READ: Matthew 16:13-20
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?”
Luke 2:49
Our Father’s business is the business that has to do with God. God is happy and impressed when some people want to be about His business, rather than their own business. Building a mega church means taking God’s business to the highest height possible.
The gates of hell are mentioned only once in the entire Bible (Matthew 16:18). The gates of hell are associated with the building of the church. Anyone who involves himself in the building of the church will be working next to the gates of hell itself. At the gates of hell, there will be evil powers, evils spirits and wicked entities going in and out, looking at what you are doing.
Whenever you start building the church, you are defeating satan and his cohorts right in front of their front gate. Defeating satan at the gates of hell means that you have gone into his territory and put him on the defensive. Satan is constantly on the defensive whenever you are building a church.
Your enemy is always weaker when you are fighting in front of his gate. No one wants a fight in front of his gate. It is always much better to fight in front of your enemy’s gate. When the fight is in front of your enemy’s gate, he has only one chance to make a mistake. Do not be worried about counter attacks. Most of satan’s attacks against church buildings are helpless gasps and death gargles of a loser. Those who attack church builders are clutching at straws, trying to find something to weaken their enemy who is overwhelming them.
