TEXT: PSALM 127: 1
Unless the Lord builds
the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
God
talk to His children through different means and channels. He relates with you
with what you are conversant with, for instance; God can communicate the same
message to people in different professions with examples and illustrations in
line with their profession. For example, God can use different illustrations to
explain a message to a teacher and a doctor. If you love playing golf, His
illustration to you will be golf related. God’s illustration will always be
from what you know and can relate with, He will not use something that is out
of the blues to explain things to you, because He wants you to get the right
understanding of what He is talking about. Therefore God has His way of
expressing Himself to people by using different illustrations best known to the
person He’s communicating with. God’s wisdom is unfathomable!
At
my free time, when I feel like taking a break from work, I love to unwind by playing
a particular game. The game has different levels, to move to the next level,
you have to perform well and score high point. I do not play the game constantly,
but only when I needed to have a break from writing or typing. There was a
particular level that I got to that requires unlocking a key before I would get
to the next level. I tried all I could to unlock this key, yet I was unable to
do so, despite my effort and high scores.
I
spent weeks (since I don’t play the game often) trying to achieve my purpose,
with high scores, yet I was unable to unlock the key despite all effort, and
techniques devised. All was to no avail. As I was determined to unlock the key
to go to the next level, the Holy Spirit ministered to me using the game!
The
Lord used the game to explain to me how human beings struggle to achieve
greatness with human efforts and wisdom, with little or nothing to show for it.
I was trying all human wisdom and effort to get to the next level, yet my
effort was thwarted because I could not unlock the key that will take me to the
next level. The Holy Spirit made me to see how human beings struggle to get to
the next level of their life, by applying all human strength and wisdom,
coupled with the best instrument, tools, and technique. Instead of getting to
the next level, they meet with obstacles and walls of limitation.
The
Holy Spirit made me to see that human effort is futile without the help of God.
You cannot get to the next level of your life without God. It is God that will
give you the key that will unlock your passage to the next level. Without this
key, progress will be impeded regardless of the effort, tools and techniques. Ask
God for the master key that will take you to your next level. I pray that the
key that will unlock the door to our will not be stolen by Satan and his
cohorts in Jesus name.
