MGD: A City Whose Builder is God - 4

Shalom, dear one. You are warmly welcome to today's Morning

Glory devotion. I am excited to come your way again

with another inspired devotional written by Sarima and Rables Jabin

from Harvest Chapel International, Denyami, Kumasi. Let us begin by

sharing a word of prayer. Lord Jesus, thank you for

the free gift of salvation and the opportunity to be

transformed by your word. As we listen to your words,

let our minds be renewed and may we become more

and more like you. Amen. Let us kindly take our

confession for today. From Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. Joshua

Joshua 1:8 Joshua 1:8

1 verse 8 This book of the law shall not

depart from my mouth, 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

will make my way prosperous, and then I will have

good success. Amen. Today's message written by Sarima and Rabbo's

Jabin is titled, A City Whose Builder Is God, Part 4,

Incredible Stories. A City Whose Builder Is God, Part 4,

Incredible Stories. The memory verse would be from Hebrews 11,

Hebrews 11:8

verse 8. Hebrews 11, verse 8. And so from this

Hebrews 11:8

one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants

as numerous as the stars in the sky, and as

countless as the sand on the seashore. Amen. A City

Whose Builder Is God Part 4 Incredible Stories In 2009,

James Cameron's sci-fi movie, Avatar, was released. It is set

in the year 2154 on a depleted Earth where humans

travel to Pandora, a moon of another planet, to mine

a rare superconductor called Unoptonium. Pandora is lush and home

to a humanoid people called the Navi. but its atmosphere

is toxic to humans. So scientists create navi-human hybrid bodies

called avatars, which human pilots control with their minds. The

story follows a paraplegic former soldier who takes his twin

brother's place on the mission. The film did tremendously well.

It remains the highest-grossing movie of all time. earning $ 2. 92

billion worldwide. I recently went looking for what might explain

that success, and I found that many of the highest-grossing

films share a pattern. Adventures on alien worlds, superheroes, and

epic battles with godlike characters. Something in these stories speaks

to a longing in the human heart. A longing for

more than what the ordinary course of life promises. A

longing for something otherworldly. Beloved, that longing is in your

heart as much as mine. Scripture even explains it. God

has set eternity in the human heart. Ecclesiastes 3.11 But

the children of God do not have to settle for

make-believe worlds on a cinema screen. The Bible is full

of incredible stories scripted by God himself and lived by

ordinary people. Gideon and his 300 men routed an army,

Judges 7. Shamgar struck down 600 Philistines with an ox god,

Judges 3.31. And consider Abraham. He was as good as dead.

Yet from him came descendants as numerous as the stars

in the sky and as countless as the sand on

the seashore. These are not made-believe pictures. What is more,

there is an invitation to each of us. God is

calling you and me to live out the script he

has written about us An incredible journey towards a city

whose builder is God. Friend, do you want that deep-seated

desire for an incredible life fulfilled? All you need to

do is say yes to the role he has given you. Amen.

Our memory verse is from Hebrews chapter 11 verse 12.

Hebrews 11:12

Hebrews 11 verse 12 from the NIV. And so from

Hebrews 11:12

this one man, and he as good as dead, came

descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and

as countless as the sand on the seashore. Amen. Let

us please share a word of prayer. Dear Lord, Thank

you for speaking to us today through your word. Please

cause us to see the path you've created for us

and help us to follow you on that path. In

Jesus' name, amen. God richly bless you for staying through

the devotion. Kindly join us again for another spirit-filled episode tomorrow.

Until we come your way again, stay blessed. Shalom.
