The Lord's House

Matthew 21:13 And He said to them, "It is written, My House will be called a house of prayer and you have made it into a den of thieves!"


As we continue through Holy Week we are mindful of the scripture above. Can you imagine Jesus walking into your local church with the same anger and disgust? I mean out of all the places they could have gone to do unholy things, they chose to do it in The Lord's House. Just sin on top of sin.  Let's take it even further since we are now the temple of The Lord. It would be even more shameful to hear Jesus question what we have turned our bodies into. While we were sinners we had every opportunity to misbehave and count it for ignorance. Now being born again and knowing Whose we are we then know that our life as well as our bodies belongs to God for His glory. So have your life or body been used for God's glory lately? Are you taking care of yourself, fornicating, harboring anger, or mistreating your body in any way? Allow Him to drive out all that is hindering Him from receiving glory through your vessel today. Light can only shine when darkness is absent. When The Light comes darkness flees! In Matt. 21:12 it illustrates Jesus being The Light driving out every dark intruder that came into His House and He can do it for you. So proclaim, This shall be called the house of worship. The place where God lives!
