious to reveal His plan for you.
- Have you shared this plan with your spouse, or if you are single, with your prayer partner or pastor or spiritual mentor?
- What would you like to accomplish in the next twelve months in these six major areas of your life? (Spiritual, Family, Financial, Mental, Physical and Social)
- Do you have a written plan with a specific timetable on how you can fulfill your plans in the six major areas of your life?
- What would you like to accomplish in the next five years in each of the six major areas of your life?
- What additional skills, abilities, and information will you need to achieve these plans?
- Do you have a list of the places you could go, the people you could see, and the sources you could use to help gain the new information, skills, and abilities you need to complete your plans?

2 Chronicles 31:20-21 AMP
“Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah, and he did what was good, right, and faithful before the Lord his God. And every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in keeping with the law and the commandments to seek his God [inquiring of and yearning for Him], he did with all his heart, and he prospered.”
2 John 1:8 MSG
“And be very careful around them so you don't lose out on what we've worked so diligently in together; I want you to get every reward you have coming to you. Anyone who gets so progressive in his thinking that he walks out on the teaching of Christ, walks out on God. But whoever stays with the teaching, stays faithful to both the Father and the Son.”
Action # 5 Continually research, refine and re-direct your efforts.

Action # 6 Count The Costs.

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’”
Philippians 1:6 NLT
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
Action # 7 Never Take “No” For An Answer
Luke 11:8-9 NLT
“But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”
