BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD
(Sermon Note - Planery Session 1- 72hours 2025)
God establish a Tabernacle that men could view when Jesus came and walk on earth. He's full of grace and truth
A man that will be dwelling place for God is a man full of grace and truth.
Truth means principles of kingdom and it's reality.
The way to become is not by work but by beholding (Ephesians 2:8-10)
We mask Jesus on pulpit
Jesus should be revealed on the pulpit.
The secret of obedience is to see Christ the obedient. The burden is to see the Lord again. What you will become will be to the degree that you have seen .
AWAKENING - is God wanting to be visible beyond His house . He does that by three things that must be in place
His presence
The Place
The Reality
We are the tools for DISCERNING the presence
The invitation is to behold THE PLACE , IF YOU see the place , you will become the place .
Genesis 2:7-8 There he put the man who he had formed .
Man assignment in the garden was to work.
Work was not man foundational work but it was BEHOLDING.
Genesis 2:8
Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
The LORD God is preincarnate of Christ .
The LORD God Formed man from ground .
Ground, Eden and Garden .
Man is Spirit ,soul and Body
Ground is Spirit
Eden is Soul
Garden is Body
Geographical area God come into Eden
A foreshadowing of how the garden function so He can function that way.
The garden was built for PRESENCE .
Eden first dwelling place on earth.
God used a garden to model what man will look like . When man fell, he was cut off from the education.
God wants to dwell among us
God told Moses to build Tabernacle
THREE DIMENSION OF TABERNACLE
1.God who Tabernacle Among us (John 1:14)
2. God who Tabernacle OVER us
3. God who Tabernacle WITH us
God told Moses , Let them Make me
What God will occupy, you will need to capture the entity. People have created things not God in mind.
Let them make a Sanctuary for ME
Key word is ME
IT IS NOT A SANCTUARY FOR VISITATION
BUT FOR DWELLING.
When the temple was rebuilt after exile
Young men were happy
Elders were weeping
They knew how the former looked .
Did glory come when the temple was built? No
The earth will be filled with glory of God
Reality of God are four dimensional
When people look at you, they should be able to say Behold the glory of God .
2 Corinthians 6:16 - A temple can agree with Idols. Ye are the temple of the living God .
I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God and they shall be my people .
The intention of God for a dwelling
Adam was design as a Host .
He was put in host(Eden) to learn the way of hosting.
It's not enough that he dwells within us but must be able to walk in us .
To walk in us means priestly walk to claim territory. God told Joshua , everywhere the sole of your foot have tread is yours .
Not just where God lives but where God exercise His Authority.
God dwells in you but He may not be walking in you. He walk in you to take dominion .
The way to make people look like Christ is to make them behold Jesus and him seen.
John 1:14
We behold His glory ...
The Cross is a bridge
From Christ the man
To Christ the body .
In John 14:1-2 in my father's house are many mansions . Talking about the body of Christ.
Jesus is the manifestation of the father
He told Philip , if you have seen me , you have seen the father ( John 14:4-8)
Exodus 25:8 Let them Make me a sanctuary that I may DWELL AMONG them .
John 1:14 Jesus Tabernacle Among us .
Jesus revealed himself as
1.Light of the world - Menorah
2.Bread of life - The show bread .
The Temple is upgrade of the Tabernacle.
2 Samuel 7
David wanted to build a Tabernacle
Not every man can build his temple
1 chronicles 28 :1-3
why David could not build
The battles that David fought , he won with help of God yet God disqualified him from building because of shedding the blood .
You may be doing good things but may not be God thing . These good things might disqualify for making you build .
Jesus rode on a donkey meaning peace
He didn't come with horse meaning war and by force .
David was king but not a type of the Christ.
His kingship prevailed by horse (force)
Not the type of Christ so He was disqualified.
The model is not just the building but the person . Christ is the model .
Tabernacle makes God visible
When you say you're God tabernacle, it means you're visual aid to make invisible God visible.
Now we are hearing stories of miracles
We talk about stories of Orimolade
Stories of Ayo BabaLola
What about our generation?
WHEN YOU LOOK AT MEN
YOU WILL BECOME MEN , LOOK AT GOD.
Sometimes men you look up to as elders in faith , they make some statements that will make you wonder how did they go from here to there ? Men will always be men , only God you can focus on. His standard never change .
Moses did not represent God to Israel when he got angry . God said you didn't sanctify me.
He didn't model God properly for Isreal.
Sometime we err because we can no longer see . PRAY for seeing eyes . We want to see you again .
Our labour must be beyond impartation but becoming a Tabernacle. To be conform to the same image . As you behold Jesus , the end point is to confirm to His image and as others behold you , they should behold the Tabernacle of God .
God is not building different Tabernacle but just one Tabernacle. We are all lively stones built together as one Tabernacle.
