The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
Set up a Tabernacle: Sunday New Year 2017
Reading:Exodus 40:1-5
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
1. Introduction
God desires that we prepare our hearts mind and soul for the coming year for the
Lord.
2. Set up a Tabernacle
• A Tabernacle is a meeting place with the Lord. The Lord wants you to create
space in your heart for him 2017. The preparation is not the kind that uses
experience and intelligence to avoid calamity in the coming year. That is human.
3. Cover it!
• Call this year the year of dependence. On the Lord on his word (because it's
true). and on his faithfulness. As we soak ourselves in the fellowship with the
Lord. We are assured of his glory rubbing off on us. Why? Our belief is that the
Lord knows something better than we do
• Keep your relationship with the lord sacred. Cover it! Don't let any one
reduce its importance to you! Why do we love our parents? Because our fellowship
with them have benefited us. Love your father also.
4. Create a new relationship with the Lord
Among all this is that this year we must understand that the lord requires our
dedication. We need a change of attitude and an understanding of the Lord in a
new way. Romans 12:2
5. Set your heart in order
• Many are the things that fill our hearts but. The Lord wants us to set our
hearts in order. Prayer Devotion and love.
• He who has the heart has the man. Who has your heart? The world or the Lord?
Throw away all rubbish. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-6.
• 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 Paul was encouraging them how to live. Don't just
continue as before prepare yourself for the year.
6. Bring in the Word
• Whatever you do this year understand a portion of scripture for yourself
everyday or every week.
• That is your candle sick and light. Philippians 2:15 shine in 2017.
Key Morale
Prayer: Set up your altar. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you cover it (sacred).
Make your heart worthy of the Lord, light up to Spirit with the word. Amen.
