The Cause For A New Agenda!
"But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built." (Genesis 11: 5)
.
Growing up as a child, I was taught to believe that the singular reason why God had to destroy the tower of babel was because "THEY INTENDED TO BUILD A TOWER THAT WILL GET TO HEAVEN."
.
[THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS!]
.
...because they intended to get to heaven, God was threatened and decided to act fast so as not to allow Man gain access to heaven.
.
For many who also grew up as Christians or bible scholars, you must have heard the same story, and as true as that may sound, it is false.
.
God's agenda for destroying them and the tower wasn't because of those shared ideologies; it's deeply rooted in.....

Searching through the scriptures, you would be able to see clearly the heartbeat of God and His true intentions for His action.
.
"God's motive was hidden in His expansion agenda."
.
God's original plan was not to create diverse tongues and languages; neither was it to prevent mankind from walking together; nor was it about disrupting their ideas and plans;
.
God's 'WILL' was to create a realm where His agenda was to be followed to the later.
.
Where His ultimate will must be fruitful and spread upon every corner of the earth.
.
His purpose for creation was never to keep man at a standstill; it was to get man to SPREAD.
.
God's plan would have been stuck if the people never left the land of SHINAR.
.
In the same vein, most times we celebrate our present success that we leave little or no room for continuous growth.
.
His very purpose was to get mankind to be scattered all over the earth.
.
His initial intention was to get mankind all over ORGANICALLY, seeing that they were on a mission to alter that plan, God had to depend on GORILLA MARKETING TACTICS to accomplish His goal.
.
[GOD INDEED IS AN ENTREPRENEUR]
.
In summary, God wanted to build a "Global Brand" and man wanted to remain a "Regional Brand."
.
"And they said, come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, if not, we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." (GENESIS 11:4)
.
God's grand plan is for us to go global, but many a times, we stale the will of God for our lives by settling for less.
.
"...and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the whole earth."
.
"YOUR LOCALITY IS NOT YOUR DESTINATION; YOUR NEW IDENTITY SHOULD BE GLOBAL!"
