BUILD THE CHURCH

One of the greatest victories we can achieve against the devil is to actively participate in building the church of God. This act is not only a divine mandate but also a key to lasting wealth and increase. The church is the most important institution in the world. Jesus Himself affirmed its significance in Matthew 16:18: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Jesus Christ is passionately building His church, and He invites us to join in this divine work. When we choose to build His church, we align ourselves with His will, and in doing so, we secure His presence and favor. This presence causes us to prosper in all our ways.

The Bible further underscores this in Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Seeking God's kingdom begins with a commitment to building His church.

Consider King Solomon, who dedicated himself to building the temple of the Lord. His obedience and devotion led to unmatched prosperity and honor. If God could so richly bless Solomon, how much more will He bless those who build His church today? Decide to be a part of this divine mission, and watch as God establishes and prospers you.

Confession:

I dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the building of the church of God. I align my time, resources, and talents with the advancement of His kingdom. As I build His church, I experience unmatched prosperity and divine favor in every area of my life. Hallelujah! I am a vessel of honor in God’s hands, and through me, His glory is revealed on the earth. Amen!

Matt 16:17-19 “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Zech 1:17 “Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.”
