FAITH CAPSULE: From today know and begin to commit your entire to your Creator.
Genesis 11:1-9
Power is wealth and wealth is a blessing. The Bible makes us to realize that God is the one that gives to get wealth; He alone makes man to be rich. However, every wealth or riches that are not from God cannot be established. At a point in time, man wanted to rub shoulders with God by their proposal to build into the heavens. It is written, “Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 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 11:3-4) When God proposes, no man can dispose. When He disposes, man cannot propose. Have you been proposing without God? Have you taken your proposal before God to find out whether or not it is in line with Him? As an acclaimed believer 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 have to remember that you are under heaven and not beyond your Creator’s reach. God created all for His glory. Revelation 4:11 declared, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” Motive behind the built of Babel was in along with God for His glory, honor and power. The people stated, “let us build ourselves a city” The people wanted to build outside of their creator. The people were not mindful of God for His glory, honor and power. What are you trying to accomplish without consulting your Creator? Are you one that wants to stand tall above and beyond your Creator that is in the highest? Are you also considering making a name for yourself? Is it your desire to be proclaimed all over that “you have made it”?
Nothing is wrong in desire to become multiply in the blessings of God. However, desire that does not center on God is an indirect withdrawal from God the only creator of man. He alone can establish man’s desire. It does not matter how huge or small is your proposal; take your desire to God for His glory, honor and power. Let you Creator know that He is in charge of all you desire which He has already known before you are created. He has seen the future from the past. He is a jealous God and He deserves all your attention. He created all things for His glory, honor and power. From today, make it your way of life to be committing all your desires, proposals, and dreams to your Creator with a humble heart and He will increase you.
Prayer for today: Ask for His grace to be committing your entire endeavor before Him.
