The Unstoppable City Builders

Summary of Pastor Matthew Adebayo's message @ the ongoing RCCG Youth Convention in Nigeria. Read and be blessed by it.

**The Unstoppable City Builders**

Gen 11:1-8: The people had one mind, one goal, one purpose and they worked together to achieve that purpose!

The power of unity is unstoppable! If the church will come together in unity and work together with one purpose, we will build nation!

The city could refer to a place or the people while a builder is a constructor. A city builder is therefore someone constructs a city/people.

3 CHARACTERISTICS OF CITY BUILDERS

1)City builders always have a desire!

The starting points of all achievement in life starts with a desire, ability to recognise what you want in life!

Don't hide under the pretence of spirituality! Many just wait for the holy spirit to do everything but this is wrong! You need a burning desire and driving force in life.

City builders have vision! Have the image of the city you want to build in your heart, create a mental picture of desire and start working towards it.

Phil 2:5, when you have the mindset of christ, you can set your life right and your life settings will be better.

2) City builders are determined !

They are men/women of determination who have made up their mind on what to do! They are risk takers who refuse to give up come what may. 2Sam 23:15

City builders don't succumb to threats, they are not fearful. Even in the face of death city builders don't give up! Esther 4:15-16

3) City builders are Diligent!

Proverbs 22:29. They are not just hard working, they work hard to achieve what they have set their minds to do.

Prov 13:23, Prov 12:11. Any christian youth is not at work is a joker! No city builder folds his arm and gets anything done on earth.

If you can't take over your immediate environment, you can't take over your local government! If you can't take over your local government , you can't take over your city! If you can't take over your city, you can't take over your nation!

To be a city builder, you must start by making a difference in your immediate environment!

If you're not able fly, run! If you can't run, walk! If you can't walk, crawl! Just do something, make sure you are not stagnant!

Keep moving because if you don't move, you'll be removed!

Romans 8:14-19

Move now because God is counting on you! Move now because your nation needs you! Move now because the world is waiting for you!
