WHERE THE LORD MUST CONFUSE YOUR LANGUAGE
Read Gen. 11:1-9, Numbers 22
Genesis 11:9, KJV
"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
Don't judge a teaching by its heading. If you do, you can easily be offended and not get what the eyes have not seen nor ears have not heard that God has prepared for you that's there.
God must confuse your language. What you're building must not be completed. God must remove you from those false plans you want to hatch. What!
After the flood, the people journeyed seeking rest. They finally found rest in Shinar. A very comfortable valley to settle in. There, they decided to erect an edifice such that people would see and sigh, praising such men who have wrath such work. You see, the desire to achieve great feat or do things that would shock its hearers have been of old. Your wanting to make it or do great things must however not be to your praise first of all but God's praise. If in your pursuit to make a name for yourself, a name won't be made for the Lord, then there's no point going on such venture.
God came to check on these men and on peeping out of heaven's window, He saw that these men would achieve what they have set their minds to do. More so, they are at advantage of being of one speech. They understand each other as well and they have solely come to agreement. If nothing however is quickly done, God's plan that men exists over the surface of all the earth won't be achieved or let's say quickly achieved.
The very purpose for which this men have sought to build this great edifice that would reach to heaven contradicted God's. They wanted to stay together. God wanted them to spread out.
Brethren, God cares for you and He is very much after you. Like I used to say, "it will take a miracle - a mysterious mystery for a child of God to be finally defeated." Why did I talk in this manner? Because God takes thought for each Christian. He won't allow you go on your own way. Whenever God sees a Christian beginning to thread his own path, God like any earthly father will express a yearning heart after him. He'll pursue him and seek to stop him from continuation of what he has laid hands on. That's God's salvation and deliverance on the way. You might have been on the way - already doing something but God is an interrupter. I pray He stops you from a continuation of what won't serve His purpose and then bless you at day's end. Whenever God comes to stop men at work and places stop sign at the site where they labour, they may take God for a bad God who hinders people from having their own way. No, rather see Him as one who appears to preserve you from ultimatel
Look at Balaam, it took that kind of miracle I mentioned for him to fall into error. It took obstinacy and consistency on the wrong road for him to be allowed to go his way. Yet, you could see the so many checks and balances God puts on his way to restrain him after openly defying by desiring to go with the second messengers of Balak. First of all, his donkey of many years that he's accustomed with to have not acted funny for once started acting weird. He forced the donkey to journey but an angel was in his path. Rather, the donkey turned away on several occasions and endured his beating. It got to head when the donkey spoke for a sign yet he was still not moved. He saw the angel with the drawn sword and heard what he said on how he was sent to restrain him because his way was perverse before the Lord, yet he still had inner desire to go. It was then his reprobate desire was given him out of inconvenience and unhappiness of God. May you not strive with God until you turn God's hands to have your will. In the contention for the supreme will, may God always have the last say.
I pray, wherever you're on your own journey, building your own building, may you be intercepted. All buildings that won't serve the overall purpose of God won't be completed!
