The altar of God Sunday, July 01, 2018
Altar: A place of prayer, a place to seek the face of God
Reading: Genesis 8:20
1. The Majesty of God
Altar creation sin spread in the world. Good desired to clear the Earth. Good
discussed with Moses. God will not do anything without telling His servants. All
families new one whom good can speak by
After the flood when Noah saw the Majesty of God when he realized what God can
do he built an altar.
2. How many Altars are available?
Two side to most things light darkness etc. The altar of God and that of Satan
Faith: Noah believed and gave himself to God. Abraham Genesis 12:7 here he built
an altar
3. Worship represents a form of altar
Be careful the worship is the right one. Genesis 13:3-4 Bethel
• Altar as Commitment
As Commitment to God and point of reference
• Altar as remembrance or reference
A place of remembrance Genesis 12:7 where God made the promise
• Your Altar
Every family must have an Altar
This established one Altar. Man cannot serve two Masters. This will establish a
known altar that of God
• Jesus as altar
Old times Altar was a great of stone. Now Jesus replaced the Altar in the New
Testament.
4. If one has no Altar
One looses in many ways. You are bereft of faith. E.g. Some Drivers and
Talisman. Before one engaged the world go to your Altar. In times of trouble
almost everyone calls on Jesus. You cannot call on an Altar you have not built
5. What Sacrifice?
Time: Give quality time to God. Jesus is your Altar in your heart. You can
always get there at any time. Without an altar you have no protection. There is
no empty space if you don't build an altar the enemy will build one for you
I don’t play with my money, my work. What are they to you?
6. Worship
How Many times do we worship. If one has an altar at home it helps you to
worship at all times. Worship is not only at the church. Don’t wait until you
come to church, you can worship in the car, at work in fact anywhere. It is a
lifestyle.
* A place of worship
Abraham only requirement was to obey God. Good Will do his part.
We worship God in the heart. Every morning what is required of me? Commit to
God. This does not happen because you know about God but because you have an
altar of God.
Do not have a substitute for you altar. E.g. TV. Abraham and Jesus were
faithful.
7. Elijahs Altar 1 Kings 18:30-38
Elijah prepared the altar of God. Don't let your altar be broken. A serious time
will require serious actions. Elijah Built the altar of God.
An altar must be identified for God named and purposed for God, So that no other
power can compete with your purpose.
There must be a sacrifice on the altar. Our sacrifice has been provided by the
Lord in the person of Jesus. Good Himself provided the sacrifice.
Have an altar and engage with God before doing anything in the world.
Morale
As Christians we should have focus on God wherever you are is a place of fellowship with God.
