Rising From The Rubble

In this life we are building.

Daily we build.

We build spiritually just as we build physically.

God is a Master builder and we can work with Him to get good outcomes for our lives.

We are spiritual craftsmen.

Be a skilled one.

Our lives can be likened to a building.

To build properly and effectively, the builder of the building must be intentional about his work. 

If the builder is not intentional he won't get anywhere.

In life you have to be intentional about what you want to do, achieve, pursue and how you use your time.

With every decision you make daily you are building.

With every choice you are making you are building.

Our choices and decisions can be likened to building blocks with which we are using to erect the building of our lives.

Build wisely.

Your earthly building will have a spiritual and eternal impact too, so build well and build wisely.

The builder also needs a blueprint for the building he is trying to put up.

Without a blueprint the construction will very likely go wrong.

The blueprint is the pattern the builders look to and follow for the building to turn out right.

The blueprint must be followed with intention.

Buildings that have been erected can also be brought down.

Buildings can be destroyed through wars, attacks, faulty work, poor foundations, and use of inferior materials when putting up the building.

When a building collapses for whatever reason, there may be a need to rebuild on that spot.

There will be a need to rebuild from or through the rubble on the ground.

When we are cut down by the enemy and have come crashing down, the story doesn't end there.

We can rebuild.

It's just like a tree.

If a tree has been cut down, as long as its roots are still in the ground, so long as its stomp has not been uprooted, at the scent of water, life and restoration begins for what is remaining of that tree.

The tree begins to grow, flourish and blossom again!

Out of the ashes of a dead yesterday, a glorious future can arise for you.

Out of the ashes of a dying today, a glorious destiny can begin to manifest.

Out of the rubble of wrong choices, mistakes and bad decisions, you can begin to rebuild.

You can build better, build smarter by following your blue print.

God has a prophetic blue print for your life, a divine blue print in the heavens that will make you emerge bigger, better and stronger than ever before when followed.

The rubble  reflects experience not failure.

The ashes show preparation not defeat.

The rubble shows process not tragedy.

The ashes are evidence of a journey not the end.

Ashes and rubbles show value not worthlessness.

Ashes and rubbles do not tell the end of our story, they are evidence the impossible can be made possible.

The rubbles are a catalog of experience, effort, understanding and knowledge we have under our belt with which we can rebuild and they help us rebuild with more expertise and accuracy.

Ashes and rubbles can be another chance, another opportunity when God is with us.

You are not meant to stay crying, keep lamenting, or get stuck in the ashes and rubbles of fallen aspects of your life.

Ashes and rubbles may reveal we have enemies, but they don't have to stop us. 

They should be our stepping stones to something better.

May God give us beauty for ashes!

Just has we read of Nehemiah who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, and completed and finished it with the speed of grace in 52 days, God can grace us too, to build and complete in good time!
