Repair God’s Temple

 

 

Text: Ezra 5:2 (KJV)

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalam: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

Do you know that God is rebuilding you to be His temple? Many temples have been abandoned and need reconstruction to become useful and habitable. Ask yourself this question: Is His temple (you) still intact, or do you need a proper fitness before the Master can use you? We are his temple, and He is ready to preserve us since His Spirit lives in us. Most of the time, we have experienced so many damages around us which require our wall or temple to be rebuilt. God does not want our bodies to be destroyed; He is always present and ready to destroy all the external forces who wish to vandalize us so that we do not get corrupted with the false doctrines.  He can visit other places, but he dwells and permanently in you so keep His sacred temple sacred. Let us not carelessly chase Him out. 2Corinthians 6:16- And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. He does not amend the body alone but the spiritual, emotional, financial, intellectual part of you. What part are you in?

                                                        

Certain times, policies and regulations are issued to hinder what God is set to do in our lives but it cannot stand. Furthermore, in our text of today, we can see that the people with authority were angry about the great things the children of God were doing to the temple. They even asked who gave the permission or authority to rebuild and to restore the temple. They knew that the resources were available, but they were just trying to hinder God’s work. God is set to do a new thing, but some authorities are trying to challenge them. So, always remember, all you need to rebuild are available, just look deeper. We must always be careful not to hinder God’s divine agenda for our lives. Ephesians 2:21-22- In whom all the building fitly framed together growth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. The good news is that the eye of the Lord is upon us and is ever-ready to stop those trying to hinder His works in us (His temple) in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1) Father, thank you for what you are doing with the assurance that the evil one cannot stop us despite all their authority against me in Jesus name.
