GOD won't give you furniture but He would fill your forest with wood for you to convert into furniture.
It is incontrovertible that it is God that inspires with ideas but it is left to the church and the individual Christians to run with the vision to make far-reaching impacts. ( Habakkuk 2:2 )
The trouble with the church in Africa is that we are too lazy and fetish to apply higher christian and Biblical principles correctly towards turning the earth into paradise .Do you know that true Discipleship is only possible through your vocation or point of your discipline ? There is no rocket science to it as students of Psycholinguistic would work it out on the Biblical Principles of:" IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD.( Thanks to Rev.Dr. STOla Akande who encouraged me to pursue the principles at I.I.E school outreach program) If I begin here to analyse the consonantal Principles of the connection between Discipleship and Discipline you would realise that it was the same principle that God in Jesus Christ left for us when He recruited His disciples from the point of their respective trades. Moses and Elisha as shepherds from the field ,Peter from the fishing network; Mathew from the point of his tax poll etc; and was it for nothing why Solomon said:" Seeth thou a man diligent in his duties, he would STAND before kings and not before mean and ordinary men ? He is referring to same principle. What does the church do today ? We abolished the Christian Farm calendar that dictates our festivals and follow wrong " pentirascal dogma which is discouraging us from farm activities. No wonder why farm products have disappeared from our yearly Harvest services and instead we reap naira harvest where we have not sowed .
In those days churches called out all members and gave them seeds to go and sow, thus teaching them both from the agricultural point of harvest and from resurrection point of christian principles of life after death. Nicodemus was behaving like today's church when he first met Jesus. A whole ruler who ought to understand simple Christian Biblical principles of Being born again was asking Jesus : Would I have to go back to my mother's womb to be born again? " Jesus' answer is as relevant to the church today as it was thousands of years ago . He said : if we tell you of something here on earth and you do not believe, how would you believe spiritual things of the heaven which you have not seen ? Conversely, if the church cannot work out its salvation here on earth using christian Biblical principles to benefit mankind, the salvation of its members are definitely hanging towards hell even right here on earth. Do you think it was for fun that Jesus Christ talked of the day of judgement as a day when the talk of performing miracles here on earth would simply be noise making in heaven ?
