Be Cool, God Is in the Plan

Subtitle: Discovering Peace Through Obedience and Trust in God’s Divine Strategy

Opening Prayer

Father, as I come before You, I give You all the glory and the honor. I exalt You, and I magnify Your name. I ask forgiveness of sin as I stand before Your people. Use my mouth for Your glory. Let every word build up and edify Your people. I declare it in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Introduction

Welcome to the start of a brand-new series entitled “Be Cool, God Is in the Plan.” I’m truly excited about this message because it speaks to real-life situations that challenge our faith. Many of us have found ourselves in moments of confusion, chaos, or crisis—and yet, there’s a calm assurance in knowing that God has a plan.

Whenever you face an unexpected trial or a stressful moment, I want you to hear my voice in your heart saying, “Be cool—God is in the plan.”

God’s Divine Benefit Package

One powerful truth we must embrace as believers is this: God has a benefit package—but it’s designed specifically for His sons and daughters. That means it’s for those who have accepted Him and walk in obedience.

Let’s be honest. We weren’t always believers. At some point, we all needed God’s grace and mercy (Ephesians 2:4–5). That’s what sustained us before we gave our lives to Christ. His mercy held us until His grace saved us.

Salvation is the beginning—but walking in obedience is the continuation.

Radical Transformation Through Obedience

When I received salvation, the change in me was so radical that even my father took notice and gave his life to Christ. That’s the power of transformation when you yield to God’s plan. It’s not just about claiming Christianity—it’s about living it out through obedience.

Obedience is what unlocks the benefit package God offers. It’s not enough to just say you believe. James 2:17 reminds us that faith without works is dead. That means faith must be active, demonstrated through obedience.

The Real Priority: Obedience Over Everything

Many believe that faith is the greatest spiritual attribute, and while faith is essential, let me challenge you with this thought: obedience is even greater.

Here’s why:

  • You need obedience to be saved.

  • You need obedience to follow God’s commands.

  • You need obedience to receive God’s promises.

Jesus Himself said in John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

The greatest display of faith is not just belief but obedient action—doing what God says even when it doesn’t make sense.

God’s Plan Doesn’t Fail—We Just Need to Follow

Have you ever heard someone say, “You had one job!”?
Well, our one job as believers is simple: obey God.

Obedience is the gateway to peace, provision, and protection. When you align with God’s instructions, you don’t have to fear what’s next. Even when life looks chaotic, your confidence is in the plan of God, not in the circumstances.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Conclusion

When life gets confusing, remember this: Be cool. God is in the plan. You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to trust and obey. The benefit package is waiting—activate it through obedience.
