GOD WANTS YOU TO BE ROOMY AND READY ALWAYS - Large Place Series 015
Luke 12:17-18, KJV
"17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods."
Always, God wants you to be roomy and ready. Your preparation must always be on ground for what God has set out to do or will do. There be those who says God has not done them any good. What if God opens the windows and floodgates of heaven? Will you have ready room enough to contain the outpourings of God? God hates wastages. One time, He showed us how much he could do by saying, "bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10, KJV). This is the extent that God could go. If He should open the tap, hope you won't later regret not maximizing it. Hope you won't begin to chide yourself and be self absorbed that you miss the multitude of opportunities that you could have taken advantage of. Once God opens heaven to pour out His blessings, if you're a contractor, multiple projects may come in at once to your shock. Do you have capacity and well developed system enough to handle it? You, you're a minister. What if in a just concluded crusade, it's your church many of the souls find their ways into? Will you be ready to pastor at thousand level and bear all like Aaron in your heart before God? You better be ready for work. You better grow now. You better become roomy on the inside, mentally, spiritually, in faith, in being led by the Spirit and even in strength. Just be there. Just be ready. Why is the Lord saying this? God comes to the ready, the prepared and those who have met the requirements. Even when He promised pouring down blessings that we won't have room or space enough for, it was a promise and return to only those who pay all their tithes. That is, those who have fulfilled a certain requirement. You should ask yourself, what requirements am I to fulfill to have secured such outpouring of God. Am I ready by what I do?
If there's one thing I like this agriprenuer for, it is that since he was in business, he never wasted any blessing, growth or increment God gave him. He maximizes every divine blessing and increment so well that by it, it could be measured visibly by men that he was a rich man. It is very obvious he is. He is not a waster but a good steward of all sent to him except that he is not a complete and total steward by acknowledging God with the first fruits of his increase. The mistake you mustn't make whenever you receive outpourings. He rather became too wise, selfish and leaned on his own understanding. What should be the proper process was therefore broken and he reaped the consequence. Yet, you could see in him no carelessness in not containing all that the rain and sunlight of God has brought him. He was saying, "where would I house this?" That thought troubled him from sleeping until through rigorous thinking, he resolved on what to do. He's a man of hard-work. He works and he thinks. So, he's naturally capacitated to solve some problems for himself. That brilliance could have deceived him also to think "his own hands provided all he ever needed for himself and not a God somewhere." Ensure you're not deceived but by humility and referencing God, grow and tarry in wealth. I pray that when your blessings arrive, it won't be then you'll be in search frivolously for containers to house them. May you have owned and borrowed not a few. May you be roomy and ready. This man confessed his deficiency when he said, "but I have no room to bestow all these goods." However, thank God for late hour revelation which came when he says, "I'll pull these down and build greater barns." May blessings not catch you unawares. May you have barns ready to contain it. May you have done all so that you'll stand in the day of blessings. May blessings not confuse you and show your unpreparedness.
PRAYER: Prepare me mentally, spiritually, physically etc to handle blessings at my large place. Blessings will meet containers in my hands.
