^{Blue prints and the Spirit}

^{1 Corinthians 2}

^{10 For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets}^{(Concepts and BLUE PRINTS). 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (BLUE PRINTS).}

^{I must admit that this scripture here, the statement that we have access to God’s deep secrets and plans, can bring controversy. Someone will ask, how dare you? You claim to know the mind of God? …… However, knowing that this is a spiritual statement and only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means settles the matter. God chose to put His glory/treasure in jars of clay and the glory can only be unpacked by the Spirit as we yield to His blue prints. So, yes! as we yield, we attain the mind of Christ.}

^{For, “Who c}^{an know the Lord’s thoughts?}^{Who knows enough to teach him?” But we}^{understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.}

^{Blue prints and the Word}

^{John 1}

^{1 In t}^{he beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made (built); without him nothing was made that has been made (built).}

^{Paraphrase: In the beginning was the concept, the blue print, and the concept and blue print was with God through whom everything built was conceived and built from. The building process is His word – when He speaks, the concepts and blue prints come alive!}

^{Genesis 1}

^{3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.}

^{Paraphrase: In obedience to His spoken words, the concept and blue print of light obeyed and came alive. Light had to obey because He who said this is himself the great light.}

^{Let’s take 3 minutes to thank God for providing prophetic utterances to us through His Spirit.}

^{THE MEGA PROJECT}

^{Ephesians 4}

^{11 And He Himself gave (BLUE PRINTS) some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying/building of the body of Christ,}

^{Paraphrase: in this mega project of building the kingdom, some are engineers, some electricians, some project managers as per the master BLUE PRINTS.}

^{1 Corinthians 3}

^{5 (b) the Lord has as}^{signed to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.}

^{10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care (SHOULD FOLLOW THE BLUE PRINT}^S)^.

^{Its lik}^{e building an A380. Parts from different parts of the world, different contractors. As long as each build based on the blue prints, all the parts will come together seamlessly to a complete functional A380.}

^{Romans 12}

^{6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts (BLUE PRINTS) for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the (BLUE PRINT)}^ability^{to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your (BLUE PRINT)}^gift^{is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your (BLUE PRINT)}^gift^{is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.}

^Conclusion:

^{Whatever part of this mega-project that you have been called to build in, please build! Build yourself up and even better, build with other – keeping the bigger picture in mind.}

^Jude

^{20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,}

^{1 Corinthians 14}

^{4 A per}^{son who speaks in tongues is strengthened (built/edified) personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens (builds/edifies) the entire church.}

^{I pray that God grant us the grace to pray in the Holy Spirit: tongues of men, tongues of angels, the travailing and birthing groanings of the Spirit and inaudible sighs loaded with life and power to create/build.}

^{Even better, I also pray that we will desire to prophesy for having been individually edified, the church will get edified by prophesies and service to each other. A team full of fragmented superstars will be beaten by a synchronised and cohesive team of rookies.}

^{The strength of a chain is equal to the strength of its weakest link. Let’s us build and grow together for we are one.}

Prayer Points:

^1.^{Let’s take 3 minutes to thank God for providing prophetic utterances to us through His Spirit.}
