Greetings to you in the name of the most Holy King, Jesus Christ. I am so glad to write to great ministers God. In my last post I've written about 'The Temple'. And here I am now writing the second part of this series 'Who are we?' Few days back the Spirit of the Lord dragged me into the Scriptures, and it was Exodus and I was really excited when I came to know that we are THE TABERNACLE.
The Tabernacle is also called as the Tent of Meeting, because this was the place where the Lord God Almighty would meet with Moses whenever He wanted to. This was the place where the people of Israel would run to whenever they needed some counsel; this was the place where the Lord's presence was so intense.
The Holy Spirit put a strong feeling in me that I am The Tabernacle.
If you feel that you are one too, say AMEN....
Exodus 40:34-38 [34 Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. 35 Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
36 Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. 37 But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted. 38ord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.]
Characteristics of a Tabernacle:
When the Lord commanded Moses to build a Tabernacle He gave him the full fledged sketch of it, so that it would be built perfectly. In the same way the Lord is expecting 100% perfection from you and me. He expects us to be His Tabernacle so that He will demonstrate His Might through us to guide His people.
The Lord wanted Moses to keep everything within the Tabernacle pure, small or big, animal or people, ornaments or utensils, all He wanted was purity. Even today the Lord wants us to be pure in every part of our lives purity in actions, words, thoughts and deeds.
2) Ark of the Covenant:
The Ark of the Covenant was placed in the most holy place of the Tabernacle. The tablets of stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed were kept inside the Ark of the Covenant with the rod of Aaron and the heavenly Manna. Likewise you and I should have the Word in our hearts, the authority of the Word and should be a follower of the Word. Manna is a heavenly food which gives life. Following the Word will let the Spirit live.
3) His Presence and His glory:
The Israelites would set out on their journey when the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle and remain camped if the cloud did not rise. This clearly explains the fact that the Lord dictated over the people of Israel from the Tabernacle, every single move of the Israelites was controlled by the Lord as per His wish. In our lives too, we should let the Lord dictate over us, if you are a leader of a church let the Lord dictate your church, if you are a leader of a fellowship, let the Lord dictate your fellowship wherein no one would be able to question the management because the Lord reigns.
4) Not the Tabernacle:
Even though the Tabernacle was considered as the holiest place, it was not because of the ornaments used for decorating or the furnishings used which made it holy but it was only because of the mere presence of the Lord which made the difference.
5) Burn Out:
The most important thing which the Lord requires is that the fire in the altar should never be put off. You and I who allow the Lord to reside within us should never cease worshiping the Lord with the sweet incense called praise, so that the Lord will continue to reside within us and will be our guide. Let God be the master over your life, allow Him even to the darker areas of life wherein you can allow no one.
Even as you have read this article, let the Lord dictate over your lives.
When people come to you seeking counsel, prayer, deliverance or anything for that matter, and if miracles happen, remember that it is not because of our abilities or our strength but by His Spirit.
Let us be the carriers of the Word and His glory.
'Cos You and I are HIS TABERNACLE'
God Bless You
