🌟 Introduction: What Is a Plan?
Have you ever packed your school bag the night before or made a to-do list of chores? That’s called planning—and it’s something even God wants us to do! 🙌
A great teacher named Bishop David Abioye once said,
“Planning is laying out your future before starting and arriving there.”
That means before you start anything big—like school, a new habit, or even making friends—you should think ahead, pray, and write it down! ✍️
🚦 1. A Plan Helps You Know Where You’re Going
Imagine walking into a huge park with no map and no clue where the swings are. You’d get lost, right? A plan is like a map for your life.
📖 Proverbs 16:9 says,
“A person plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”
When you have a plan and pray about it, God helps guide you like a GPS!
💪 2. A Plan Makes You Brave
Do you sometimes feel nervous before a test or a big game? Having a plan makes you more confident.
Bishop Abioye said,
“Planning gives you assurance. Planning makes you bold.”
That means when you study ahead, practice early, and pray daily—you can face anything with courage! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
🎯 3. A Plan Works for Everyone!
Whether you’re 7 or 17, planning is for YOU. It’s not just for adults.
You can plan:
- What time to pray 🙏
- When to do homework 📚
- How to save your lunch money for something big 💰
Jesus said in Luke 14:28 that wise people count the cost before building anything. That means think first, then act.
⏳ 4. A Plan Saves Time and Energy
Ever wasted time looking for your lost socks? 😅 When you plan ahead, you don’t waste time.
If you decide what to wear, pack your bag, and know your chores for the day—you’ll have more fun time left!

💰 5. A Plan Helps You Handle Money Wisely
Do you get pocket money or lunch money? Planning can help you:
- Give to church or missions 🙌
- Save for a special toy 🎁
- Help someone in need 🤲
Bishop Abioye said,
“I’ve kept personal accounts since 1991.”
If he can do that, so can we! Start by writing what you spend and what you save.

God wants us to dream big and plan well. Even Jesus had a plan to save the world—and He followed it all the way to the cross and the empty tomb! ✝️
