THEME: HOW STRONG IS YOUR ALTAR?
2 Chronicles 7:1-8
All spiritual transaction are carried out from altar to altar. When you worship or pray, the incense from the personal altar in your heart rises to the altar at the throne of God in heaven, triggering off a traffic of angels that attend to your requests and supplications. You also make contact with God from family altars, territorial and congregational altars, all of which are established on physical locations on earth.
Revelation 5:10 tells us that we have been made priests and kings unto our God and we shall reign on the earth. A priest is as strong as the altar backing him. The altar is as strong as the sacrifice upon it.
It is easy to recall that God once appeared to Solomon and told him to request whatever he wanted God to do for him. But many do not remember as easily what Solomon did before God appeared to him.“And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask! What shall I give you” (2 Chronicles 1:6-7).
When you want to attract the quick attention of heaven, your sacrifice on the altar can help. When you desire prompt intervention of God in a difficult situation, your sacrifice upon the altar can help. When you are faced with danger and there seems to be no way of escape, drop a sacrifice on the altar. To show appreciation for God’s abiding goodness and favour, your sacrifice upon the altar will help. Note that your sacrifice upon the altar is not there to bribe God or twist His arms. Intimate personal relationship with Him counts most.
PRAYER: Ask God who gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater to provide you a good sacrifice.
CONFESSION: I resolve to make my altar the strongest it can be through intense worship, prayer and sacrifice.
