Exodus 25:1-8
God presses an emphasis when it comes to building His house! God will emphasize how exactly His house ought to be. The house of God is not built anyhow and if you build anyhow God will reject that house.
Gods eyes are on his House and whenever you violet the house of God you violet the sight of God.
The house of God is not to be used for stealing from the people of God or to trample on the children of God but the house of God is to be used as a worship place for the people of God.
Whenever you give to the work of God you must never be discouraged because there is a big blessing that comes with building God a house.
WHY MUST WE BUILD GOD A SANCTUARY?
1. So that God's presence of God can dwell with us.
A sanctuary raises a place where people can pray 24/7.
2. So that your relationship with Christ might move forward.
If we refuse to build God a sanctuary you will withhold the salvation of many people who are suppose to be born again.
3. So that you can place a place of prayer
People will come to seek miracles from God in the house of God! The house of God is going to be a house of restoration!
THE VIEW OF GOD ON HIS SANCTUARY
1. God is committed to His building
2. God is moved by what you have built
When you build God a house, God is going to respond! When you make God smile, God will make you smile forever!
The centurions servant who Jesus healed was not a Christian but he had built the temple of God and so Jesus responded to his call and by speaking a word God healed the servant to this centurion.
3. God attaches His glory to buildings
The Shekkinah glory of God only came down after Solomon had built God a temple.
HOW ARE WE TO BUILD A SANCTUARY?
1. With our resources
2. Sacrificially - Solomon built the house of God sacrificially and he saw the hand of God.
Fire will always come down were their is a sacrifice
3. On a land that God has chosen
THE BLESSING OF BUILDING GOD A HOUSE
1. The attention of Jehovah God will come to you
The Roman centurion attracted the attention of Jesus. If you are attracting God in your life you are attracting growth
2. You provoke the Visitation of God by force over your life!
Solomon provoked the visitation of God through the act of building God a Sanctuary and offering thousands of burnt offerings! If you want God to visit you, please God.
3. God will reward your life greatly
Psalm 126:5 those who sow in tears shall harvest in joy!
4. God will end all your battles
Proverbs 16:7. In his reign Solomon never fought any battles because God had silenced the enemies of Solomon through the sacrificial offering Solomon had made when building God a house
5. God will give you financial increase!
2 Chronicles 1:15
6. God will bless you with longevity of life!
7. God will restore your honor
Psalm 126
