“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”John 16:13 (KJV) God has put a responsibility on you to find out what He is building. That is something that we hardly do. He is not obligated to bless what He is not building. Are you doing your own thing? If you are, then you have to struggle to keep it working because He will not get involved in it. There are many things that people are building that God is not involved in, yet they look very successful in the eyes of men. When the chips are down, you will discover that God has no hand in it. Therefore, the responsibility is on your shoulder to find out what He is building and get involved in it. Let me put it in a better way. God lives in the eternal now. He has already built before He put it in your heart.
It is your responsibility to ask God: What have you built? What is your purpose, plan and agenda concerning this thing? He will give you the blueprint. All you need to do is just interpret the blueprint and there is no way you will not succeed. Lots of people are busy with all kinds of things that don’t matter. They think that it is their struggle and what they put in that makes them successful. The area you should zero in on is the area of inquiry. Find out! Lord, what are you saying concerning the project I am embarking on? Even if it takes you one month, do it. Note that Jesus prepared for 30 years for only 3 years of ministry. In 3 years, He had imparted the nation, and everywhere. Today we are still celebrating Jesus. So, you see, the question is, why do you labour in vain, when you can get the blueprint from God?
