Faith Capsule: Confusion does nothing but builds up disruption in your relationship.
Genesis 11:1-9
In every journey where there is confusion it is evident that lack of understanding is having its place. Confusion is not of God it is of the enemy to deny continuity. With continuity out of place transformation is terminated. Have you allowed confusion or you are experiencing confusion in any of your relationships? Is it in your journey of life that you are experiencing confusion? There is absolutely no challenge that is too minor or major not to take before God for intervention. A wise saying states, “Every situation that is good needs prayer and ones that is also not good needs prayer.” Confusion is also rooted in destructive pride which sneaks into man unconsciously. You may have started to think you are doing too much more than your partner. You may have started to assume your partner is doing less. Are you looking more into where your partner 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 taken over the driver’s seat of your journey for transformation in life. 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 Uncreated creator, Magnificent God of creation the Providing provider. As a result, you have entered into a state of confusion. You, as a person, have become pregnant with confusion. Confusion does nothing but builds up disruption in your relationship. Confusion will affect communication. When your communication becomes affected, then circulation of information ceases. Remember that information is the agent of transformation. With no transformation, your journey becomes stagnated. Without communication you are bounded to be scattered.
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, “And they said, ‘Come, 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.’” 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 occupied with the thought of doing more in your marriage or in your fellowship it becomes evident that you are setting a stage for confusion to take charge. Do not think outside of God, disallow confusion. Give God all the attention in your entire journey and relationships in life.
Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from every spirit of confusion.
