According To The Pattern

*ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN*


Ex. 25:40, Heb. 8:5

The pattern of God from creation till now for any physical or spiritual work that lasts for eternity is man.

Whenever useable, ready, sanctified, and prepared men are scarce in any generation, there will be a scarcity of *GOD'S WORD*, *GOD'S POWER*,  *GOD'S ANOINTING* in the means of His people.

Every man God uses for His work must know what He wants, how He wants His work to be done, and with what attitude we must do His work. That is God's pattern.


The pattern of God for any man who will do His work on earth is that you must be holy. 1 Pet. 1:16.

Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire unto God.  They died because they did not use the special fire Moses commanded them to use. Lev. 10:1&2 NCV. 


Strange fire can be anything you offer to God but not according to the pattern. It is that thing that God will never put His seal or stamp of authority upon no matter your status.

The glory of God appeared to the people at the meeting tent. The fire consumed the burnt offering because everything was done according to the pattern. Lev. 9:23-24.


The plan of God for Samson was to deliver the children of Israel from the Philistines without sinning. He was killing the Philistines but at the same time involved in immorality. That is not the pattern of God. His life was cut short. What a tragedy. Whenever we are not ready to walk with God by following His pattern, it always ends in tragedy. Judges 13:5, 16:4-31.


There are a lot of teachings, activities, programs, and practices in the church of God today that God will never put His divine approval upon because they are not done according to His pattern. They may look good and acceptable to the majority. They may be working and yielding results but as long as they are not according to His divine pattern, they will never get God's approval. God came down into the tent of the congregation because the tent was built according to pattern. Ex. 40:1-38.


Friends, are you building your life, ministry, business, marriage, and career according to the divine pattern? 

Note that anything you do for God outside His divine pattern will not attract heaven's approval. Men may give you a standing ovation, but heaven will not. Success may be attending to your life and ministry, but as long as that success is not achieved in conformity with God's pattern, it will not get Heaven's approval

I Will Build My Church - Matthew16:13-19

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
