THE P-6 RULE

A preacher, back in the day, had preached a sermon with the title above. For a while, he kept on emphasizing on how people make New Year resolutions, how pumped up and excited they get on New Year’s Day. They have this vision of innumerable achievements and how all they have resolved to do will make their life better. He went on to state that some people stick to their resolutions and follow it tenaciously to the end. For most, he noted sadly, they fall short in the second week of the second month. That he said was where he had a problem with resolutions.
Most people make resolutions to serve as a guide for the New Year. Others make resolutions to look and sound organized. And then there are a few who make resolutions because their friend made one; to each his own.
One point of the message on that faithful day was that, people who make resolutions often do not have a plan to execute. They meet with challenges and obstacles along they way and have no motivation or back up plan. They just run along till the gas tank is empty.
Did you make a resolution this year? Do you have a plan b, plan c and plan d just in case you are faced with a challenge and have not the courage to move on?
The crux of the matter is this; failing to plan is planning to fail. The p-6 rule states “Proper Prayerful Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.”
May God guide us all this year.
