Raise as a Contribution So I Can Dwell Among Them:

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

-G.K. Chesterton

“Your happiest while you’re making the greatest contribution.”

-Robert F. Kennedy

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 NRSV

 

A worship service in ancient Israel

In Exodus 24, God confirmed his covenant with Israel in a public worship service. This ancient worship service is similar to what we experience. It’s a call to worship, a confession of faith, a reading from God’s Word, and a celebration of communion.  It was all done in the glorious presence of the Lord on the basis of a blood covenant. Even by this day’s standard, it was a complete worship service.

The only thing the assembly did not do was take it upon offer. However, this is to be rectified in chapter 25. Moses went up the mountain again, as he waited for six days for God’s next instruction on what to do next. On the seventh day, the prophet was allowed to enter the glory of God.

The first thing God said was to take up an offering for the tabernacle. They were to set up a Holy Sanctuary so that God may dwell with His people.

Just like when we have a building project for our church, and we take up a special offering for it, the Lord commanded Israelites to take up an offering specifically to build him a sanctuary. The people were to fund the building of a sanctuary so that He can dwell among us.

Giving and Commitment

Giving to God is a significant sign of our commitment to Christ. Our willingness to give back some of what we own is a strong indicator of spiritual health. A Christian who is not giving is probably not growing. Stewardship helps a Christian grows. When a Christian is giving to the Lord, then he is exhibiting stewardship. A lot of Christians are embarrassed or timid to talk about money. They view their finances to be a private matter, and it’s none of the church’s business.

A person who wants to hear the Word would hear a sermon on giving because finances is an important biblical theme. More than 400 Bible passages talk specifically about money, and a lot more than covers principles for Christian stewardship. Exodus 25 is one of those passages. The instructions God gave a talk about the Christian’s duty to give our best to God — from each of our hearts — for his holy work.

THE SET YOUR SCENE WELL

To the prophetic wisdom, A POME prophetess used to look at the pictures of beautiful houses in real estate magazines. While she looked at them, she would use her imagination to see herself in any one of them, and she soon began to feel “I AM these houses.” Suddenly, an apartment didn’t fit her anymore. Her bank account did not show that she was ready to move into a larger home with higher payments, but the feeling overtook her, and she moved anyway. That is what’s called praying through. She prayed through. The house was already hers.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Divine intuition is clothing you for the coming season.

Some of you are ready right now to give away the clothes in your closet. You need a new wardrobe to dress for where you’re going, not where you’ve already been.

The universe is trying to give you an upgrade to match what you’re feeling, and you’re insisting on staying still.

Some of you are driving a car that keeps breaking down, but only because you haven’t yet gotten the message: the reason your car keeps breaking down is that you’re not driving your consciousness. When you don’t drive your consciousness, the car you are driving acts up. If you don’t keep pace with your feeling, you’ll still be sitting in the thing you’re not feeling when the universe snatches it up.

It’s not faith when you see every piece of the picture present before you move.
