“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 84: 4

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

We, the bride, the church are changed by God as an eternal house.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should receive the eternal mercy that does not leave us from the Lord.

Next what we are meditating upon is that 2 Samuel 7: 18 – 21 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? 

And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord God? 

Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, know Your servant. 

For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, you have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

In the above-mentioned words, after the Lord finished telling the things that Nathan must tell David and after Nathan finished telling those things to David, then King David went to the presence of the Lord and what he said was regarding all the blessings that the Lord had done for him and said “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord God? Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, know Your servant. For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, you have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

So David in 2 Samuel 7: 22 – 26 Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 

And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? 

For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.

“Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. 

So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

By the above-mentioned words, David is glorifying God. That is, You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God. “Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. In this manner, David requested before the Lord and said and now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

My dear people, the fact regarding the above-mentioned verses is that God saying that I will build a house for you is a pattern of the eternal house. This kind of big thing is a gift which God is giving each one of us. If we want to receive this gift, we should walk according to the truthful words of God. We must submit ourselves completely and we must manifest as his church and within that we must be filled with glory and be transfigured and be as those who harvest souls and the people of God who have been harvested should be made steadfast within God and for them God only will be their God and if we will prepare ourselves in this manner then when God establishes his eternal house within us his name will be glorified in us. Regarding this David with a pattern, let the house of Your servant David be established before You. For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You. In this manner, we must also confess at the feet of the Lord and to possess his promise

2 Samuel 7: 29 Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

By the above-mentioned words, let us submit ourselves to be blessed in this manner.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
