Day 103 Devotional
“In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
The Church is not built to survive. It is built to advance.
THIS IS WHAT HE BUILT
Paul writes that we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself as the cornerstone, being formed into a dwelling place for God through the Spirit (Ephesians 2:19–22).
This is not about attending church. This is about becoming what Jesus died to build. So the question is not whether you go to church. The question is whether you are functioning as His Church.
Are you informed about it and within it, or transformed into it? Are you gathering, or governing? Are you carrying religion, or walking in revelation?
The Church that Jesus built is alive. And it is still being built through people who are willing to become it.
moment: be still, and invite the Lord to apply what you have read.

Respond
TRUST THE LORD
Lord, thank You for this week’s word. Shape my heart by Scripture, not by noise or status. Where I have chased recognition, return me to simple obedience. Let the truth I have read bear fruit in love and humility. Amen.
