BUILD THE ALTAR

BUILD THE ALTAR

SCRIPTURE: 1 KINGS 18:32-40
DEVOTIONAL: “And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, "Fill four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood." (Vs. 33).

    Anyone who wants to relate with God for effective prayer must build an altar of prayer. This altar is built in the heart. In the Old Testament, it was usually built in particular places where God’s presence dwelt and was called the temple of God. However, in the New Testament, the Bible says that we are the temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16). If we are the temple of God, then the altar is in our hearts.

As a man of God, Elijah used to prepare the altar of God before praying, by arranging stones, putting wood and the meat of sacrifice with water. That was why before he finished calling on God, fire came down. To build the altar of God in our hearts, we must put those necessary materials together. The wood represents the word of God (Prov. 26:20), the stone represents Jesus who is the word Himself (John 1:14), the water represents the word of God and the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-38, Isa. 55:10-11).

It is important to always gather the covenant word of God to pray with before praying. This is the reason the Bible tells us to let the word dwell in us richly (Colossians 3:16). When the word of God dwells in you, you will have the right covenant words to remind God when you pray. Then your prayers will always be answered in Jesus’ name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for the word of God.

“WHERE THE WORD IS, THE FIRE WILL NOT GO DOWN”.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

ACKNOWLEDGING HIM

ACKNOWLEDGING HIM Scripture Reading Proverbs 3:1-10 Devotional:- “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” (V. 6). NKJV      Living by inspiration always makes you and God to be partners in doing all your things together (1 Corinthians 3:9). That makes you a wonder wherever you are and in whatever you are doing. But, there are processes to getting inspired by the Holy Spirit. One of the factors is that, you must regularly acknowledge God. This is because God will not force Himself on you (Genesis 6:3).
