STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT. 5)
TEXT: TEXT: 1 Chronicles 28:18-20 (AMP)
18 For the incense altar refined gold by weight, and gold for the plan of the chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the Lord's covenant.
19 All this the Lord made me understand by the writing by His hand upon me, all the work to be done according to the plan.
20 Also David told Solomon his son, Be strong and courageous, and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

From our Bible reading for today devotional it is clear that the one who received the instruction and understood the importance of building according to the divine pattern is David. But the complication of this assignment is that he is not allowed to build that which he is envisioned with. It is true that David was envisioned with this assignment because in verse 19 of our text he talked about the fact that he got this understanding of the divine pattern “…the writing by His hand upon me…” though he was not qualified to build, it was the hand of God upon him that deposited the vision in his heart. Now somebody else has to accomplish the vision. Many of us know that Pastor E A Adeboye is not the visionary of RCCG neither does he claim to be but the vision blossomed under his care because he was faithful to serve under the founder.
When we sincerely serve the purpose of God under others we provoke the grace of heaven upon our lives to move to a new dimension of glory. Go back to read verse 20 of our text and note what David said to Solomon, the one that will have to accomplish the vision and you will understand the blessing that follows a man who is faithful to help another accomplish a divine vision. He develops courage and boldness. He receives the assurance of God’s presence. He receives the grace and anointing to start and finish the assignment. Therefore he has a guarantee of long and healthy life.
Be careful about your ambitions and desires, they may lead to multiplied sorrows and unfulfilled destiny.
