Revelation of the Word:

THEME: BUILD

2 Corinthians 5:1 NKJV

“For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

INSIGHT

-As a tent is a flimsy abode, so our bodies are frail and vulnerable. God has prepared for us mansions in heaven not built by human hands, not yet seen but believed as eternal reality in Christ Jesus. Christ came as a High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation (Hebrews 9:11). We are therefore called to build up our hope in Him for we have an eternal inheritance in Him and through Him.

SUMMARY

The theme build expresses a dual reality of two diverse realms. The physical sense emanates the actual facts of how and where we live today. The Lord commanded from the beginning to the end that we should be be fruitful. John 15:5 reminds us that if we abide in Christ and He abides in us, then we can bear much  fruit but apart from Him we can do nothing. Isaiah 65:21-24 discloses a realization of some of the blessings that come with fruitfulness saying that, we shall build houses and inhabit them; we shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. We shall not build and another inhabit; and we shall not plant and another eat. The blessings of the Lord indeed makes one rich and adds no sorrow to it. We are called to let the Lord build our houses unless we build in vain (Psalms 127:1). The Lord also build His church upon the solid rock that is Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the spiritual realities enlighten us to build up our most holy faith in Christ Jesus through His Word and consistent prayer in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20). Further, that we should build up our home in God having been promised an eternal abode even as our bodies fade away.

PRAYER

Thank You God for Your promises upon us. Thank You God for the gift of eternal life, we hope and trust in You and Your word. We thank You for have kept us this far and hope that we will see You as You are dear Jesus at the last day. Thank You for the gift of eternal life. All our hope and trust is in You. We humbly ask You to forgive us all our trespasses and wash us with Your precious blood. We humbly implore You to heal our hearts, minds and bodies and transform us to be more like You, in Your nature of love. May You heal all those who are sick and suffering among us. May Your revival come and grant the gift of salvation unto all those who do not know You. May You release financial and economic breakthroughs among Your people and Your nation. May You release unto us all our pending payments and respond to our hearts desires dear Jesus. May You bless us in every sphere dear Lord Jesus. All glory, honor, power and blessings belong to You Lord now and forever. May You bless us and keep us Lord. May You make Your face shine upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance upon us and give us peace. Amen
