THEME: WHAT IS GOD'S TEMPLE? IV


MEMORISE: 

And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of

the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

2 Kings 22:8


READ: 2 Kings 22:8-11 

8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And

Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.


9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.


10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.


11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.


MESSAGE

God's temple is also the house of knowledge; it is a house of education. In Psalm 27:4, David made it clear:


One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.


In the house of the Lord, you can behold the beauty of the Almighty God. However, David went on to say that he not only wants to behold God's beauty, but he also wants to be there to enquire of Him. In other words, if you have any questions for God, bring them to His temple; come and ask Him in the temple.


When you come into His temple, you will receive revelations; He will begin to tell you certain things that you will not learn at home. This is why you must always go to Church with your writing materials. It is a place to go and learn new things and get new perspectives. There have been many times that I was confused about a matter, but while listening to the word of God, light will begin to shine on the matter, and I will receive revelations on how to resolve the situation. This is why the psalmist said:


Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 119:105


The house of God is a place where you go to hear the word of God, and in that word is great knowledge and wisdom that you cannot get anywhere else. So, whether you need revelation for business, family issues, ministry, health, or any other field of life, you will get it in the house of God. Those who regularly go to a Church where the undiluted word of God is taught don't stay confused for long.


You may however, then ask, "How do I know if the word being taught in my Church is genuine and undiluted?" You have to emulate the Berean Christians who always returned to their homes to search the Scriptures to verity what they had been taught in church (Acts 17:10-11).


As long as you remain in the environment where the undiluted and genuine word of God is preached, knowledge and wisdom will be available to you.


ACTION POINT

Always attend Church services with your writing materials, and be expectant to receive new knowledge and revelation from God.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 38-40


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORDS


1 Holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world,

They resound with God's own heart

Oh, let the Ancient words impart.


Chorus

Ancient words ever true

Changing me, and changing you. 

We have come with open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart.


2 Words of Life, words of Hope

Give us strength, help us cope

In this world, where e'er we roam

Ancient words will guide us Home.


3 Holy words of our Faith

Handed down to this age.

Came to us through sacrifice

Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.


4 Holy words long preserved

For our walk in this world.

They resound with God's own heart

Oh let the ancient words impart.

THEME: WHAT IS GOD'S TEMPLE? III


MEMORISE: 

And thither ye shall bring your burn t offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

Deuteronomy 12:6


READ: Deuteronomy 12:5-6  

5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:


6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:


MESSAGE

Beyond being the house of prayer and healing God's temple is also the house of sacrifice. Anyone who wants to or has to sacrifice anything has to take his sacrifice to a designated place. In Yoruba land, where I come from, when they want to sacrifice to the devil, they take the sacrifice to the crossroad, and when

they want to sacrifice to witches and wizards, they put it behind an Iroko tree. For us who give sacrifices to the Most High God, He said in 2 Chronicles 7:12 that He has chosen His temple as the place where He will accept our sacrifices. Furthermore, Deuteronomy 16:16 says that you should not come empty-handed when you are coming to the temple of God because He wants to accept your sacrifice.


A friend of mine used to say whenever he was taking offerings, "lf you have none, borrow from your neighbour so that when the basket is going round, God will see you putting something in." Then he would add, "It will not be long before you too will lend to others. God takes giving a sacrifice in His temple so seriously that He always observes what people drop in the offering basket. In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus watched the offerings that people gave and weighed which ones were sacrifices and which were not. This tells you clearly that God is keen on accepting sacrifices in His temple. 


Some people say that because they don't trust their pastor, they will rather give to the poor than give in church. First, I don't understand why they have a pastor they believe to be a thief. Secondly, it is good to give to the poor; Proverbs 19:17 says that when you give to the poor, you are indirectly giving to God. However, you must never neglect giving your sacrifices in the house of God itself. If somebody says he likes me and gives my

children money whenever he sees them by the roadside, but he refuses to give when he sees that there is a need in my family, despite knowing the way to my house and having money to give, I will begin to suspect sucn a fellow. It will be clear that he isn't giving to my children because he likes me but for other reasons. This might be because he just wants to be seen in public as a giver or that he wants to gain some undue influence over my

children. It's the same when you claim to give to the poor in the name of God but never give in the house of God itself.


KEY POINT

Make it a point of duty to never go to the house of God empty-handed. It is a place of sacrifice.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 35-37


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.
