“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Ephesians 2: 22
In whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Our soul, the bride, the church should manifest as the church of God.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that our soul, the bride, the church should always manifest as the holy place of Christ.
Next what we are meditating upon is that in 1 Chronicles 28: 11 - 19 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;
and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things;
also for the division of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord.
He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service;
the weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand.
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each table, and silver for the tables of silver;
also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls—he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl;
and refined gold by weight for the altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
“All this,” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans.”
In the above-mentioned verses, David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things; also for the division of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord. He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service; the weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand. And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each table, and silver for the tables of silver; also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls—he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl; and refined gold by weight for the altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord. “All this,” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans.”
My dear people, David told his son Solomon and commanded him to do everything in the treasuries of the temple of God according to the plan and what he said is that: God showed the likeness of his only begotten Son Christ to manifest within us as the church and his appearances how glorious it will in the Spirit and to manifest this how eternal life will be glorious within us and keeping this in mind as vestibule and treasuries, houses, inner chambers and places of mercy seat, tables where the showbread were kept, silver lampstands and the word of the Lord and the glory that comes from it all these the Lord is showing as a pattern and the above-mentioned verses are written. God by his Spirit only is telling all these things regarding where David should build the church and he is showing this as a pattern. Therefore my dear people, our church is Christ. This temple when it is glorified within us, we manifest as the temple of God. Therefore, our soul the holy place only the temple Christ will be glorified. Therefore, we should submit ourselves to be manifested as that temple.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
