Making A Plan To Improve The Church And Your Life 9•7•25

In this message titled “Making a Plan to Improve the Church and Your Life”, Apostle Gregory Kelley teaches that life without a plan is simply drifting without direction. He outlines biblical principles for creating intentional plans, starting with dissatisfaction in one’s current situation and shifting inward to adjust personal attitudes. Apostle Kelley emphasizes the importance of writing down a clear, simple plan because no one drifts into a better future. He reminds us that God Himself makes plans (Jeremiah 29:11), commands His people to plan (Proverbs 4:26), and views planning as an act of stewardship that prevents us from wasting our lives (Ephesians 5:15-17).

Drawing lessons from Nehemiah’s rebuilding of the wall, Apostle Kelley presents seven steps for effective planning: pray for God’s favor, prepare for opportunities, face fear with courage, establish clear targets, set deadlines, anticipate barriers, and trust God to supply every need. He stresses that leaders must be willing to ask for help and believers must make plans so bold that only God can bring them to pass. By combining biblical wisdom with practical guidance, Apostle Kelley shows how intentional planning leads to growth, protection, provision, and ultimately, a life aligned with God’s purpose.
