COMMUNICATION
Genesis 11:1-9

Communication is the key to the continuation in every area of life. When there is communication, every barrier to moving forward will fail to stand. When there is communication in any group or relationship, understanding will not take forever to prevail. Communication is a demonstration of understanding and oneness in any group of fellowship. How communication is used will determine how God responds. If communication is used as means of rebellion, it will lead to the death of such groups or fellowship. And if it is used to foster the kingdom of God, God will not overlook it, but back it up with power for His glory. Once in the early times, the people were having the kind of communication that could not be stopped, “And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4) The people wanted to build unto where God sits so they can thumb Him in the eye. They wanted to make names so they would not have to call on His name. “But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” (Genesis 11:5-6) Whatever plan they had would not have been withheld because of their communication. The evil proposal brought down evil construction as a result, “…The LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.” (Genesis 11:8) An act of rebellion is an attempt to build outside of God. After the ascension of the Lord Jesus, the Apostles demonstrated a healthy communication by evidence that they were together. Acts 2:44, “Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” Effective communication that is positive and kingdom minded will no doubt bring about common goals and great results. Effective communication is the enigma to working together, and building up an accord that cannot be disrupted because God will always be in it and where God is, increases and multiplication will reign. What is communication doing to your group or fellowship? Are you part of a group with strong communication whose attempt is to build where and when God has not ordained? There is a need for you to understand what group you are into, because, “…The Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3) Avoid an untimely and sudden death due to communication outside of God.
Prayer for today: Deliver me O Lord from being a part of any evil agenda. Let me not build where you do not call me to build.
