‘Anointed Common Sense.’
1 Corinthians 16:5-9.
Apostle Paul had a ministry plan and he tried to keep to it. In the very simple days of the New Testament Church if Christian Leaders had ministry plans how much more necessary are they in these complicated days?
a) 1 Corinthians 16:5. He planned to visit Corinth after going through Macedonia.
b) 1 Corinthians 16:6. He wanted to stay for some time with the Corinthian Church and be sent out by them. He wanted a “sending Church”.
c) 1 Corinthians 16:7. He committed everything to what the Lord allowed.
d) 1 Corinthians 16:8-9. He wanted to remain in Ephesus for a while for a great and effective door of ministry was open to him there. He wanted to be where God was using him obviously.
(Through this QT I find through Apostle Paul’s life Anointed Common Sense)

‘The Benefits That Come Through Giving Thanks To God.’
a) Psalm 116:12-13. We can call on the Name of the Lord.
b) Psalm 50:14-15. We can call upon Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver us and honour us.
c) Psalm 50:23. We can be shown the Salvation of God.
(This Second one reveals to me The Benefits That Come Through Giving Thanks To God)

Chris.
Apostle Paul made plans but those plans were not his security – his security was in God. That is why He was able to commit everything to what the Lord allowed. It is sensible and reasonable to make Ministry plans but we still need to commit everything to God.
