1. Our goal is that all things are subject to Christ; for this, it is necessary that, first of all, the church be under His rule. Some submit first—these constitute the church’s strong part, which is Zion. We are all called to be part of Zion, those who fight for the kingdom (Ephesians 1:10).
2. God desires that we be attentive to His word, which not only brings revelation but also empowers us to accomplish His work, resulting in the edification of the church. A church that is built up is not made up of selfish individuals; rather, it is a united, organic, and engaged Body, mobilized to fulfill the Lord’s will on Earth (1 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 1:22-23).
3. Thus, hearing the word, the church understands the Lord’s will and readily rises to obey. In this way, God can count on an army that will bring Him back. Difficulties tend to increase, but if we remain attentive to the word, our commitment will also be strengthened. Against the built up church, the gates of Hades will not prevail (Matthew 16:18).
4. “To remain in the blessing, it is necessary to have the same heart as Abraham: to seek nothing for oneself, but to surrender everything to the Lord. Everything we are and everything we have belongs to the Lord, therefore we should not seek personal ambitions or self-exaltation, neither in the church nor in society. Whoever does not develop such a heart ends up following the path of Lot, gradually drifting away from life” (Daily Food, book 8, week 2, Tuesday, p. 26).
