Colossians 1:18

*“.. he is the head of the body, the church: .. that in all things he might have the preeminence ” (Col. 1:18).*


The house built by Moses was according to the pattern shown by God. The house was only a shadow of the house which is now being built by the Lord Jesus Christ. God kept Moses in the wilderness for forty year and then on the mountain for 40 days to empty him of his own wisdom. There, on the mountain, God gave him the heavenly pattern of the house to be built and also warned him to take heed and build after the pattern which was shown (Exo. 25:40). Every detail of the construction of the tabernacle was shown to Moses. Neither Moses nor anyone else could change the pattern. The words “as the LORD commanded Moses” are repeated eight times in Exodus chapter 40. In building the tabernacle, Moses followed every detail given by God. Only then God’s glory could fill the tabernacle. Now the Lord Jesus Christ is building the spiritual House with our partnership. None of us can make any change in that plan. If Moses could not make any alteration in building the material house, how can we make any alteration for the spiritual House? But many God’s servants make some changes, and do God’s work with human wisdom. That is why we see defeat, failure, barrenness and darkness in our midst. We are warned from God’s Word to take heed in building His House. In the name of a constitution, people have brought in many changes. Also darkness and wrong teaching have crept into the Church.

If we want to take any share in the building of God’s House, first of all, we must keep ourselves under the Headship, Lordship and Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. To build a large building, the chief engineer will have a plan. Masons and other workers will be under him. Whatever he says they must do. In the same way, when our personal life, family life and church life are brought under the complete Lordship, Headship and Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can hear God’s voice day by day for our guidance. But if we are defiled by any sin, we become deaf spiritually and cannot hear God’s voice. That is why many people are deaf spiritually and their ears are hardened so that they cannot understand what God wants to say. Also they become blind spiritually. They do not know God’s plan. Only by keeping ourselves under the Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ in our personal life, family life, and church life, we can know God’s will. Then we will become partners in building God’s everlasting habitation. At the same time we can enjoy God’s fullness in His House. God’s love is fully expressed in His House. Every one of us has a Heavenly calling to be true co-workers of the Lord Jesus Christ, to build His everlasting habitation under His Headship. We can take our share in the building of that glorious sanctuary, provided we are willing to come under His Headship and Lordship.
