READ: Matthew 16:13-20
“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.” – Matthew 16:18
I will build my church: Jesus Christ declared it! The greatest prophecy about church growth came from Jesus Himself. He prophesied, “I will build my church!”
This prophecy has come to pass and is still being fulfilled. It is because of this prophecy that I give myself to building churches, both spiritually and physically. Why swim against the tide? Why do something that God is not doing? If Jesus is building the church, why would you build something else? Jesus is not building hotels! Jesus is not building political parties! Jesus is not building businesses! Jesus is not building banks! Jesus is building His church!
It is not a mean task to make profit from any activity you are involved in. You must have a proper respect for all business ventures. Business may look like something you can do on the side but I tell you there is no work that will not require your mind, your heart, your time, your energy and your love, if it is to succeed. You have to labour with all your heart if there will be profit.
There are many prophecies that the church will be built. These prophecies declare that God’s kingdom will be established in the last days. These prophecies encourage us to keep working in the church, knowing that God will increase us and bless our efforts. We have a more sure word of prophecy that will come to pass practically in our lives (2 Peter 1:19). We must take heed to this prophecy and give ourselves to the work of building the church. The church must be built at all cost because that is the will of God.
