Building in Wisdom
Do not build in vain!
Let me be the one who builds and establishes your house. I have unique blueprints and designs specifically created for what I want to be built. It is not my intention for you to toil and build by the sweat of your brow. That was the result of the curse, and for those who continue to build as if they are still governed by it, building according to the wisdom of man.
These are the ones who build their houses on the sand with no solid foundation; their houses will not stand, and they will eventually fall.
But you, my redeemed covenant people, are to build with me, and I will bless you and cause the earth to yield to you. But you must first wholeheartedly yield your heart to me, submitting to my instruction and following my commands. Complete and absolute trust in me is required.
It is here that you will be anointed with my spirit of wisdom and my spirit of understanding to build.
This access is given to those whose hearts are pure and are committed to joining theirs with mine. Those who desire and practise a lifestyle of “oneness” with me will have access to greater revelation and increased flows of wisdom that will pour from me, and it is my wisdom that will be your solid foundation. So, you must intentionally plant yourselves by my rivers and receive my wisdom to build, and if you do, then your foundations will be strong and sustainable, leaving a legacy. What you build with me will stand when all others collapse.
Activation: Pray this prayer as you seek to build solidly with the Lord in every area of your life:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before you with a humble heart seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Show me, Lord, the areas in my life where I have been toiling in vain. Reveal any paths that I have taken out of self-reliance and where I have neglected to seek oneness with you. Grant me the wisdom to recognize where self-effort has replaced Your holy guidance, and the strength to surrender those areas to Your will. Let Your spirit of wisdom flow through me, guiding my steps and shaping my decisions as I purpose to build in alignment with Your perfect plan to build a legacy that stands firm in Your wisdom and for Your glory. Amen.
Psalm 127:1 (ESV)
Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT)
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.
