Now lets start by reading 1 Samuel 16 verses 1 to 13 so open your bibles.
now the part that i want you all to really sink your selves in with is verses 12 and 13
12 " So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy , with beautiful eyes and a hansdome appearance. And the lord said, "Arise , anoint him; for this is he"
13"then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward, And Samuel arose and went to Ramah"
, so i bet your asking what does this have to do with "building My Self" , From the moment Samuel Anointed David as the new King he entered the Waiting period and when your waiting on god to accomplish his prophecy build your self ! because if you don't build your self to the way god wants you to be the prophecy the vision that was given about you will tarry because the relationship with you and God is 50/50 what ever you put in he puts in at the same level.
Now how do we build our selves ? now theres many ways one of them is through Trials and tribulation
James chapter 1 verse 2-4 says
"2 Consider it all joy , my brethren, when you encounter various trials,3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing"
when ever you encounter rough times now that what ever is going on in the end god will be glorified and what ever comes your way and you OVER come it you have gained wisdom , you have gained understanding a trial shouldnt be seen as something horrible think of it as a test like verse 3 said and out of every test you learn something because what ever god has called you to be you will endure trials that will help you gain what you need to be complete and perfect lacking of nothing at the position he wants you to be .
Build your self and let god build you !
While your waiting build your self to the level god wants you to be at when these trials tribulation come remember to praise the lord because in all things he is glorified and he allows these things to come your way because he knows you can over come them and you shall learn something from them . he would not let you go through something you cant over come so when he allows these things to come your way its to build you now when they come Over come them because if god has faith in you that he can allow these things to come then you can do it .
(1 Thessalonians 5:18 remember to give thanks to the lord )
let me use analogy here be like a potter a architect now you can just have the perfect masterpiece just like that now you have to work out the kinks work out the flaws because if there is something needs to be changed and its through trials and prayer that can work these out so you can have the perfect product because when the appointed time comes god wants you to be prefect lacking in nothing for your position
now that you understand that you have to build up your endurance and mind you need to build the spirit if your not at the spiritual level needed god will not be able to complete the vision and you will have to wait even longer
1 thessalonians 5 17 says "pray without ceasing"
thats how we do it PRAY pray pray if you want to build up your spirit pray alot and if you can pray in tongues you have a great key because its direct communication with god , build up the annointing people praying is a great key in the waiting period because you need to be at that spiritual level to be effective at the position god has given you.
Through the praying you start to gain retrieve gifts of the holy spirit that you need to be strong and to do the work god has given to you powerfully only through prayer can the spirit be built to the level you need the more you pray the more your spirit becomes strong and your bridge to god be comes stronger the communication with you and him will be immense if you take time to pray
another key is humble your self during the waiting period dont boast .. hebrews 6:15
god will build you and give you what you need mentally spiritually now let him build you and you also help him by also building yourself .
