Many years ago, I reached the realization that I am the foolish person referred to in the scripture that confounds the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). There is a feeling of freedom when one admits their own foolishness. Amazingly, when you're foolish, He makes you wise in Him.
I opted for a different direction in life that didn't involve pursuing degrees or training. Nonetheless, I triumphed in creating a notable presence in the world by relying solely on my talents, resilience, and determination. Upon receiving a message from the Lord to follow Him, I abandoned everything and answered His call. Nothing was held back! It has become evident that degrees and training did not meet the standards set by the Lord's teachings. The Lord walks in humility, and that’s where I found Him. The wisdom of man can be compared to an old wineskin. The mind of man filled with pride! All structures based on human wisdom will collapse. God says, My thoughts are higher than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). The Kingdom He rules is not based on human wisdom.
God doesn’t identify with just one brotherhood; His allegiance is to all of mankind. In the eyes of the Lord, names and titles hold no significance. Don’t store up treasure on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:19-21).
“Build my house,” declares the Lord. The construction of His house involves placing living stones on the earth, one by one, “the New Jerusalem”. You are that living stone! Together, they create His Kingdom on earth. Change your focus to build His house (you) instead of your personal retirement.
Humble yourself and become the foolish. It worked for me!
