Does God need man's strategy to build His Kingdom?Interestingly Jesus DID'NT say 'you will build my church ' but Jesus said "I will build my church". He is doing it and He is asking us to be co-workers not to provide strategies to Him to do that!
Many ministries in today's Christian world are planning and have invented extensive strategies to do this. Even David was provided armor by King Saul which is like man's strategies to accomplish this huge seemingly impossible task as he thought David could'nt do it as he was only a boy. But God had a simple plan which David was comfortable with -a sling and a few stones(actually he used only one of that!). Man's strtegies are like the armor which Saul thought might work but God's plan was so simple and could be achieved thru a shepherd boy-provided he was the kind who will trust and have faith in God and would give all glory to HIM!
I wonder what strategy would our "strategists" have used if they were to break down the Jerico wall??
I was recently talking with a man of God and he gave a perfect example-he said" If I have to break a wall in my layman's understanding I would call maybe 50 strong men and buy some tools and start day by day; but if I am wise I would call an engineer and he would do it with a dynamite in a moment!"
If there is such a gap between an ordinary man's wisdom and an engineer's wisdom, then how much more gap there would be between our strategies and God's wisdom and plan. He is looking for people to seek His plan to win nations and He is NOT seeking us to give Him strategies and ideas!Amen?
Lets seek Him.His plans are simple and "doable" for us but glory would go to Him alone.Are we willing to give Him the glory and seek Him?Then He will use such.
His word says that His ways are higher!
Seek Him and he will reveal it to us.

yes it's wonderful!you inspire me!!man is limited but God is unlimited,our mind can't explain it "how a black colour cow eating green colour grass and giving white colour milk" so God himself says in the Bible that "ur plan and work is not like mines and my plan and work is not like yours"
Praise God! Thats how simple and yet a magnificent God!!! unfathomable, indescribable. True, God looks at our availability and not our ability, He can create/ bring to pass out of nothing -we need to have that child like faith in an all powerful, Almighty God.
