Shallon. Beloved God, bless you for connecting with us here
-
and have a starpled international commercy for our morning glory devotion.
-
We are glad that you are able to join us.
-
This is Pasta and Missus Almasa facilitating today's episode. Let
-
us pray, Lord Jesus, we thank you for this opportunity
-
to hear your word. We pray that you open our
-
hearts to receive your word and grant us the faith
-
to go out there to practice it in Jesus name,
-
Amen beloved. Let's take our confession from Joshua chapter one,
-
the verse eight. This book of the Law shall not
-
depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in
-
it day and night, that I be observed to do
-
according to all that is written in it. For then
-
I'll make my way prosperous, and then I will have
-
good success, Amen beloved. The topic for today is building
-
according to the Pattern Part two, and our scripture readings
-
will be taken from First some More chapter fifteen the
-
verse twenty two and Proverabs chapter three the verse five
-
and six. First sam Will fifteen the verse twenty two.
-
As the Lord Great delight in burned offerends and sacrifices,
-
being the voice of the Lord. Behold, to obey is
-
better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fact of
-
Walms Proverabs Chapter three, the verst five to six. 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 path. Amen. Building according to
-
the pattern Part two. In our previous episode, we lend
-
that God is a master builder. We examine that God
-
assigns tax to each of us, providing the perfect blueprint
-
for its completion. Success hinges on our faith, trust, and
-
obedience in executing his divine plan, as exemplified by Noah
-
and Moses. We concluded that we are stewards, not co designers,
-
and that we should submit our understanding to God's in
-
finite wisdom. Today's lesson will focus on the warning not
-
to do things our we and the rewards for doing
-
things God will the idea that we cannot save God
-
on our own terms. Beloved, we are all tempted to
-
think that we can manage and execute the divine assignment
-
our we or modify certain features to suit our wishes.
-
We look at the divine pattern, which often requires faith
-
patience and great humility, and then we decide that we
-
know better, a faster and a more efficient way to
-
get it done. But be beloved, God is not a
-
god of short cuts. This temptation to substitute our methods
-
for God's clare instruction is real, and the consequences, as
-
seen in the scriptures, it can be profound. Think back
-
to the beginning. The first man was given a simple directive,
-
but he made a choice to defeat, which led to
-
the loss of Paradise. Later we read about Cain and Abel,
-
two brothers who offered sacrifices, but only one adhered to
-
the Lord's required method. Even the great leader Moses, who
-
was destined to deliver a nation, learned this lesson through
-
forty years in the wilderness. He had initially tried to
-
achieve God's purpose through his own military mind and power,
-
but the Lord completely rejected his approach. In the Lord's mind,
-
the nation's liberty had to be accomplished by his methods.
-
As we have learned, all things God has committed into
-
our hands, our projects designed and owned by Him. When
-
we attempt to do things using worldly advice or self
-
centered ideas rather than the law's instructions, the structure, and
-
the assignment feels. As believers and as ministers, we cannot
-
turn our calling into a platform for personal fame trying
-
to import worldly ideas into what we have been called
-
to do. We may get some kind of results, but
-
they will not bear the fruit God is looking for.
-
So a king chosen by God learned this painful listen.
-
Listening to the voice of the people over the clear
-
commandment the Lord had given resulted in his rejection, a
-
man who started so well but failed in the end. Beloved,
-
when we choose our way over his, we are essentially
-
saying God, I think I can do this better. We
-
must remember the tragic examples of those who tried to
-
save God with methods he did not endorse. The message
-
is clear, as success is tied sorely to his prescribed way.
-
Jesus followed God's script to the last detail. In the end,
-
he was crowned and he was rewarded. When we choose
-
God's way, we grow in intimacy and fellowship with him.
-
We grab wit through different levels of success, and ultimately
-
we prove God's good and perfect will. Beloved, be determined
-
to do things God's way, just corporate and receive good
-
success in everything you do. Amen. God bless you. Let's
-
take our memory verirse for the morning from Proverbs chapter three,
-
the verse five. Proverbs Chapter three, the verse five. Trust
-
in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not
-
on your own understanding. Trust in the Lord with all
-
your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Amen.
-
Let us pray, Father, we thank you for calling us
-
into this great assignment. We pray that will continue to
-
cooperate with you and do things just as you have
-
access to do, so that we can have good success. Amen.
-
God bless you for connecting and listening to today's episode.
-
We know that you have been blessed. Encourage you to
-
stay connected for more spirit filled episodes of our Morning
-
Glory devotion. Shaloon and have a blessed day, Amen,
