As I was walking through my local park, the path ahead of me looked like a picture of an “artist’s impression”! As I was walking along the path, I thought how God also has an “Artist’s impression” of how things should look on earth. He tells us to pray for His Kingdom and His will to be on earth as it is in Heaven- His Kingdom where there is no sickness, sin etc; a place of peace, love, community, worship.
As we read His Word, we can be fully aware of what His will is for us and our communities. And His Word is never to puff us up with knowledge, but to show us how to live and how we need to agree with Him.
Like in the natural, the picture of an artist’s impression is to show how things are expected to look, but this is only if the works goes ahead to take down the old and start to rebuild unto completion. This is not a quick fix or simple work. This takes energy, finance, different units working together- councils, builders, architects, removals…etc. And just like His Kingdom coming to earth- everyone is needed. There are different timings of when things need to be done. You can’t bring in the planning at the end of the building.. and you can’t build before taking down the old. This calls for us to respect each other and to know the times and seasons.
Let us remember that as believers in Christ, we are all on the same team and not in competition with each other.
Let us tear down, destroy and overthrow what the enemy has built, and let us build and plant the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.
