GOD IS FORCING SOMEONE TO EXERCISE HIMSELF NOW - Large Place Series 017
Luke 12:16-18, KJV
"16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 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.
Welcome to the season where you have to run so that growth won't outgrow you. God is ready to force you to exercise yourself. This agriprenuer on whom we've been studying for awhile has a breakthrough that he never planned for. His land was reported by the mass media to have brought forth plentifully. Journalists, reporters and all sorts of exaggerators came in to have recorded and have him interviewed over same. Even, the president called in and sent emissaries to congratulate him for same. His plentiful yield like no other was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. In Nigeria, there's a festival called Argungun festival. It's a festival where people go to fish and the fellow or fellows with the biggest catch get rewarded. Such kind of reward for bountiful, plentiful harvest is what turned in for this agriprenuer. Even foreign nations were astounded at how the land (the instrument of wealth of someone) which is an equal gift of God to all could have been partial in bringing forth plentifully in that manner to just one man. Research started as to detect what type of soil he planted in to have had such bumper yield. Soil scientists were carrying samples of his soil to the lab, yet the land was reported to be like any other. This can't but be God's blessings.
Many visited and he and his land became the news but when all departed home, this man became unhappy, sick and confused. The reason isn't because God hasn't blessed him but because God has blessed him so much that he lacks room and preparation to contain it. So, he was forced to begin to rack his brain as to how to trap all these blessings. This kind of reasoning, he hasn't done it before. He was used to managing his small barns. Those were the ones he probably earlier constructed when he set out in agriculture. But now, he's in trouble. Like a man that growth has caught up with and one growth could kill if not properly managed, he's desperately doing thinking and seeking a means of escape. At the end, heaven gave him another breakthrough. He insightfully resolved and concluded that he'll build larger barns. How would he get that done? He'll vanquish these by pulling it down and building larger on same ground? This is how the blessing of the Lord destroyed the first housing of this man which he had built as a warehouse sometimes ago. God is speaking to me now. He said, "some of you have related with narrowness and strictness for long that you have become narrowed yourself. So much more that you're saying, "I'm comfortable with this space. I'm used to it and it's serving me. I don't want to be stressed or shaken out of my comfort zone by any other work." This attitude and belief system is counter productive. God said, "I want to give you a larger room but your clinging to the old, former, less is not letting Me do that." So, this attitude is making some tell God to keep His blessings. It's not everyone who has the courage for hard-work or accommodation of stress like this woman (II Kings 4:24). She admonished her beast's handler to go at the maximum speed possible with her. Kai! Lazy people, God is here. He's saying, "I want to tear heaven and rain. Are you ready to do the thinking and hard-work that being blessed always require like this agriprenuer? Are you ready to pull down your old barns (thinking or way of life) for a new and better ways of doing things. When blessings come at a higher level, strategies also can't but change. How you handle money can't but change. You must reason and think faster than before and work with such effectiveness that only a calculator has. Today, if you're ready to be exercised - to be put to work and maximized by God who created you, raise your hand and say, "here I am." Now, God has identified you. Get ready for blessings that will tear your barns, sink your ships and indeed could endanger your life. Get ready. You'll discern them to have come from God and this morning's move. When it does, share your testimonies. Bless you!
PRAYER: Lord, put me to work. Exercise me to my maximum capacity. Give me the blessing challenge that'll do that to me.
