  2. and have a starpled international commercy for our morning glory devotion.

  3. We are glad that you are able to join us.

  4. This is Pasta and Missus Almasa facilitating today's episode. Let

  5. us pray, Lord Jesus, we thank you for this opportunity

  6. to hear your word. We pray that you open our

  7. hearts to receive your word and grant us the faith

  8. to go out there to practice it in Jesus name,

  9. Amen beloved. Let's take our confession from Joshua chapter one,

  10. the verse eight. This book of the Law shall not

  11. depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in

  12. it day and night, that I be observed to do

  13. according to all that is written in it. For then

  14. I'll make my way prosperous, and then I will have

  15. good success, Amen beloved. The topic for today is building

  16. according to the Pattern Part two, and our scripture readings

  17. will be taken from First some More chapter fifteen the

  18. verse twenty two and Proverabs chapter three the verse five

  19. and six. First sam Will fifteen the verse twenty two.

  20. As the Lord Great delight in burned offerends and sacrifices,

  21. being the voice of the Lord. Behold, to obey is

  22. better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fact of

  23. Walms Proverabs Chapter three, the verst five to six. Trust

  24. in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not

  25. on your own understanding. In all your ways. Acknowledge Him,

  26. and he shall direct your path. Amen. Building according to

  27. the pattern Part two. In our previous episode, we lend

  28. that God is a master builder. We examine that God

  29. assigns tax to each of us, providing the perfect blueprint

  30. for its completion. Success hinges on our faith, trust, and

  31. obedience in executing his divine plan, as exemplified by Noah

  32. and Moses. We concluded that we are stewards, not co designers,

  33. and that we should submit our understanding to God's in

  34. finite wisdom. Today's lesson will focus on the warning not

  35. to do things our we and the rewards for doing

  36. things God will the idea that we cannot save God

  37. on our own terms. Beloved, we are all tempted to

  38. think that we can manage and execute the divine assignment

  39. our we or modify certain features to suit our wishes.

  40. We look at the divine pattern, which often requires faith

  41. patience and great humility, and then we decide that we

  42. know better, a faster and a more efficient way to

  43. get it done. But be beloved, God is not a

  44. god of short cuts. This temptation to substitute our methods

  45. for God's clare instruction is real, and the consequences, as

  46. seen in the scriptures, it can be profound. Think back

  47. to the beginning. The first man was given a simple directive,

  48. but he made a choice to defeat, which led to

  49. the loss of Paradise. Later we read about Cain and Abel,

  50. two brothers who offered sacrifices, but only one adhered to

  51. the Lord's required method. Even the great leader Moses, who

  52. was destined to deliver a nation, learned this lesson through

  53. forty years in the wilderness. He had initially tried to

  54. achieve God's purpose through his own military mind and power,

  55. but the Lord completely rejected his approach. In the Lord's mind,

  56. the nation's liberty had to be accomplished by his methods.

  57. As we have learned, all things God has committed into

  58. our hands, our projects designed and owned by Him. When

  59. we attempt to do things using worldly advice or self

  60. centered ideas rather than the law's instructions, the structure, and

  61. the assignment feels. As believers and as ministers, we cannot

  62. turn our calling into a platform for personal fame trying

  63. to import worldly ideas into what we have been called

  64. to do. We may get some kind of results, but

  65. they will not bear the fruit God is looking for.

  66. So a king chosen by God learned this painful listen.

  67. Listening to the voice of the people over the clear

  68. commandment the Lord had given resulted in his rejection, a

  69. man who started so well but failed in the end. Beloved,

  70. when we choose our way over his, we are essentially

  71. saying God, I think I can do this better. We

  72. must remember the tragic examples of those who tried to

  73. save God with methods he did not endorse. The message

  74. is clear, as success is tied sorely to his prescribed way.

  75. Jesus followed God's script to the last detail. In the end,

  76. he was crowned and he was rewarded. When we choose

  77. God's way, we grow in intimacy and fellowship with him.

  78. We grab wit through different levels of success, and ultimately

  79. we prove God's good and perfect will. Beloved, be determined

  80. to do things God's way, just corporate and receive good

  81. success in everything you do. Amen. God bless you. Let's

  82. take our memory verirse for the morning from Proverbs chapter three,

  83. the verse five. Proverbs Chapter three, the verse five. Trust

  84. in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not

  85. on your own understanding. Trust in the Lord with all

  86. your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Amen.

  87. Let us pray, Father, we thank you for calling us

  88. into this great assignment. We pray that will continue to

  89. cooperate with you and do things just as you have

  90. access to do, so that we can have good success. Amen.

  91. God bless you for connecting and listening to today's episode.

  92. We know that you have been blessed. Encourage you to

  93. stay connected for more spirit filled episodes of our Morning

  94. Glory devotion. Shaloon and have a blessed day, Amen,
