STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN PT. 6

TEXT: 1 Chronicles 28:11-13 (AMP)
11 Then David gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner rooms, and of the place for the [ark and its] mercy seat;
12 And the plan of all that he had in mind [by the Spirit] for the courts of the house of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for the dedicated gifts;
13 The plan for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service in the house of the Lord; for all the vessels for service in the house of the Lord:



It is the duty of visionary leaders to provide clear instructions and every material and the enabling environment for those working under them to succeed. Not too many leaders are careful enough to make this happen and as a result of such oversight or negligence many glorious visions have suffered unnecessary setbacks.

A myopic leader is concern about himself and his relevance but a visionary leader understands that all of his labour and accomplishments can be destroyed in the hands of a novice or a carefree successor.

To be sure that Solomon does not miss the divine pattern, David went an extra mile to give him the actual plan of what he is expected to build. According to verses 11 David gave Solomon the plan of the vestibule of the temple, its houses, treasuries, upper chambers, inner rooms, and most important of all was the place for the [ark and its] mercy seat…”. Only a man with a strong love for God will be so concern to do this.
 In verse 12 it is recorded that the plan was had for the courts of the house of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for the dedicated gifts according to Amplified was by the Spirit. This attest to the fact that he received divine instructions as touching the various plan. Only leaders with a sincere heart and an intimate love relationship with the Lord will be able to see into the heart of the Father to put their successors on the path of glory.
in Verse 13 he made available the plan for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service in the house of the Lord. This was to ensure a great degree of orderliness and for everyone to have the enabling environment to carry out his duty. There was also plan for the keep and handling of all the vessels for service in the house of the Lord. You will not expect any successor with a unique privilege like this to fail, but the truth still remains that if such individuals fail to develop a walk with God that is real and personal, divine direction will elude him.  Those who must succeed in life must be in a divine step ahead of others. God is your only guarantee for enduring success.
