BUILDING ACCORDING TO GOD'S PATTERN
KEY VERSE:
"According to all that I am showing you- the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all it's furnishings, you must make it exactly so" (Exodus 25:9)
MESSAGE:
God has His own way of carrying out His projects. Man has methods he uses and the devil has his own strategies too. Sometimes God gives holistic and comprehensive directives on how to go about things. Other times, He can allow your discretion ad Saul was told, "When these things are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee" (1Sam. 10:7). When God gives directives, He means it to be strictly obeyed and when you do, you get the best out of it. Make no exception when He makes none, as He told Saul to kill the Amalekites but he killed some and used his discretion. It became the root of his failure. When one is building according to God's pattern, the Lord will take over. In our text above, the prophet from Judah was given specific instruction and he understood it. As long as he was building according to what was told him, he was indestructible even by the king. Immediately he was misled, he lost his personal immunity, an animal finished him up. When we begin to build by our pattern, we do not harm God but definitely ourselves.
A dear brother was praying for financial blessings at Abuja, the Lord told him to go and wash the church toilet. He could not see an affinity between financial blessings and toilet washing. He continued to pray; God directed him to see the Pastor and Volunteer to clean the toilets as his service to God. He mustered courage and told the Pastor and the approval was given him. As he started, he acquired skills and material information for the service. One day a big brother saw him on the act and asked if he had a card, he told him he had none there. He went home and printed business cards and began extending it to members. Soon after, people started giving him retainership and money started coming and now he no longer washes but only supervises. The money had equally come.
What is that God's or godly instruction that you have been looking down on? Pick it up today, do it exactly as the Lord commands. The end result will be tremendous.
Note When we build according to God's pattern, He takes over.
