Making God the master builder (4)
Dear Reader,
You are blessed of the Lord in Jesus’ name! I have shared with you God as the builder of all things and some of the materials for building.
This week, I will be teaching on, Arise to Your Responsibility.
Marriage can be likened to a physical house. Houses in the physical don’t just happen, they are consciously built. You don’t just wake up one day and see a fully built physical house somewhere. It takes conscious effort and input to make it happen. In the same manner, and even much more, a good marriage doesn’t just happen; it is consciously made to happen!
If you want to enjoy a good marriage and home, you must be ready to make it happen. The heaven, which is God’s throne, and the earth His footstool, were created by Him in the beginning. He had to first create (make to be) the heaven and the earth before He could dwell therein.
The same way, you can make a heaven of your home here on earth. You are the architect of your own marriage. Whether your marriage succeeds or not is determined by the man (and his wife) who are the variable factor. The destiny of a marriage is in the hands of the couple themselves.
However, the home and marriage you will enjoy must, of a necessity, be created by you. Your marriage is what you make it to be. Stop waiting for your home to adjust itself, rather adjust it with the Word of God. The Word of God says: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void (Genesis 1:1 &2). God did not just keep silent, watching; He acted and reshaped the world to what He desired, and only then did He see that everything was very good.
Is your marriage “without form and void?” Do not keep silent watching it; act and make it what it ought to be. You have the ability to do it. You are a co-creator with God your Father. Your situation is not beyond repair. Act on the Word and see your Home become a heaven on earth.
I want you to know that no one else can build your home for you; you have the duty to build it the way you want it. Stop shifting your responsibilities to God. The act of building is your responsibility. You must fulfill your own part for God to fulfill His.
You need the grace of God to take your responsibility in building your home. This can only be given by surrendering your life to Christ.
Surrendering your life to Christ entails confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. This is what being born again is all about.
Congratulations! You are now born again and a child of God.
