Topic: “THE PLAN PRECEDES THE PROBLEM, NOT AN AFTER THOUGHT“
Text: Revelation 13:1-10
Memory Verse: “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” Revelation 13:8.
With great joy, you are welcomed into the last month of the year 2025. It has been God all the way and to Him be all glory and adoration. In the next few days, we will be considering the eternal and intelligent salvation plan and the strategic execution of that plan in a progressive manner until the fullness of time. We will explore how God’s eternal redemptive plan moved from intention to manifestation in Christ – the Incarnation.
God’s redemption plan was not an afterthought, it was eternal. The plan precedes the problem: before creation, before time, before sin ever entered the world, there was a plan to redeem man. Revelation 13:8 reveals that Jesus, the Lamb of God, was already “slain” in the mind and purpose of God before the world was formed. This does not mean that the crucifixion physically happened before time, but that in God’s eternal counsel, redemption was certain. The Incarnation, God becoming flesh in Jesus, was not a divine reaction to a problem, but the visible outworking of an eternal purpose and plan.
All our days are open before him, even before our conception. Nothing about us will catch God off guard, He anticipated our brokenness and prepared a solution long before we were born. Always remember that God eternally has a plan for every aspect of your life (Jer. 29:11-13; 33:3).
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your eternal love and Your plan for my redemption even before I ever existed. Deepen my trust in You, knowing You always have a plan in Jesus’ name, Amen.
