“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s
building.”1 Corinthians 3:9
From the above scripture
states clearly that God is working on the earth. His project is a never ending
and ever expanding one. The second line of thought from our anchor scripture is
that each one of us are God’s building. Another way of putting this is that we
are God’s project. God’s attention is actually directed towards us individually
and collectively.
God is so eager to see
his project succeed. There is none of us that will start a project and not
desire to see it complete. “If you that are evil starts a project and complete
it; how much more shall your heavenly father ensure that each one of us
succeeds in life...?” (Luke 11:13
Paraphrase).
We are God’s project;
the ultimate goal of this is to make sure we end up as a sign and a wonder on
the earth. God wants everyone to see us and see the exact image and essence of
Christ in our lives. Everything about us should fully represent Christ. This is
a work that the Holy Spirit has come to do inside us.
There are several words
in the Bible that suggests the kind of work that God does in our lives. “The
more we allow this work to take place the more we become what we are ordained
for” from the foundation of the earth.
1.Purge – this simply means getting rid of impurities. To clean
thoroughly. This is an inward process that goes on within a man. John 15:2
2.Washing – this also involves the removal of whatever is not
supposed to be around our lives.
3.Build – this is a process of equipping us with all that we require
to function in God’s best of our lives. God builds us line upon line; precepts
upon precepts. Acts 20:32
The more we yield
ourselves to God the more his work is accomplished in our lives.
PRAYER:
Lord I yield myself
completely to you. Have your way in me and through me. Purge me and build me.
