The House That Jesus Built

Ken

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain” (Psalm 127:1 KJV). Solomon the Psalmist stressed the importance of building the LORD’s house through the wisdom, power, and the instrumentality of the LORD. How much more does the New Covenant Body of Christ possess the Holy Spirit to build the Church! Until the Spirit of God impresses us with the need of His empowerment, providence, and working, we will continue to view the challenges and shortcomings of the NT Church as our own problem to manifest our skill and cunning in building or fixing the Church. But, when it finally occurs to us that the ups and downs of the Body of Christ are all part of the Holy Spirit stirring up His Church to become The House That Jesus Built (Matthew 16:18), then we will begin asking that Holy Spirit to build His Church. LORD, may Your Spirit impress our consciousness with Your Presence, Power, and Working, that You may receive the glory for building Your Church. In Jesus’ name, build Your Church, we pray. Amen and amen.
