JESUS CALLS US TO HAVE NO PLAN "B"

I heard a line recently which reasonated with me when it comes to our relationship with JESUS......there is no real authentic justification for the line : THIS BELONGS TO JESUS ....& THIS BELONGS TO ME! If JESUS is LORD then His Biblical command is that He is to be truely LORD of ALL or not at all.
If you read JAMES 1: 6-7(Msg) it says a very powerful theme:''Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master ..adrift at sea, (note) KEEPING ALL YOUR OPTIONS OPEN."WOW!
I meet so many people who pray for a vision , a confirmation of JESUS' perfect will & when they receive it .....there is a response like : "Lord , do you have a plan "B"?
Dear friends JESUS doesn't have a plan "B", He certainly didn't when He came to this world as a baby, He certainly did not have a plan "B" when it came to being persecuted , hated , lied about when He performed great miracles ... & He most definately did not have any other plan "B",''C'', "D", ......"Z''when it came to dying a cruel death on the CROSS, for your sin & mine. So please do not be offensive to GOD & JESUS' call on your life by blandly , seeking a mediocre committment to His plan for your life ........please don't get seduced into thinking that this is good enough.Either JESUS IS LORD or He IS NOT! But for Jesus' sake & your own , even a lost world's sake get with it and go for the real benchmark of Discipleship : MARK 8:34-38(Msg)''CALLING THE CROWD TO JOIN HIS DISCIPLES , JESUS SAID,''ANYONE WHO INTENDS TO COME WITH ME HAS TO LET ME LEAD . YOU'RE NOT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT : I AM (JESUS). DON'T RUN FROM SUFFERING;EMBRACE IT. FOLLOW ME & I'LL SHOW YOU HOW. SELF -HELP IS NO HELP AT ALL.SELF-SACRIFICE IS THE WAY ,MY WAY ,TO SAVING YOURSELF,YOUR TRUE SELF. WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO TO GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT & LOSE YOU, THE REAL YOU?WHAT COULD YOU EVER TRADE YOUR SOUL FOR?"
No plan " B" friends not now , not ever .....JESUS says it , I believe it & for me that just about settles it. ....!
Praying for you all today .
P.S.The Training College experience ....to train as an OFFICER in The SalvationArmy is actually a "GREAT EXPERIENCE"not at all an "incarceration experience " as someone has suggested in a recent " On Fire' article .

WITHOUT A SPECIFIC GOD GIVEN VISION PEOPLE PERISH

Proverbs 29:18 says :' 'WHERE THERE IS NO VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH, THOSE WHO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD , HAPPY , FORTUNATE AND ENVIABLE ARE THEY."Another translation says : " WHERE THERE IS NO VISION , PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT...'' If you don't live by a specific Holy Spirit inspired vision you will end up being controlled by life's challenges. Life cannot simply be about responding to problems , it must be about pursuing God's vision for your life in partnership with Him and others depending on where their prayer life is will either get it or sadly not. The key to a successful Kingdom order life is to prayerfully live , move and have your being in the places God requires you to be , and there are very few who are called to stay exactly where they are . The Gospel speaks of only one or two who after offering themselves, stayed , most went as Jesus required them to. The key dear readers is to live every day with a compelling VISION .... VISION....VISION. Buckle up, God has a vision for you today , please don't use the excuse I don't know what that is. If you were even in the Word for a short time you would know , I really think the challenge is more to be obedient to what the Spirit of God has already called you to do ! So are you going to be a VISIONARY or a stagnant pool . As for me I wish to be part of the answer and not the ongoing problem , how about you ?????Read it again in differing translations : ''WITHOUT PROPHECY PEOPLE BECOME DEMORALISED. WHERE THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES, THE PEOPLE RUN RIOT. WHERE THERE IS NO WORD FROM GOD, THE PEOPLE ARE UNCONTROLLED. WHERE THERE IS IGNORANCE OF GOD, THE PEOPLE RUN WILD. WHERE THERE IS NO VISION...VISION....VISION...PEOPLE PERISH. Jesus needs you to please be faithful !!!!
