“ The Necessity of God’s House”

• We can’t understand the important of the House of God unless we know It's meaning

There are two major meanings of the “House of God”

The first meaning of the word “House of God” is the Church building

Other was concern of the Heights of

their church building

Other was concern for the wide of

their church building

Other was at the top of the mountain

Other was without building

• Haggai 1;• 5 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down woods build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored, ” says the Lord. 9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.My Church is destroyed

Problems that the Church faces today.

Hebrew 10;25

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one another as so much more as the days Approaching”.

Revelations 2;4

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast

left thy first love.”

Another Problems that the Church faces today

Forsaking the assembly

Left thy first Love

This is a major problems of the local Churches as House of God today.

Why Church is necessary? Psalms 84 :2-4 and verse 10

• 1st; it is a place that we can sing praises and worship songs to God– V2; my heart and flesh sings for joy

• 2nd; It is a place where our soul rest when we are spiritually tired.– V3 even the sparrow finds a Home-

• 3rd; it is a way that we can receive heavenly blessings from God– V4- blessed are those who dwells in your

house-• 4th; it is a good place that our family gathers

for fellowship– V10 for in the day in your courts is better than

thousand elsewhere-

 1 Corinthians 6:19 New International VersionDo you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own

 

Your body

Temple of the holy spirit

The second meaning of the word house of God is our heart

The different kind of hearts today

This heart is a Thankful heart

This heart is a Loving heart

This heart is a Broken heart

Others their heartWas close for Jesus

Romans 10;13-15

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How shall they call on him in whom they have not believe? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Not heard

Without a preacher

What are the reasons why some heart was closed for God?

1. It is because they don’t have the opportunity to listen

to the word of God.

Psalm 122;1

I was glad when they said unto me

let us go into the house of the Lord.Let us go into the house of the Lord

2.It is because you did not invite

them.

• Romans 8;11 but if the spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Jesus from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit who dwells in you.

dwells

quicken

Holy Spirit

3.Doubtful and lack of trust to the Power of the Holy Spirit.
