IF THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR BUSINESS, MINISTRY OR CAREER WAS NOT STIRRED BY THE LORD, THE BUILDING WILL CRUMBLE.

In our zeal to express our gifts, to live our visions, and be fulfilled in life, we struggle to fix ourselves into certain companies, organizations, fellowships or ministries as guided by our instincts that such establishments would help. But sooner or later, we failed in the race and everything crumbled. We could not find anymore bit of strength to move on with such establishments. If you find yourself in this situation, please, take a critical look back at the foundation of the journey. Check if your decision to start or join in the business, the profession or the ministry was at first stirred by the Holy Spirit. Check if it was a charge from the Lord. There is 80% probability that you have been doing what you were not at first led by God to do. This is how to know if what you want to do or about to do is God's will or not: If you have peace in your heart, go for it. If you don't find that peace in your inside, don't be heavy or reluctant to drop the decision. IF THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR BUSINESS, MINISTRY OR CAREER WAS NOT STIRRED BY THE LORD, THE BUILDING WILL CRUMBLE. If it was stirred by the Lord, it will never crumble, because "faithful is He that calleth you, who will also do it".
In Ezra 1, we are told that the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia was stirred by the Lord to build a house for the Lord in Jerusalem. Do you know that this building project succeeded? King Cyrus had all the human and material supports he needed to build the house. Many rose up and volunteered to give him vessels of silver, gold, their energy and all king of goods. Only God could do this.
Yes, there can be challenges, even when you are doing what you were told by God to do. But the good news is that that business or profession or ministry will not crumble or die down.
Wait for the vision. Though it tarries, it will surely come. Let your spirit be stirred by the Lord, before you go into the business or ministry or profession. We struggle to enter into our purpose, we run out of strenght and resources and face out quickly because we were at the beginning not stirred by God to begin the course. Don't decieve yourself. You could feel no peace in your heart, as you intend to take up the course. That was actually a signal that if you went into it, it would soon crumble.
LET GOD LEAD YOU ALWAYS. "FAITHFUL IS HE THAT CALLETH YOU WHO WILL ALSO DO IT"- 1 Thess. 5:24. "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain"-Psalm 127:1.
