You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men. (Matthew 5:13)And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)
The House of God was to be called the House of Prayer. She was to be the influence of change in her world. But
that wasn’t what the Lord discovered when He visited the temple. Instead of bringing change to the marketplace, the House of God became the marketplace. Instead of becoming an influence, she had become one with them. She had strayed from her purpose and lost her influence. Jesus became consumed with the Lord’s holy zeal. He turned the tables and chased the merchants. To transform the marketplace, we must first be transformed. While we are in the world, we are not of the world. We need to keep that distinction clear and only then can we affect change.
Prayer Points:
- Repent for turning the Lord’s House into a marketplace
- Repent for conforming to the world instead of being transformed by the renewing of our minds
- The Church to be true to her values while serving God in the world
- The Church would know how to be different and at the same time remain relevant.
