Where Is God in What You’re Building? Inviting Divine Ownership Over Your Life’s Blueprint

Where Is God in What You’re Building? 

"And in Christ you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit."  Ephesians 2:22 (KSB)

   Where is God in what you are building? Your consciousness, your awareness of God and your awareness of good is the foundation of everything you construct in life. If you are building from a place of divine awareness, then whatever you're working on whether it's a career, a ministry, or a relationship can stand strong and thrive. But if God is only a guest in the process, the structure may not last. Are you building with God or for God? Or worse, without Him? You don’t have to build alone. Whether it’s your family, your friendships, your business, your education, or your ministry, God desires to co-create with you. He wants to be the cornerstone, not just a visitor on the job site.

   Too often, we reduce God's role to that of a visitor, He’s allowed in our lives, but only with restrictions. Like a guest in our homes, God isn’t permitted into certain rooms of our hearts or minds. We edge God out with ego, placing conditions and timelines on His presence. For others, God is a renter: allowed to stay for a while, but evicted the moment things don’t go our way. Where is God in your thoughts, your decisions, your behaviors, and your words? Where is He in your plans and ambitions? Is He a co-owner, or merely an occasional visitor?

   The truth is, God wants to be an owner. He doesn’t just want visitation rights, He wants to dwell in you. Your body is His temple. Your life is His workmanship. Your career, your ministry, your marriage they are all vessels He longs to fill and co-create with you. “A threefold cord is not easily broken.” God isn’t just your helper; He is the Master Builder. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. But you must make room for Him not just at the finish line, but in every blueprint, brick, and step along the way.

   So, ask yourself: Where is God in what you’re building? Is He visiting, renting or does He own it?

   Let Him in. Build with Him. And watch what stands the test of time.

"And in Christ you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." – Ephesians 2:22 (KSB)

1. Visits
2. Rents
3. Owns

📖 Reflection: What are you currently building in your life, and how involved is God in the process?

💡 Action Step: Invite God into every area of your life today, don’t just let Him visit, let Him take ownership.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
