Sharing is caring!
The question came so clearly to me in the early morning of October 19, 2023 – Whose house are you building?
As I process the question and its implications, I could also feel the heart of the Father, broken and angry.
It is a pivotal moment, it is an urgent time, it’s the announced hour.
“My House shall be built as I prescribe it. Those who are not with me are against me,” says the Lord.
“Solomon decided to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord, and also a royal palace for himself. He enlisted a force of 70,000 laborers, 80,000 men to quarry stone in the hill country, and 3,600 foremen. – 2 Chronicles 2:1-2 NLT
You have called it the fivefold ministry, but the establishment of these ministries and the development of ministers have become optional, out of order and even obstructed. Yet you claim to be My Church?
Am I not good? Am I not righteous? Am I not just?
Who dares to question and quench what I have said, defined and given for My Church?
“For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.” 2 Peter 1: 3 AMP
Yet you continue to struggle with a saviour complex; you dishonour My name by attracting and accommodating other spirits and idols; you implement systems and structures based on personal agendas, religion, and worldly standards.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
* for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, * for the edifying of the body of Christ,
till we all come,
– to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
– to a perfect man,
– to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV
Let us reason this out –
“But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.” 1 Sam. 15:22 NLT
Did I not say I am seeking true worshipers? Those who pursue Me and not any man, those who serve Me and not themselves, those who worship Me in the Spirit and in truth, and not earthly idols?
Did I not say I will vomit you out of My mouth, if you are lukewarm?
“I am separating and distinguishing those who are truly for Me,” says the Lord, “those who have denied themselves, taken up their cross and are following Me completely.”
In the midst of chaos shall My order come. In the midst of war, shall there be peace for those who truly yield. In the midst of destruction, I will build My Ekklesia.
“To My tried and tested, My secret place dwellers, My called-out ones, My burning ones:
I am calling you out, to lead from the front. I have chosen you to carry My glory and power in this hour. I have mantled you as pioneers, to establish and govern over cities. For you have proven yourself faithful, stripped and trustworthy.”
People of God, choose whom you will serve, for we are now on the threshing floor!
