“In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:22)
The church is the house of Jesus; it is a spiritual entity supervised by the Holy Ghost through ministers. The template in the building of His church is for us to do as the Lord instructs by following the leading of the Spirit. The building of God’s house (the church) is continuous; that is why the Holyghost is on-site to see everything is constructed according to the pattern.
We are being built for an habitation of God. The Holy Ghost is supervising a people for to become the kind of house that God can dwell in. Any place that God will stay must have natures or properties that can not go stale or fade away. God is looking for a construction that can endure like Him. The project the Holy Ghost is doing in the church is to raise a house that is incorruptible, undefiled and that doesn’t fade (1 Peter 1:4), but first a foundation has to be laid which is Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10).
(Hebrews 1:11-12) The project the Holy Ghost is supervising is a building that transcends the present. We are raw materials for the building of the house of God. God would not dwell in a house that doesn’t look like him. God can not exist outside God. God is God’s natural habitation. Righteousness is God’s ecosystem. Where righteousness does not exist, God can’t stay there. God wants to raise a house and a habitation. Habitation is not just one building but a community.
God’s throne is established in righteousness. Righteousness is intrinsic to God’s life. Righteousness is the oxygen in the realm of God. You can’t say you have been built by God and not live in righteousness. The first commodity man would be given for building is to make him righteous.
“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Hebrews 5:11-14).
“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.” (Hebrews 6:1-2).
A man who will be God’s habitation must have the foundation of milk and Christ properly laid. The pre-foundation is the milk of the word which is the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ. This must be laid before Christ our foundation is laid. There is a righteousness that milk teaches such as discipline, giving etc which has its faith (toward God) but what the faith of Christ will reveal is the righteousness of God showing a man how to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.
There is a righteousness that milk teaches us or installs in our person and it is to prepare us for the salvation of Christ. Faith towards God is a teaching of righteousness. The milk of the word teaches a kind of love for the saint (Ephesians 1:15).
When men glory in men, it reflects a defect in milk because the righteousness in milk is not properly laid. Are we to honor men and discern the glory of God in/through them? Yes, but we are not to glory in men. The righteousness of milk would also teach you that you are not better, but you are just privileged (Romans 14:3). The righteousness of God is higher than the righteousness of man (Romans 5:6-8). The righteousness of God is from Faith to Charity (1 Corinthians 13:13).
The house of God is a house full of and built with stones. It is a house of stones. The current nature of man is flesh and under the supervision of the Holy Ghost, God wants to turn man from flesh to stone. The process of turning man from flesh to stone is through the revealing of righteousness. This is how we will mortify the deeds of the flesh e.g greed, haughtiness e.t.c (Romans 8:13).
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29).
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)
God will require us to bear one another’s burden. This is how we unburden, by taking up another’s burden. Bearing burden is bringing them into light.
In this season, we must not be tired of learning and believing all God has said. This year, we must believe that all things are possible. The Lord would appear unto us. When He appears and He is removing things, we must not be tired.
