You are His built 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 for it to become useful and habitable again. Ask yourself this question: Is His temple (you) still intact, or do you need a proper fitness before the Master can use you because His Spirit is in you? Most of the time, we have experienced so many damages around us waiting to rebuilt. He is ready to destroy all the external forces set to vandalize us. You are that precious entity that God is living and abiding in as His temple. He can visit other places, but dwells permanently in you, so always keep His sacred temple preserved. 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 just want to amend the physical body but also the spiritual, emotional, financial, intellectual part of you as all parts are relevant. He has sent his prophets, ministers, and diligent professionals in different fields as helpers and supporters to you, so that the work can prosper and move fast. Ephesians 4:11-12- And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. What part of the body are you?

 

Amazingly, some policiesare issued to hinder what God is doing in our lives. For instance, in today’s text, we can see that the people with authority were angry with thegreat work in the temple. They even questioned them, asking who gave them permission or authority to rebuild and restore the temple. They knew that the resources needed were available, but they were just trying to hinder God’s work. Friends, God is always set to do a new thing, but some authorities are trying to challenge them. So always remember, all you need to rebuild are available, look deeper. We must always be carefulnot 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). He is jealously guiding us with His eyes, and we shall not go astray in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

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

ACTION QUOTE:Friends, God is sending supporters to repair that broken you.
