His intention was to have a corporate man that would multiply, express Him and rule over the whole earth. God's intention was that man would rule for him on the earth and subdue everything in his dominion or Kingdom. But it did not take long before man choose to become independent, Man disobeyed God and even left the presence of God. No longer listening to God's word but doing what whas right and evil according to their own imagination. When they left the presence of God they build cities in which to dwell and exalted themselves to the uttermost. Babel was a prime example where man did everything according to their own imagination to exalt themselves by building a tower with all their names written on to reach the heavens and challenge God.
But God did not give up and continued his work to subdue mankind and He raised up some God fearing ones to do the work that he originally started, which is to rule and reign with him on the earth and let his Kingdom come and spread on earth as it was in the heavens. It took several generations of prophets, priests and kings to accomplish what God was trying to do and eventually God gained a group of people who no longer worshipped idols but continued to maintain his testimony on earth by building a tabernacle that eventually was replaced by the temple where God and man could meet and move upon the earth.
God's work has never ceased and continues even today. Jesus said that He come to do the will of the Father and to finish his work. He is the real high priest and king that gathered God's people into one corporate Body both Jews, Greeks and Gentiles. He not only came to work amongst them to heal the blind, lame and sick but continued to raised up many disciples who became the real priesthood and kings who eventually will finish the work of God with Christ when He comes back to rule and reign over the whole earth.
Today there are still many who are called and chosen to carry out Gods work. All those who are born of the Spirit have entered into the kingdom of God and are God's children, having being born of the Spirit. They not only live by the Spirit but also walk by the Spirit and become the Sons of God who express him and rule for him wherever they may be.
He said that he would build his church and that the gates of hell would not prevail against the build church. The church today is not a chapel in the air or a huge building on a hill or center of a town but the many members of the Body of Christ who are spiritually united and build in Him to express him and rule for Him wherever they are.
Christ has build, re-constituted and given some as apostles, shepherds and teachers for the perfecting of the Saints unto the building up of the Body of Christ. As the many members are being perfected they function as true priests, not merely being ordained by mankind but by having become the true representatives or ambassadors as it were for Christ upon the earth. Furthermore they rule for Him whenever they come together and pray according to the will of the Father that is being revealed to them via the Spirit of Christ or the anointing within their being.
Are you a called one, born of the Spirit, a true representative of Christ on the earth today fulfilling the Fathers heart desire?. Are you expressing and ruling for him on the Earth as he intended you to do?
We all should ask ourselves this question to ensure that we keep on the right track to express God and rule for him which was his intention and purpose from the beginning and for what God has created you for!
Again let us read the scriptures for they unveil to us all the counsel of God so that we may live a peaceful and tranquil life while participating and accomplishing Gods will upon the earth as it is in heaven. Praise the Lord that he came to finish the work of the Father!
