The zeal for Your house...!

Psalms 69:9 NKJV

Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

Shalom! Day #240. Do you know that the more you seek God, the zealous you will be in doing His works? Let's pray. Father, let us not turn back from following You and serving You. Let there be such a zeal in our heart's to continue to follow You, serve You and to trust You despite all the situations and circumstances we face daily. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Are you zealous for God? The Bible says in Romans 12:11 "not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." In other words, I paraphrase it, it means let blazing spirit, a fiery spirit in serving the Lord. I can relate the word zealous means to be diligent, be fanatic in serving the Lord, passionate, devoted, committed, dedicated, a real hard-core believer, energetic and there's a lot to be related to this one word ZEALOUS. The Greek word zeal is ZELOS, which means the same of what I mentioned above. People who are so passionate, diligent will never ever give up in following and trusting God. Even in the new testament it is written in John 12:17, and about what Jesus did. It is clear that Jesus was "consumed" with something. He was driven by zeal, a burning passion and enthusiasm, but, for what? The answer is simple "THE FATHER'S HOUSE." 

In today's verse we are going to learn something new, even for me as I was reading and studying this verse, the Holy Spirit began to open my mind to understand what is this passage is about. The Father's house. The zeal for the House of God has consumed us. Now, do you know where is the Father's house? In the new testament, the church isn't a physical building but it's a spiritual and relational building of living stones built upon the Rock, the foundation of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "on this rock I will build My church and the gates of hell shall not prevail." If Jesus is zealous about building this "church" what would His enemy try to do? Certainly the devil will not sit quietly, for sure he will try to destroy whatever Jesus is trying to build. This is why the church has a lot of troubles - (persecution), the devil tries to destroy the "church" of God. In this last days, God is Rebuilding His temple,  and the devil is actively trying to destroy it. Even in the mayor all this, Jesus is still consumed with a zeal to build His church. The ferventness of our spirit, the passion within us must draw us close to God and to do His will. The reason or the purpose of God creating us is so that He can have an intimate relationship with us as we continue to walk with Him, to serve Him to worship, to pray and communicate with Him and to read and meditate on His words. Now, the reason or the purpose of your life is to do the will of God, the great commission Matthew 28:18-20. Are we being consumed with such a zeal toward building the spiritual house of God? Are we sowing our time into winning souls and discipling them? Building the spiritual house of God. Preparing the bride for the Bridegroom. Even to this hour, Jesus is still actively building His church, what about us? Are we fervently doing the will of God? God bless You.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
