This month we are exploring and praying for ways we can do refresh relationships within the Church. How? By taking care of the BODY (Faculties), taking care to BUILD (Fortify) the Kingdom, taking care of the BUSINESS (Finances), and taking care of the BELIEVER (Faithful).
This week, let's explore ways we can build (fortify) the Kingdom of God! Be the R.O.C.K. which Jesus spoke of when He spoke to Peter. We are:
R- RESPONSIBLE to God
O- OBEDIENT to God
C- CHARACTER of God
K- KEEP the principles of God
MONDAY: Matthew 16:18 KJV
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.
TUESDAY: Hebrews 10:24-25
God's Word Translation
We are Responsible to God;
We must gather in the house before we can gather the harvest
24 We must also consider how to encourage each other to show love and to do good things. 25 We should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some of you are doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of the Lord coming.
WEDNESDAY: 1 Corinthians 14:26 NIV
We must be Obedient to God;
Build the worshipper before you build the worker
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
THURSDAY: Ephesians
2:19-22
God's Word Translation
We must show the Character of God;
Our work is in building citizenship status not increasing church membership stats
19 That is why you are no longer foreigners and outsiders but citizens together with God’s people and members of God’s family. 20 You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone. 21 In him all the parts of the building fit together and grow into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 Through him you, also, are being built in the Spirit together with others into a place where God lives.
FRIDAY: 1 Corinthians 3:9-10
God's Word Translation
We must Keep the principles of God;
Keep building on the foundation of the ROCK even when things get rocky
9 We are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field. You are God’s building. 10 As a skilled and experienced builder, I used the gift that God gave me to lay the foundation ⌊for that building⌋. However, someone else is building on it. Each person must be careful how he builds on it.
