A city built by the Lord

 

Text: Psalms 127:1 (KJV)

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Friends, I hope you still remember that you are a building? If Yes, who is your builder? Also, don’t forget, we all have a building, and that building is us because we are God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9b (GNT) – And you are God’s field. You are also God’s building. We know that in every building, there is always someone who is the master planner, think of it like an architect who has the plan of the building, and he/she is guiding and supervising the building until it is completed. The same goes for us as God’s building because we need someone to guide, supervise, and correct us whenever there is an error in the plan, and that person is GOD. So don’t askpeople to go to other sources searching for a master planner, but all their effort are usually in vain because except the Lord builds and keeps that building, the watchman’s effort is all in vain. We need to realize this early and fast, so as not to struggle with our building or plan.

The amazing part is that this great master planner, God, does not sleep nor slumber; He already has the plans for our building even before we were formed, and He is always with us even after we are done building. Psalms 121:4- Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Jeremiah 1:5- Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.The watchman or the other planners will sleep and slumber at night, and they plan based on what you tell them, but God already has the plan, and His aim is for us to enjoy our building and have peace and sound sleep. All we just need to do is to follow Him, and He will fight and remove all those unwanted plans. Exodus 14:14- The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.I tell you, there is nothing greater than this builder, so why don’t you allow Him today and stop toiling and labouring in vain because your energy cannot keep the city glorious in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, help us to continually build with the master so as not to labour in vain, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: It is never late to be rooted and grounded with our master Jesus.
