Words are very powerful because there is meaning and powerful.
God is preparing us for greater things.
How do we live? We are going to live beyond the cross.
Temple is a place of worship which King David has in his heart for the Lord.
God prepares King David for his kingship.
HAGGAI 2:8 NKJV
‘The SILVER is MINE, and the GOLD is MINE, ’ SAYS the LORD of hosts.
It represents the riches of the world.
What God had given us, we give back to Him.
He wants to open Heaven to bless us.
The peace that Jesus gives is SHALOM.
David's preparation for building the temple.
God called David a man after God's heart.
He wants to build a house for the Lord.
Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the HOUSE to be built for the LORD
MUST be EXCEEDINGLY MAGNIFICENT, FAMOUS and GLORIOUS throughout all countries.
I will now make preparation for it.”
So David made ABUNDANT preparations before his death.
This money seems to have been the fruit of the spoils of the wars in which David had been engaged.
This enormous sum was at once laid out for the Lord's house.
Thus all the accumulation of David's life is here consecrated to God.)
Whatever David receives, he kept it and build the house for the Lord.
Testify and giving to Jesus.
When we tithe, it is a testimony that Jesus is alive.
God is unlimited.
A prosperous man is a man who has the Lord with him.
To be a prosperous men and women we need to have the righteous one which is Jesus.
We have Jesus as our shepherd and He has all authority.
We go into the protection of God.
God will rebuke the devourer over our tithing.
1 CHRONICLES 29:3-5 NKJV
Moreover, because I have SET my AFFECTION on the HOUSE of MY GOD,
I have GIVEN to the HOUSE of MY GOD,
OVER and ABOVE ALL that I HAVE prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver: three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;
David set his affection on the House of his God.
House is a place for God to dwell and for His glory to come on.
God will provide because we represent the Almighty God.
God is everywhere.
He is omnipresence. He is omnipotent.
We praise someone loudly and clearly.
Joy is to be expressed out.
God makes us happy and never wanted us to be sad.
We worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
When we come into the presence of God, we want glory to fill us.
We want the glory and presence of God.
Our consciousness is about Jesus and His presence.
Go into the world and preach the gospel.
God had to put in a new seed in our lives.
Favour of God is upon us.
When we grow in favour with God, we automatically favour with men.
There will be persecution when we preach the gospel but favour will be added unto us.
Power can be seen and demonstrated when we act on the Word of God.
JOSEPH - underwent Training > PREPARATION to be Prime Minister to save God's people from famine
DAVID - underwent Training > PREPARATION to be King to rule the Jewish nation with the presence of God.
They have a purpose in this life but they had to go through training.
The training was for them to develop and understand their calling.
We need to know the promises of God.
Devil is under our feet.
God cannot use a person who is still locked under the five senses.
HEBREWS 11:13 TPT
These heroes all died still clinging to their FAITH, not even receiving all that had been promised them.
But they SAW BEYOND the HORIZON the FULFILMENT of their PROMISES and GLADLY EMBRACED it from AFAR.
They all LIVED their lives on EARTH as those who BELONGED to ANOTHER REALM.
We belong to another realm.
The heavenly realm.
We are born from above.
May all our hearts be fixed.
Greater glory and rewards in the Heavenly realm.
The purpose of our lives is to serve Him.
God is not ashamed to identify Himself as our God.
HEBREWS 11:1-2 AMP
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].
For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval.
Our life today is the fight of faith.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God.
WITH GOD YOUR FUTURE WILL BE GREATER THAN YOUR PAST
