STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT.1)

STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT.1)

TEXT:  Exodus 25:8, 9 and 40 (AMP)
⁸ Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

⁹ And you shall make it according to all that I showed you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.

⁴⁰ And see to it that you copy [exactly] their pattern which was shown you on the mountain.

Every impactful work that has remain relevant from one generation to another has always been by some time proven principles and patterns. Structures that are built on proven theories have the guaranty to produce the desired result as long as the principles of that theory are carefully applied.  Any attempt to ignore a step or process required in accomplishing desired result will jeopardize the entire effort and resources invested in that project.

For any man to build an aeroplane that will take off from the ground and travel successfully in the air the law of aerodynamics and the various principles that is needed to achieve the desired result must be carefully applied. That is why the aeroplane is built with a specific shape and carefully chosen materials. You cannot build an aeroplane with the shape and materials of a ship and expect it to take off. The law and principles of floatation guides that inform the way men carry out the construction of a ship is a misfit if you desire an aeroplane.  In the same vain, you cannot apply the pattern of another man’s vision to achieve success in a completely different vision. Every vision has its divine pattern and goal. It is therefore dangerous applying the pattern of A on the vision of B hoping to accomplish the goal of B.

Whenever God gives an assignment to a man, He envisions him with an explicit pattern that will help him recognize the degree of progress he is making in accomplishing that assignment. When he gets the assistance of others it is important that the pattern of that vision is well communicated to those who join in or else, the vision will be frustrated. When Moses went up the mountain to speak with God he left the people and the vision of taking them to the Promise land with Aaron but by the time he returned after forty days Aaron had lost control. He yielded to the pressure of the people, as they demanded for a god that they could see to lead them.

 A careful study of our text will reveal to you that our God is serious about how we go about the vision He calls us to be a part of. There is a divine pattern for the vision that you have identified with and it is your duty to understand and follow it strictly to help accomplish the vision. Only those who have lost sight of or are ignorant about the vision want to apply a strange pattern to the vision they are given the opportunity to be a part of.  Be careful how you serve.
