SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
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 (Matthew 16:18).
The Church of Jesus Christ is not weak or fragile; it’s indestructible. It’s not an organization trying to survive; it’s a divine institution built by the Lord Jesus Himself. He declared, “I will build my church,” and what He builds is eternal, powerful and glorious. You’re a part of His Church, not as a bystander, but as a living stone (1 Peter 2:5).
That means you were chosen, shaped and placed by God in the Body of Christ to reflect His glory and fulfil His purpose. You’re not a mistake. You’re built to last and designed to shine. You’re not a part of something that can fail. The Church is not subject to the systems or structures of this world. We operate heavenly principles. We’re powered by the Holy Spirit and governed by the Word.
That’s why persecution, opposition, or adversity cannot destroy us. Instead, we grow stronger, more vibrant, and more impactful. James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” Romans 8:35 tells us that there’s no amount of tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, perils or suffering that can prevail against us.
Then from verses 37-39, it says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The gates of hell, the strategies, structures and systems of darkness will never prevail against the Church. We’re more than conquerors.
We have Satan where He belongs: under our feet. We’re in dominion. We’re reigning. We’re joint-heirs with Christ, associates of the God-kind, vessels of eternal excellence. We’re unstoppable. The glory of God is revealed in and through us. That’s the Church of Jesus Christ today—built to last, designed for glory.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me a living stone in the glorious Church of Jesus Christ—built to last and designed for glory. Thank you for the authority you’ve granted us to execute your will and manifest your glory in the earth. Today, your children, all over the world, walk in power, purpose and victory as they proclaim the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
