“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

John 14: 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

Establishing the dwelling place

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we read and meditated upon in the past day, we meditated the fact regarding why our life is being submitted to wanderings and plunder. But for us to escape from that, our whole heart should be filled with the words of God and we should obey them and if we will walk united with God, then God will protect us without submitting us to wanderings and plunder.

My dear people, we see that God has been using Moses and Aaron to lead the people of Israel. Then to lead the people in a good path, he took Moses up to Mount Sinai and gave him the glory of God and we see that he is sending him to the people. That is, God gives Lord Jesus the glory and that glory God gives us and unites us with God and enables us to escape from all wanderings and all plunder and in this regard there is no change.

That is why, Jesus Christ is saying in John 17: 17 – 22 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 

And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

For us to be sanctified by the holy words which is the truth, only if we submit ourselves completely to Christ, we can attain the glory of God. For this God, in Mount Sinai filled Moses with glory and showed us as a pattern.

Only if we are sanctified, God will accept the sacrifice that we are giving him. That is why, we see that Jesus Christ is asking in Matthew 23: 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

But my dear people, our Christ is our altar, on that altar we must submit ourselves completely as an offering. When we submit in that manner and become holy, our heart becomes his altar. Therefore, from within our heart only we are offering God praise offerings, which is the glory. After that only, from the blessings that God gives us God will accept the first fruits, tithes and everything within us.

My dear people, in the Old Testament, first fruits was the tithes, but because God has given Christ completely, apostles brought everything that belonged to them and kept them at the Apostles feet and they experienced everything in common. There was nothing less for anyone.

My dear people, each one of us must know what sanctification is. The fruit that we receive from God is Sanctification. If that is so, then the end will be eternal life.

That is what, in Exodus 25: 1 – 8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 

“Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. 

And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 

blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; 

ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 

oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 

onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 

And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

The fact that God is telling Moses that the sanctuary that God dwells in should be in this manner is that the sanctuary that he dwells in should have such kind of appearances. This appearance is our Lord Jesus Christ’s grace. All the words of God written now show his glory. This is the sanctuary. If our soul is seen in this manner, God will come and dwell in the midst of us. This is what God is showing as a pattern regarding the dwelling place to Moses. This sanctuary should be built by the word of God. This is his law, commandment, statues everything is this sanctuary.

Within this Exodus 25: 9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

My dear people, our sanctuary is Christ. Therefore, in our lives we should analyze and know regarding how holy we must live and obey the word of God, which is the truth and become holy. His word of God, truth will sanctify us. Let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
