This is sweet to our soul..making a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. What a joy to serve our Lord. Let us be His constant delight, be a follower of Christ, bear the cross, deny yourself.
May I call to remembrance of King David. He says, "Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob." ( Psalm 132:3-5)
How fervent is your heart for the house of God? King David said "in his trouble" he has prepared the materials for the house of Lord. 1 Chron 22:14.
Brethren, redeem the time for the house of Lord. It has only been a little over a month since we expanded to North Point Pier, and we have officially started our 7-9am morning sacrifice for over 3 weeks, and this week we have started our ministry program to train brothers and sisters from different churches to serve at the altar. Some of the brothers and sisters were called by God to be equipped for the work of God , and what we need to do is to respond to God's calling and build up the house of prayer that God has entrusted to us.
How blessed we are to enter the North Point Pier, and even more so to be chosen by God to build an altar with this unrivalled beautiful sea view. This is a strategic site in spiritual realm. Therefore, we should not take lightly the spiritual position that God has given us - to build an altar, to build up a house of prayer, and to lead a revival. With prudence in Christ, absolute surrender unto the Lord , reverential fear and zeal for the Lord shall we accomplish this .
When David built the temple for God, he did this in much difficulties to provide for God, with gold, silver, brass, and iron in abundance, and many craftsmen, masons, carpenters, and skillful craftsmen of all kinds (I Chron. 22:14).
We can see that the resources and money needed to build the temple of God is indispensable, and with selfless faith like King David in our dedication to God. We shall seek the Lord with all our heart.
We shall give thanks to God unceasingly for His everlasting protection just as David did. In the process of building Solomon's temple, in addition to money and resources, all workers of God must commit themselves to building the temple. Offer your body as a living sacrifice, brethren.
There are a variety of ministries involved in this sacrifice , such as watching the gate, repairing and building, managing supplies, praying and worshiping, etc.
Let those who keep watch, watch there unto with all peserverance. We need faithful ministers.
May the glory of God fill our temple and transform our city. That is our desire in our heart.
May the Lord sanctify, and cleanse ourselves, with the washing of water by His Word..May He cleanse His house, the body of Christ.
That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
May we also respond to God's invitation to build the temple of God with one heart and one mind.
Arise and work, and may the LORD be with you. (1 Chronicles 22:16)
