Church Construction is to First Receive the Answers(1 Samuel 16:13)
So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.
Hymn #428 There’s Sunshine in My Soul Toda(Unified Hymn 488)
David was the first person to enjoy the blessing of building the temple. God first gives answers to the one who holds onto the covenant of temple construction. Both world evangelization and temple construction are completed by God. What matters is how you participate and pray in this work. When God gave David his mission, he was deeply moved by the Spirit of the Lord. The Spirit of the Triune God came upon David with the power of the Throne and enabled him to overcome everything. At that time, even suffering became answers. God also gave WIOS and OURS, along with the Bartizans, Journeys, and Guideposts. Moreover, He entrusted him with the mission of the Word, the mission of the age, and his personal mission of temple construction. After David was moved by the Spirit of the Lord, certain things took place.
1. The Stream ofthe Temple’s Blessings
God revealed the stream of the temple’s blessings. This stream began with the Three Feasts. At the time of the Exodus, a movement centered on the tabernacle arose. Inside the tabernacle was the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the stone tablets, the jar of manna, and Aaron’s staff.The Arkwas placed in the Most Holy Place. On the day Jesus was crucified, the curtain between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place was torn. This signified that the covenant to enter the Most Holy Place(The name of Christ), had been given.
2. The Time to Experience Power
On the day you hold onto the accurate mission and make a resolution, God allows you to experience His power first. He plants in the posterity the future He gave to David(Psalm 78:70~72). From the day David was anointed, power began to come upon him(1 Samuel 16:1~13). When David praised, evil spirits fled(1 Samuel 16:23), and he easily defeated Goliath(1 Samuel 17:1~47 ). Hardship approached, yet he was able to overcome it(Psalm 23:1~6).
3. The Start of Lifelong Answers
From this moment on, lifelong answers began. After David established the City of David(2 Samuel 5:7), he brought the Ark of the Covenant into it(2 Samuel 6:1~23). He raised 1,000 bartizans and prepared to make a temple that had the three courtyards(1 Chronicles 29:10~14).
You must hold onto the covenant God works through the power of creation(Genesis 1:3). Like David, you must make a lifelong resolution(1 Samuel 16:1~13), offer lifelong offerings(1 Chronicles 29:10~14), and prepare throughout your lifetime for the posterity(Lifelong prayer).
