-
but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

I may observe 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. The topic
-
for today is building according to the Pattern, Part one.
-
Building according to the Pattern Part one. Our scripture reading
-
will be from Genesis to the sixth there's thirteen to seventeen.
-
And God said to Noah, the end of all flesh
-
has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence.
-
Through them, and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
-
Make yourself an ac of gopher wood. Make rooms in
-
the ak, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
-
And this is how you shall make it. Length of
-
the ark shall be three hundred cubits. It's worth fifty cubits,
-
and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window
-
for the ak, and you shall finish it a cubit
-
from above, and set the door of the ak in
-
its side. You shall make it with lower, second and
-
third decks. And behold, I myself am bringing flat waters
-
on the earth to destroy from under the earth or flesh,
-
in which is the breath of life. Everything that is
-
on earth shall die. But I shall establish my covenant
-
with you, and you shall go into the ark. You,
-
your sons, your wife, and your son's wives with you. Amen,
-
Building according to the pattern pat one, beloved, We are
-
all on a divine assignment. Each of our lives, our relationships,
-
our weak are all projects owned by God, who is
-
the Master. The truth us revealed and taught through the scriptures,
-
is that when God calls us to a task, whether
-
great or small, he provides a perfect pattern and a
-
blueprint for its completion. We sometimes approach life's ventures with
-
the assumption we can do things by ourselves and do
-
things our own way. We assume that our wisdom, experience,
-
and our best plans are sufficient and can get us there. Yet, Beloved,
-
the Bible reminds us that the Lord's thoughts are vastly
-
superior to ours. His ways are above anything we could conceive.
-
He is the ultimate project owner, who defines the termes
-
and sets the rules. He has the grand plan in him.
-
He literally is not open to new ideas. God is
-
not looking for our suggestions to improve his design or outcomes.
-
What he is looking for is our faith, trust, and
-
obedience in corporation to execute his beautiful blueprint. We are
-
not the first persons God has called and commissioned on
-
any assignment. God called Noah and gave him a great assignment.
-
When God called him to undertake this immense construction project,
-
he didn't leave Noah to design and build with his
-
own ideas. If he had done this, the art project
-
would have failed and would not have been able to
-
achieve its purpose. What God did was that he provided
-
meticulous and detailed instructions for every dimension and material. Noah's success,
-
which led to the salvation of his family and all mankind.
-
Hinged entirely on one thing, Noah's obedience to the divine specifications.
-
Noah had to trust that the divine instruction was good
-
and perfect, even when it seemed unconventional to the world
-
at the time. When God called Moses and Israel to
-
build a dwelling place on the Exodus journey, the same
-
principle applied. Moses could not rely on his experiences from
-
the Palace of far neither was he allowed to borrow
-
ideas from the tribes around Israel at the time. Rather,
-
leah by leah, step by step, God gave him the
-
heavenly design for the project which was to host his presence.
-
We are sometimes tempted to see ourselves as core designs. Rather,
-
we are mere stewards on this grand project of life
-
and faith. The Bible is instructive in roman Statter twelve,
-
verse three that none of us should think more highly
-
of ourselves than we ought to. We are vessels privileged
-
to be used by the Almighty to accomplish his will
-
on earth. Our primary role is not to make a
-
name for ourselves or take any credit, but to wholeheartedly
-
embrace the wonderful truth that we are here to do
-
His will. Building according to God's pattern means recognizing that
-
His nature demands things to be done his wi. This
-
is an act of worship, submitting our limited understanding to
-
His infinite wisdom, guaranteeing that the foundation we lay a solid, secure,
-
and eternal. If we desire to be successful, then Beloved,
-
let us build according to the pattern and trust God's
-
way as the only way. In God we have one
-
one hundred percent success rate. Amen. Or take our memory
-
verse from Genesis chapter six, the verse twenty two. Thus
-
know what did according to all that God commanded him?
-
So he did? Thus know what did according to all
-
that God commanded him? So he did? Amen? Let us pray, Father,
-
we thank you for your wedding season. We pray that
-
you will help us to continue to obey, trust and
-
corporate with your divine instructions as we undertake our life
-
shourney and all the assignments that you have given us.
-
Give us success as we do so in Jesus name. Amen.
-

-
