BUILDING RIGHT TO GET THE GOD RESULT.

By John Ollis

Have you ever tried to put together  a “flat pack” object? I haven’t as I am just not that bright when it comes to those things. I am sure you have heard of horrendous stories of people’s difficulties and failures, perhaps partly dues to the poor directions that came with the article, or a piece missing, plus of course the success stories of a perfect end result. I have said all that to ask you.

HOW ARE YOU BUILDING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE?

If life seems difficult, I guess there are at least two answers, either the fact that as Paul says in Romans 8:28 NKJV And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose, and the Lord is testing you and encouraging you to respond to His dealings in your life, or you are not:

BUILDING ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN (DIRECTIONS) OF THE WORD OF GOD

God told Moses in Exodus 25:40 NKJV And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.
God told King David in 1 Chronicles 28:12NKJV  to build according to all that He had been shown by the Spirit.
My readers know that I have written regarding this topic before, in a sense I didn’t want to repeat myself (even though repetition is an essential form of teaching). So can I ask you?
Are you reading the Word?
Do you know the (pattern) directions?
Are you following the (pattern) directions?
Do you have a Mentor?
May the Lord help to “build according the pattern.
