DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Friday 14 August 2020

Text:
Ezra 3:1-3; Nehemiah 2:17-18

TOPIC:
WHY NOT REBUILD YOUR ALTAR❓

MEMORY VERSE:
Exodus 17:15

Message:
To rebuild the altar simply means to put the altar in order so that it can serve the purpose of worshipping God. It means that the altar is either damaged or corrupt and needs rebuilding. In other words, it means the temple is bad and so it requires starting a new one. There is need to reset the fire burning in your altar to allow the glory of God come down. In 1 Samuel 4:3-4, Israelites moved with the ark of God that signified His presence when they had battle with the Philistines. Today, altar is designed for God’s presence and it should be kept alive.

After the reign of King Saul, David and Solomon, the people of Israel were divided into two kingdoms, namely, the Northern and the Southern Kingdom because of their sins. The Northern kingdom comprised the ten tribes of Israel and the Southern kingdom comprised the two tribes of Israel. These kingdoms were taken into exile for seventy years. While in captivity, their freedom was restricted because they were foreigners. However, the permission and the decree of King Cyrus of Persia made the Israelites serve the foreign land and return to Jerusalem. Everything in Jerusalem was totally destroyed and burnt down.

But Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah were Jews and leaders who brought the Israelites out into Jerusalem to serve their God. What has pulled down your altar? Is it sin, lack of faith and confidence in God, doubt, anger, etc.? Arise, whatever it is, rebuild that altar, have a place of relating and communicating with your God. God is already waiting for you.

CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
Rebuild your individual or family altar in order to worship and praise the name of God.

PRAYER:
My God, let me not abandon my altar because of sins and corruption in Jesus’ name. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Psalms 84-86; 1Peter 2
