I will build my Church
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.
The testimony of Peter that Christ is the true son of God is the begining of the foundation of the church of Christ. He is the rock of ages on which the church must be built.
The church which means ekklisia refers to people, not the building or the cathedral or houses we build. The church is the called out assembly of God's people.
They are called out of the world by their belief that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. No man can take credit of building the church of God, the church is built on a Message, the salvation brought by Christ, not a MAN. Men come and go, succeed and fail, but the true revelation of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the church
The church is the only thing that cannot be shaken, Individual saints and local assemblies may have problems or faced with persecution, but the church is as solid as the rock of revelation it is built upon. The earth is to be shaken (Isaiah 2:19-21), the nation of Israel is to be shaken (Ezekiel 38:19-20), The heavens and the nations are to be shaken (Haggai 2:6-7), Everything that can be shaken will be shaken (Hebrews 12:26-29) But the church cannot be shaken! The gates of hell cannot prevail against it, because JESUS IS BUILDING HIS CHURCH!
As much as many desired the truth about Christ and have surrendered their old nature of sin to become one of the church of God, many shepherd has led them astray through vain glory and diluted messages fabricated from their own lust
Many have been deceived by false prophets, many have been deceived by fake miracles, signs and wonders and lies from the pit of hell.
Christ will build his church again, the spirit of the living God will filter the church, the false prophets, wolves disguising as shepherds, and thief's among the Apostles shall all be exposed and the truth of Christ shall be made known in His Church.
The gate of hell, persecution, tribulations, attacks from the devil and the society, mockery and afflictions shall not prevail over His church, instead it will make the church stronger everyday.
Christ will build His church again... Are you His church? You will be built and the gate of hell and darkness shall not prevail over you.
God bless you.
