Ezekiel 43:11
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the house, its structure, its exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes, and all its laws. And write it in their sight, so that they may observe its whole design and all its statutes and do them.
Beloved,
As we start to round up this series, I want to encourage you to have a structure in place. Not just any structures- the structures necessary for you to live out your message now. Structure is designed to help ensure you can manage what you have and what God wants to give you. He will not give you what you cannot prove you are ready to carry. Structure keeps you safe. It keeps you grounded and focused.
Your structure includes the time you put to spiritual activities, training, preparation and critical assignments. It also includes the people you are accountable to and people who must be accountable to you.
Structure is your container. It makes you presentable. You can be attracted to something or repel it by virtue of the presentation of your vessel or structure. While structure is important, equally as important is your substance. Substance reflects the quality and impact of how you use the structures you have put in place.
One example of structure is committing to pray one hour per day, no matter what. Having that kind of structure in place ensures there’s minimal disconnect between you and The One who sent you. It’s the bare minimum time any serious Christian must commit to praying daily. Examine the current structures you have in place. Are they fit to help you carry the message God has given you to live out. If not, set them in order TODAY!
I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace.
I call you BLESSED. I call you NATIONS.
