God is the reformer of this house
When we talk about a building, it is also wise to know the contractor that built it. He is the one who has the whole fact about the building from the foundation to the finishing. No matter how good a contractor is, once he or she is offered a building, he or she first of all asks some relevant questions about the building and the contractor who has previously commenced work on it. In many cases, the new contractor ends up declining the offer to complete a building he or she did not commence and advises the owner to allow the contractor who started the project to fully execute the finishing.
Even when that building is dilapidated, it is always wise to call the contractor who erected such building in the first place, especially if the person is still alive. There is need for that. He or she knows where needs to be fortified and where it does not need to be tempered with, if not that can cause a great threat to the whole building leading to a total collapse. Most of the casualties in life is because people did not ask adequate questions before embarking on a project they know nothing or little about.

The house we are talking about that God is the reformer of it, is the house built by God. God is the ultimate builder and He is still in the business of reforming any house that needs to be reformed. No one in the whole universe can reform this house more better than God Almighty. It takes the builder to be able the reform the building adequately. The builder knows the materials deployed while building and what it takes for the building to stand.
6 – “But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 – And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis chapter 2 verses 6 to 7)
No one in the whole universe can reform this house more better than God Almighty.
The physical man is the house that God Almighty built that will house Him. It was perfect house for God Almighty. It was at the state of perfection before God could accept to live in it. Of course God cannot live in an anyhow building. I know God cannot compromise about the house that will house Him to reveal His glory. The glory of God can destroy any building which is not right to carry the glory. There are vessels of honour. These are vessels that have been tried and trusted. The house of God must be tried and trusted before it can stand the taste to be used by the Master.
The fall of man in Genesis chapter 3, brought a dart on this house.
8 – “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 – And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 – And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” (Genesis chapter 3 verses 8 to 9)
I know God cannot compromise about the house that will house Him to reveal His glory
When man went against the principles of God and yielded to the suggestion of the devil, that caused a great effect on this house. This house was not the way God wants it to be and it was devalued from the standard of God’s house. God cannot compromise the standard of the house He will dwell in. It must satisfy the taste of God Almighty. If not He will have nothing to do with it.
God knew what it cost Him to erect and bring this house into scene. Yes, it cost God everything and only God can give it its proper reformation. That is the reason when people go about seeking solutions to their problems out of the will of God, they end up getting themselves into much problems than they have previously. There is no true solution of mankind out of the One that made man. Man is God’s responsibility on everything. You can’t get to the best of you out of God. It is in God that man can find safety and be satisfied.
It must satisfy the taste of God Almighty. If not He will have nothing to do with it.
When Jesus came into the scene, at one of His conversations with His disciples He asked what do men say about me?
13 – “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 – And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 – He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 – And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 – And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 – 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.” (Mathew chapter 16 verses 13 to 18)
Conclusion
Jesus is God in the flesh and He is in the business of building His house which is the church. Jesus said when He built the house that the gate of hell shall not prevail against it. In essence, if man tries to build this house on his accord which is not in accordance to the will of God, that the gate of hell will prevail against it. Surrender completely to God and you will be a happy person.
