STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT. 4)
TEXT: Exodus 25:8, 9 and 40 (AMP)
8 Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
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.
We have been talking about “Staying True with the Divine Pattern” for
some time now and as we bring this short study to a close it is important to
mention that everyone that has been given the privilege to serve under a
visionary must realize that every opportunity of service is an access to
greater dimension of glory. If a man is truly able to humble himself to
understand the his assignment in the bigger assignment of another and he is
able to serve faithfully, it is possible that the LORD will find him useful to
entrust him with a unique vision.
Too many people want to accomplish their own vision in the vision of
another man. When they claim to be serving to help accomplish the vision of
their leader they are actually using the time, equipment, materials, office,
contacts, reputation and workers of the leader to accomplish their vision. When
Joshua was with Moses he had no vision of his own that he was passionate about.
He was so faithful that when it became clear that somebody has to succeed Moses
it was not difficult for the LORD to choose him. So many who claim to be
assisting in accomplishing a vision are so far from being a suitable successor
of their leader. They were too busy chasing personal ambitions and some times
fighting the vision with their own vision. Joshua was so committed to helping
Moses succeed that until the death of Moses you never heard of him sharing a
parallel vision.
Until heaven finds you faithful and dependable in serving the vision of
another man you may never be able to get the privilege of receiving your own
from God. Be careful, what you are calling a vision may well be a figment of
your own imagination designed to destroy your future.
