Not really save at home pt 2

Home lost its pillar

 Israel was a home beautified with pure gold, and its beauty attracted their beholders. God did it in a way that nations admired them due to their worth because what God beautified them with made them costly and unaffordable.

 Also, Israel was small in population, but nations were afraid of them and could not stand them in battle because of the strength from the pillar of their lives. God was not just at home with them, but He was their pillar and the very source of their strength, victory, wealth, and popularity that their enemies were unable to stop them even Balaam testified to that in Numbers 23.

 But Israel’s enemy did not give up until they destabilized and stopped the pillar of Israel from protecting them in Numbers 25:1-5. When the pillar left its very place in Israel because of their sin, darkness took over their stronghold and left them unprotected which made their enemies invade their land.

Note: Nothing easily dims or darkens a gold made by God than sin. Sin is a cloud of darkness intending to suppress light from shining in a person's life, of which everybody is mandated and expected under God to keep their light shining or sin clouds the unguided with thick darkness.

 The children of Israel were strong, and through God accomplished a lot of missions; faced terrible situations but they still came out strong because God was their pillar. 

  If you could remember what happened in Exodus 13:21-22 when God became a pillar of cloud by the day which is the sign of His presence in their midst, and their visible guide by the day, and a pillar of fire by night which means He was their eyes by night. But when they detached themselves from the pillar of their lives, the unimaginable tragedy began to happen to them because there was no how they could survive without God's full support.

  The path towards finding the meaning of life is always slipping, and it can position the finder into a disastrous, and demoting path if not solicit the support of the pillar of life before embarking on such a journey of life discovery. 

 Yes, you are gallant and a brilliant young person but the fact remains that you cannot stand alone, you can’t compare your strength with the weight of life yet unknown to you(1st Samuel 2:9b). You need God to become the pillar to lay the foundation of your life and the discovery of your life upon, because He is God and cannot make mistake on what He knows how to do the best.

   A friend of mine had a dream, and in his dream, he saw himself acquiring land but before buying land he already had an architectural design for the kind of house he wanted to build.    He said in that dream, he was the only person to provide all the materials to build the house and also the person to build the house alone. He laid the foundation and started building until he completed the house, it was a beautiful house and people came out to congratulate him for his house.

  But suddenly, it started raining heavily and the house he built and was celebrated for collapsed right in front of him. As he was crying, a man told him to go look at the material he used in building the house and when he checked, he found out that both the pillars and all the material he used in building the house were made of cartons.

 It was a dream and a message to him, to you and I. God can’t be inhabiting a person’s body and such a person is futile. The person’s life should resemble and also manifest the full life of He that dwells in him.
