MEASURING THE TEMPLE OF GOD

WHAT IS MEASURING THE WORSHIPERS MEANS IN REVELATION 11: 1, 2

Revelation 10:11 - "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings." Then He says, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there."

Christ Builds the Church as the Temple of God by Building Himself into us daily.  The Lord today wants to advance: He wants to gain the reality of the Body of Christ in the local churches so that He may dwell among us.

Apostle John was told to measure the worshipers.  Today we can measure church worshipers.  We ask are they dedicated and faithful to God?  Do they have the passion for Christ? Are they hungry and thirsty for more of Him.  We need to pray and build the Temple of God in us.

And also to measure the altars or prayers of the saints – Are they crying out to God for souls or more food?  This is to measure their commitment and sacrifice – whether we have put everything on the altar?  This includes their lives.

Measuring the altar of incense are the prayers of the saints. We have to give something for 24 elders to work as they are holding the bowls in heaven.  One of the angels took the bowls and threw into the earth and there was thunder, lightning and voices.

Are the church doing evangelism work in the last days?  We must ask God for passions for the harvest!  Are we ready to go to the many peoples, nations, tongues and king. 

Zechariah 4:10

“For who has despised the day of small things?
For these we rejoice to see
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.  (Measuring rod)
They are the eyes of the LORD,
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."

God was preparing for the big thing through the small things, and He does that all the time. Thus, any faithful person will not despise the times when only small things are happening, because they mean that big things are coming and that they should prepare themselves for them.  Prepare the way of the LORD’S COMING!  HE WILL SUDDENLY COME INTO HIS TEMPLE AND TAKE OVER. 

PRAYERS:

Father, we thank you for your love for your Church.  We thank you for restoring your Temple/Church these last days.  We repent for not recognizing our temple is your body also.  We ask for the refreshing of our spirit and soul to worship you as never before.  Increase our capacity for more, more of YOU and less of us.

Increase our altars of prayers, altars of warfare prayers and intercessions in our lives. Help us to call our house – A House of Prayers and Intercession that would honour you.

Honour us today and we believe you are able to do exceeding, abundantly and beyond what we ask or think towards you.

Finally we ask for power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessings for this holy Living temple that Christ in us is the hope of Glory.  The Glory of the latter temple will be even greater than the former temple many times.  Upgrade us, measure us and manifest through us for your GLORY.  Amen!
