All Nations Flow to Zion
All Nations Flow to Zion

“Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (The Church!)”
Isaiah 2:2,3
Look at all the prophetic realities from Isaiah’s prophecy for this move of God in the earth today!
Prophecy Fulfilled
“it shall come to pass in the latter days” – let’s say “this is that!”
God is showing us how He builds the Church, it is the latter days and we are seeing God’s Word come to pass every day. Nations are coming and being taught God’s ways.
God’s House is being Established
“the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established”
The mountain of the Lord’s House speak about the Church today.
Heb 12:22-24 “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”
Jesus is building His Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it! We are worshipping God in spirit and truth and as we praise Him He inhabits our praises and releases His blueprint for His Church to us line upon line, precept upon precept. Jesus Christ is formed in people as we are equipped with the Word by the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and as we all do our share there is growth of the Body of Christ in love.
We have Jesus’ Zeal for His House
Just as Jesus cleansed the temple in His time on earth, He is doing it today in the Church and there is a mighty reformation that is aligning the Church with Jesus’ dreams of his Bride prepared and ready for the Great Marriage Feast!
We are the Temple of the Lord
1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1Co 3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is such a vital part of being a worshipper, because then we can be transformed into a temple of the Lord. Individually and collectively.
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Look after your body and honour the fact that God’s Spirit dwells in you. You might treat yourself and others differently – with more respect!
All Nations Flow to True Church
Nations desire God’s ways and are hungry for the Word. People want to know how God works and how Jesus builds His Church so that gates of hell will not prevail against it. People from all nations are tired of the show of church and want to worship God in Spirit and in truth. God’s Spirit once spoke to me as a leader – let my people worship Me. It was during a MBC Chapel Service. It was a simple instruction to allow people time to express themselves spontaneously in different forms of worship to the Almighty God, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. Don’t let your programme rob people of an opportunity to worship God. Make seeking Jesus the most pre-eminent part of every meeting and focus all activities on Christ Jesus, bringing worship to Him in every aspect of church life.
Teaching Happens where Jesus is Seen
We are fulfilling this because we are teaching people God’s Ways in Worship! The nations are at our doorstep – let’s welcome them in and show hospitality and care for them. Across the world the nations are calling us “blessed of the Lord!” What a wonderful time to be involved in Jesus Christ’s Church that He is Building!
