I was watching a movie titled “Adjustment Bureau” and my
thoughts came alive about the subject matter called life and our travails in
it. It is amazing how people struggle to accept the fact that there is a God up
there who rules over and controls the affairs of men. Every building we know
has a Master-plan drawn by the Architect and accepted by the Government before
the actual structure is erected. The Master-plan is also referred to as the
blueprint. Everyone walking the face of the earth has a blueprint for his/her
life...a discovery and location of the individual’s blueprint is the first step
towards true Success in life. Take note, Success is entirely different from
good/true Success.
Life itself is a Matrix, twisted and wielded in such a way
that without the one with the blueprint and Master-plan, veering off the path
is imminent. There are, as I assume, questions running through your mind now.
Questions like, the friends you encounter in life, the spouse you get entangled
with, the family you are born into, the Career path you find yourself in, etc.
Quickly, I refer to some scriptural stories. According to
their Matrix:
Ø It wasn't in the master-plan that the Children of Israel will be carried away Captive into the land of Babylon. But the acts of King Hezekiah triggered such decision. II Kings 20:14-21
Ø The Israelites were meant to spend 400years in
Egypt and 40days in the journey to Canaanland from Egypt, but it wasn’t in the
blueprint that they will spend extra 30years in Egypt and 40years in the
wilderness journey. Exodus 12:40-41; 16:35
Ø The lineage of Eli had the Master-planner’s
stamp as the eternal priesthood of Israel, but it was never in the blueprint
that the priesthood will be passed to the house of Elkannah at that point. I Samuel 3:11-14
One thing is common in the afore-mentioned stories and many
others that space wont permit...the individuals involved made a choice which
either delayed or terminated fulfillment of purpose. This means our choices can
either make us veer off the Master-planner’s blueprint or cause a catastrophic
turn out of events thereby terminating God’s blueprint for one’s life.
There are so many examples of catastrophic decisions that
terminated destinies, examples like Jephthah (Judges 11:30-40), Samson (Judges
16:30), etc.
Point is, the blueprint of the Master-planner will always
have a happy destination. Following His blueprint for your life has only
advantages because we know that ALL things work together for good, to them that
LOVE the Lord.
Friends, the cause of most of the hardship you are facing is because
you have veered off the blueprint for your life, a decision which renders you
vulnerable to satanic manipulations and oppressions.
It’s about time we practicalize Carrie Underwood’s song
“Jesus Take the Wheels”. Many of us need to retrace our steps and return to the
One who has the blueprint of our lives, the One that cannot mismanage our
lives, the One that can order our steps into fulfillment. Walking in His
blueprint saves you the stress of designing your own blueprint, one you are not
even sure of it’s validity and authenticity...because no one knows tomorrow
except the Master-planner Himself.
The choice is yours, but I implore you to return to Him that
is the author of the Matrix of your life, the One whose blueprint substantiates
the fulfillment of your purpose. If it is not good, it is not God. God looked at
everything He created and said it was good, very good. No defect, no mistake,
nothing bad. If there is any symptom of bad in your life, check it, there is a
likelihood you have veered off the blueprint of your life. God is interested in
our ways, our paths, our thoughts, our everything, He has them all drawn out in
His blueprint!
