< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Tower of Babel< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 11:1-9

In any of your relationships or in your journey of life, you may have begun to think you are doing too much more than your partner. You may have started to assume your partner is doing less. You are looking more into where he or she is doing less in comparison to what you are doing. If your case or situation fits the above, you are definitely heading towards Babel. Babel means confusion. In any relationship where the spirit of Babel has been allowed, confusion has become the guest of honor. Do you wonder why use the word Babel? Babel was a huge brick structure intended to magnify humankind and preserve the unity of the race. In your relationship, you are beginning to magnify yourself rather than the Magnificent God of creation. As a result, you have entered into a state of confusion. You, as a person, have become pregnant with confusion. Confusion does nothing but bring forth disruption in your relationship. Disruptions will affect communication. When your communication becomes affected, then circulation of information ceases. Information is the agent of transformation. With no transformation, your journey becomes terminated and being scattered abroad will have its way. At any time, on any ground, in any relationship, the spirit of confusion should not be allowed. Avoid thinking or building outside of God. Genesis 11:4, ÒAnd they said, ÔCome, let us build ourselves a city, and tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.ÕÓ When self begins to take the ground, heavens will be the next challenge. The Tower of Babel (Tower of Confusion) began with the thought of building here on earth and goes as far as building into the heavens. If you have been constructing outside of God, think of restructuring that will come from God. His restructuring will scatter you out of your control. Give God all the attention; involve Him in all your doing and all will revolve in your favor.

Proposal< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 11:1-9

When God proposes, no man can dispose. When He disposes, man can not propose. Have you been proposing without His involvement? Have you taken your proposal before God to find out whether or not it is in line with Him? As a redeemed child of God, it is important for all of your proposals to involve God. It does not matter what you are, who you are, or where you are. You just have to remember that you are under heaven and not beyond your CreatorÕs reach. Genesis 11:4, ÒAnd they said, ÔCome let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.ÕÓ The proposed building was not the problem, but the motive behind the proposal was in conflict with the Almighty God of creation. They wanted to grow beyond their boundary and they wanted to make a name for self. If they were Godly minded, they would have consulted He that is above before making a proposal of building into the above. What are you trying to become with the proposal that is pending in your heart? Do you want to stand tall above and beyond your level? Are you also considering making a name for your self? Do you want it to be proclaimed all over that Òyou have made itÓ? Have you taken this to God? Nothing is wrong in proposing to grow big or to multiply in the blessings of God., The proposal, however, that does not center on God is an indirect withdrawal from the only One who can make or unmake the fulfillment of the proposal. It does not matter how huge or small your proposal is; take it to Him today in prayer. Let it be that you are letting Him know what He has already known. He has seen the future in the past. He is a jealous God and He deserves all attention so He can attend to you more than you expected. Take all your proposals, desires, hopes and dreams to the Lord with a humble heart and He will increase you.

Hearing and Seeing< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Matthew 13:1-23

Ears and eyes are not accidental; and not for decoration. God gave it for a purpose and if the purpose failed, GodÕs direction will also fail to establish itself in your life. Many have ears and eyes but it does not serve the right purpose for their life to be constantly transformed. Talk to understanding; you do not have to be like everyone. Psalm 94:8, ÒUnderstand, you senseless among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?Ó  If the function of ears and eyes is to see and hear; He expects you to see and hear. As a child of God, you canÕt afford not to hear when He speaks. When He shows up, you canÕt afford not to see and turn. When you fail to hear or see and turn you will miss your appointed time period. Think of it; time is crucial. All that you have missed in the past years which you know was meant for you cannot be rewound back. There is nothing that will cause you to miss except when you fail to hear when God is speaking direction into your life; when God is showing you a turning point.  In Matt.13:15, Jesus quoted Isaiah 6:9 Òfor the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.Ó Remember, faith comes by hearing; what you see is what you receive. Ask God for the grace of a quickening mind that will constantly enable you to see and hear when there is a need.

Pleasing Him< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 8:28-43

Many times you must have heard a believer quoting the Word of God that states ÒHe will never leave me nor forsake me.Ó You probably have use the same quotation a number of times. Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith once made a statement, John < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>8:29, ÒAnd He who sent Me is with Me. The father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.Ó After you have quoted yours, have you ever found yourself in situation of being left alone? Jesus meant what He said because indeed He was never left alone all throughout His ministry on the face of this earth. This is evident in all that He did. Whenever Jesus spoke, His words were backed with power because the Father was always with Him. Is your story the same after your confession that He will never leave you nor forsake you? You have missed if your words are always empty. You have not been paying the price that will cause Him not to leave you nor forsake you. JesusÕ always pays the price and it is an example for us to follow for the Father not to leave us. The price for Him not to leave us nor forsake us is to always do what pleases Him. Pleasing God is the secret. Hebrew 11:6, ÒBut without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Ó Today, consider the need to live the Word of God so that you will begin to avoid empty quotations that are not backed with power. The Word of God has, is, and will always be true if you will pay the price that is behind every word. To sound the Word of God, you will have to behave the word of God. Ask Him for the grace to keep His Word.
