I went to Friendship Park in Atchinson, KS years ago and while there the Lord spoke to me and said, America’s transportation building started with the rivers, then they followed the trails, then they built the rails, next they laid the roads, and now they are going to the realms. This understanding changed my life. Once there is seemingly nothing else to build physically, you want to build something successfully. Henceforth the love for platforms, positions and people seeing you, hearing you, loving you.

We were created to build things, create things, have a purpose for our existence on earth. This is a God given reality we all carry. This past month I have had life altering experiences with people who built cities. It started with Milton and Catherine Hershey, who built Hershey, PA and now it is happening with Daniel Pratt who built Prattville, AL. Men with vision, purpose, ideas and execution. They didn’t pursue riches, they pursued building communities and riches followed.

These men built cities for people not to get rich. They got rich from doing it, but they always invested it back in creating something for people to thrive in, to express their gifts in, and to build their families in. Hebrews 11 says, Abraham was looking for a city whose builder and maker was God. Cities are clusters of people who are building something together.

When we build together, we have a sense of purpose, community and authority, for we are doing it together. God is building the kingdom of God on earth and it is not about pursuing riches, they will follow; nor is it about being famous, He is the only name that this city will be known by. The days of not knowing our purpose are ending, the days of building is here. We are being invited to build lives together with the gifts we have been given in order to manifest the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. It’s time to build.
