(The Church Is Stronger Today Than Ever Before!)
TO THE BIBLE: Matthew 21:44
“And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
LET’S TALK
The Church of Jesus Christ is the ground and pillar of truth (1 Timothy 3:15). However, some have set themselves as enemies of the Church. Some have vowed that by the time they are through with Christianity, nobody will remember it existed.
In Psalm 2:4, the Bible shows us that “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.” Such misled folks are not alone in their delusion; many have made such empty threats before, but God’s Word and His work outlived them and will yet outlive anyone who stands in its path.
We’re in the biggest and greatest union that the world has ever seen; we’re in the greatest team ever. We aren’t into something irrelevant, weak or fading away; the Church of Jesus Christ is stronger, bigger, and more effective today than any time in history. This is the reality.
We’re seeing more extraordinary miracles today than at any time in the history of the Church. Haggai 2:9 says, “The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former….” That’s His Word, and that’s what’s going on all around the world.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church is stronger than ever before; His influence, impact and work are evident in the Body of Christ today more than ever.
Those who keep whipping the Church, saying that the Church today is void of power and in a backslidden state, are not in touch with reality; they do not see rightly.
Jesus prayed for the Father to send the Holy Spirit. Then He (Jesus) ascended to heaven, and the Holy Spirit has been with us ever since, building the Church. He’s in charge of the Church today; He’s the Lord of the harvest.
It’ll therefore be out of place for anyone to suggest that the Church is failing in the hands of the Holy Spirit when, in reality, we’re making the most significant impact for the Lord in our day. Glory to His Name forever!

Speak:
I belong to the Church of the living God, the ground and pillar of truth, where I’m taught the Word, equipped, trained, nurtured, built, and edified in wisdom and righteousness! Thank you, Father, for your power and glory in the Church and your work of righteousness that’s being spread and established all over the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
