THE KINGDOM BUILDERS
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."
Key Message: The pathway to the fulfilment of our glorious destiny in the kingdom depends on our commitment in building with Him.
The epistle of Paul in *Romans 8:30;* makes us to understand that every child of God has a glorious destiny in the kingdom.
"Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Jesus Christ is the master builder and we have been called to be His associates in building the kingdom. Jesus said in Matthew 12:30; _"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."_
You can't be in the kingdom idle. It's either you are building by contributing your own quota according to God's grace upon your life or you are destroying by looking for opportunities to cause discord among the brethren.
Also, you can't add value to the kingdom beyond the level of your spirituality. Apostle Paul rebuked the Corinthians Church because of their immaturity in the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 3:3;* *_"For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?"_
You see, the kingdom business can not be handled by babes. There is a peak of spiritual maturity we must attain before the real cause of the kingdom could be committed in our hand.
We can't actually do anything successfully in the kingdom unless we are empowered to do it. Our heart for God is what attracts us to God's grace to do the impossible.
Sanballat and Tobias ridiculed Nehmaiah and other volunteer-builders of the broken wall of Jerusalem because they knew the project was beyond them. But when they observed their progress, they began to look for a way to hinder the work.
The most difficult people to handle in the kingdom are religious Christians who decide to remain babies. It is too dangerous when citizens of the kingdom refuse to grow spiritually.
We all have a mandate to build long with Christ. That is why it's very imperative we subject to His Lordship by being clothed with humility to regard His leading and direction per time. I pray the Lord will help you to be a wise builder indeed.
ASSIGNMENT
_Be committed to whatever you're doing to add value to God's kingdom on the earth. The most valuable sacrifice before God is our commitment to see souls saved._
PRAYER
Father, empower me afresh with the spirit of love to keep adding value to your kingdom by being faithful to the great commission._
DAILY BIBLE READING
_Neh. 1 - 4, Pro. 24:3, Mat. 6:33; 28:18-20_
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Prophesy greatness to your life. As you keep being committed to advance His kingdom may your life never go down. The giant in you will emerge and the hand of God will rest upon you for exploits._
Be Blessed
