EXCEPT THE LORD BUILDS A HOUSE


MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 127:1, “Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”

In the passage above, we can see the futility of self-reliance and the foolishness of self-sufficiency. It proves that no one can achieve anything meaningful and lasting by its own power, everyone needs backup from a higher power. This also brings to mind the scripture that says, “It is the Lord your God that gives you power to get wealth” Deuteronomy 8:18:

Indeed our sufficiency is of God for it is He who gives us the grace to achieve anything in life. You may have great dreams, awesome visions and goals and you maybe doing everything within your power to reach them, but the truth is that, your human ability to achieve anything outside God's power and grace is limited. Except the Lord help you in building that vision, goal or dreams; your efforts will be fruitless.

Understand that reverencing, depending and trusting in God in all we do is the ultimate thing in life. For when we trust wholly in God, it shows we recognize His Sovereignty over all the affairs of our life, and it proves our submission and loyalty to Him.

No matter the level of success you may have attained or you aspire to attain, without God being in it, it is meaningless because anything you do without reverence to the Sovereignty of God who is the chief builder is worthless, vain and vanity. For whatever you do must be done to the glory of God.

When we recognize the Sovereignty of God as the chief builder, we are giving Him His place as our Lord and Master; and our portion in this life, just as the scripture says, “The Lord is my portion in the land of the living” (Psalm 142:5). Until the Lord becomes your portion, you are empty and all your accomplishment is vain.


PRAYER
Lord I thank you for who you are. This day, I put my whole trust in you to help me in life. Help me in all that I do. Watch over me and all that concerns me, in Jesus name, Amen.

TAKE AWAY ALL IDOLS PT 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 35:4 - "And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem." Now, Somebody may say, I don't have any physical image of anything carved as a god so, I have no idol..... Listen, there are many things that constitute an idol in one's lives. E.g: when you make the things you possess more important than God, it is an idol.  When you value money more than God, it is an idol. When you trust man or believe in man more than your trust in God, it is an idol. it is an idol. It is known as the idol of the heart in God's sight.

Paul in Colossians 3:5, admonished us to put out of our lives things that can be idols to us, "Put to death therefore what...

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational GO BEYOND BOUNDARY MEMORY VERSE: - Micah 2:13 - “He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head"   To 'Go' is to make a movement, while 'beyond' is to stretch more than usual, it's to go further, to go farther than normal, to go over the above limits. Boundaries are limitations, or confines. It is something that indicates or fixes a limit to one's life.

  YOU ARE A PARTAKER OF GOD'S GLORY MEMORY VERSE: - Colossians 1:27 - “To whom God would have made known what is the riches of the Glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory” What makes every believer unique and sets them apart from the world is Christ in them. Truly, it is Christ that makes the difference in their lives.Their strength is Christ, all that they are and all that they would be is Christ. Through the new birth experience in Christ Jesus, we are imparted with the indwelling glory of God, thereby making us His tabernacle of glory. Once you receive Christ into your life, you become a carrier, vessel and channel of God’s glory. Hence, we have been made the glory of a glorious God; proves of His glory on earth. Who also are to manifest, reflect, reveal and make known His glory in the world.  We have been foreordained and predestined before the foundation of the world to be revealers of His glory which becomes a reality with the ...
