Plan and Budget

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To plan is to prepare for an event, a job interview, a career, a wedding, a business, an unborn child, a house; you just name it. The essence of a plan is that it gives you the overall or at least important details to guide you in decision making, in resource mobilization and actual implementation of whatever it is you are setting out to do. The Lord Jesus made this clear when He noted that whoever embarks on the building of a house must first investigate the cost of putting together the house just as whoever intends on going to battle must weigh the cost of going to battle before embarking on such a pursuit. To plan then also means to investigate, do feasibility studies that will enable you come with not only a budget but also means of raising the required resources. 

The building of the temple was planned.  King David received the temple pattern and gave it to his son, Solomon.  And even before Solomon commenced building, David made financial and material preparations for the building of the temple.  He gave money and materials for the building of the temple.  Thereafter, David asked the people to contribute.  Willingly, they did so and everything was handed over to King Solomon who succeeded his father David as King of Israel. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 28: 10-21; 29: 1-9; 2nd Chronicles Chapters 2 to 5.

King Solomon built wisely according to plan.  He made the necessary contacts and did things one at a time.  He did not rush.  He patiently awaited God’s timing, contacts and resources. God did not fail him.  Everything he needed was provided for.  And where he had to trade certain resources for others, he willingly and gladly did so. Please see 2^nd Chronicles 2.

To step up your game implies that you have already have an ongoing game. But wherever you are in that game and irrespective of whatever successes you have achieved, you still have more ground to cover as you have not seen your best days yet. Therefore, take a quality decision to step up your game. How, you may ask. 

Be more diligent in whatever God assigned you to do on planet earth. The widow of the indebted prophet was asked to SELL the Oil she had, PAY her Debts and LIVE on the Rest. Please take note of the Key phrases such as a jar of oil, GO implying that she should move, possibly from her comfort zone as well as act. Additionally, she was asked to borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbours. The prophet was very specific in his instructions to the widow; she was to borrow vessels from everywhere, all her neighbours, and significantly, empty vessels in large quantities (many, as many as you can borrow. She was also to shut the door behind her (avoid distractions, run away from them; focus, concentrate on what has to be done). Pour the jar of oil into all the vessels, and as each vessel is filled, set it aside so that you have the filled vessels on one side and the empty vessels on one side. The widow followed through on every one of the instructions and significantly became not only debt free but financially free for the rest of her life. 

The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 consistently stretched out the curtains to enlarge her tent in about every area of life – as a child of God, as a wife, as a mother, as a mistress and leader in the home, as a business woman and as an individual in her community.  She diligently and intelligently stretched out her curtains, reinvesting profits in diverse businesses; always considering the implications of doing so. She is a role model.
