Making hay while the sun shines is not something that most people enjoy doing. They want to choose to do what they want to do, regardless of the circumstances, and regardless of its impact on others. In the kingdom of God, we have to make the most of the circumstances that exist. We also need to desire to fulfill the will of God for his kingdom.
If the Lord God Almighty says that certain circumstances will exist in the kingdom of God, they exist not because God forces us to accept them against our will, but because we choose to make them manifest. It is we who must build the kingdom in accordance with God's blueprint. It is not a pre-fabricated kingdom that will collapse at the first gust of wind. It is a kingdom that is as strong as the willing commitment of each and every member. Whoever desires to be part of the kingdom must take hold of the portion of it that is directly in front of them, and must proceed to build it in accordance with God's plans and purposes. The Lord God Almighty El Shaddai NOTE: This is precisely what the Israelites did in Nehemiah chapter 2, verses 11 to 20, and Nehemiah chapter 3, chapter 4, and chapter 6.
