历代志上 第十六章|Book of 1 Chronicles 16【经营祭坛全民蒙福】

一、约柜前献祭—祝福人人（V1-3）
约柜被众人请进去：大家都已经预备了许久，如今同心邀请神，这是神所喜悦的不是吗？
约柜安放在大卫的帐幕里：会幕或帐幕本来就是神所指示“居所”，而大卫就是捉住了神的心，知道要为神预备“安放约柜”的地方。因为神乐于在某个特定地点显明祂的同在与祝福，正如在俄别以东家里的日子那样。
再来大卫的献祭也在表明人的认罪和感恩，这么一来就恢复了与神的美好关系。跟着就会成为蒙福的器皿，以致可以把祝福分赐给在自己之下的众人。
二、约柜前赞美—乐器吹号（V4-6）
约柜代表神的同在，来到神面前就要敬拜赞美、以乐器以号角吹出大声而敬拜。敬拜会带下神的荣耀，人的生命就会经历神的作为。正如大卫经历过弹琴敬拜的时候，可以把扫罗王身上的邪灵给赶走。很显然敬拜时要带下神的国降临，神掌权、神迹奇事难免发生。
三、以诗歌敬拜—经历神能（V7-11）
【敬拜与祷告】是母堂GA611的主要争战武器，敬拜中与神相遇，同时也来到神面前祷告，做成神国降临掌权的工作。V11说到寻求神的面，也是寻求神的能力。这是神的儿女经历信心能力的两种重要管道，既是最基本也是最需要的属灵生活。
四、记念神的约—神有判断（V12-17）
神与人有约，神又是守约施慈爱的神。这里两次说到“判语、判断”，意思说神是按照祂与我们的约而判定我们的祝福之神。守住神的约，经历神的应许。
五、约中的应许—神作保障（V18-22）
在一个“弱肉强食”的社会里，即使已经是文明开化的现代社会，仍然难免被欺压抢夺的事。尤其在属灵上有随时要吞吃基督徒的恶者，我们若不是留心依靠耶和华，我们岂能不被吞吃呢？
六、救恩之应许—荣耀归神（V23-29）
诉说神的作为，见证神的名，既是常常荣耀神。我们要如何才是这样的人呢？以其口说，不如身体力行，让有机会接触我们的人看到我们就是祂的见证。
七、全地要歌颂—神必要作王（V30-36）
将来的世界由神作王掌权，全地都要称颂神的名。这不也是指着基督将来要成为万王之王，我们属主的人也要与祂一同作王。因此，我们如今要怎么认定自己的身份，并要预先演练啊！
总结：约柜前服事—早晚献祭（V37-43）
我们如今活在有晨祷，也有晚祷的GK611，这是操练早晚献祭的机会。
蒙福的俄别以东作守门的，最后大卫和家眷、以色列民都要蒙福啊！
1 Chronicles 16: Manage the Altar and All the People Will Be Blessed
GK611 Morning Devotion
05/07/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan
1. To offer sacrifices in front of the ark of the covenant—blessing everyone (V1-3)
The Ark of the Covenant was invited in by everyone: everyone had been preparing for a long time, and now they are united in inviting God. This is something that pleases God, isn’t it?
The ark of the covenant was placed in David’s tent: The synagogue or tabernacle was originally the “dwelling place” instructed by God, and David caught God’s heart and knew that he would prepare a place for God to “place the ark of the covenant.”As God delights in manifesting His presence and blessing in a particular place, as He did in the house of Obed-Edom.
Secondly, David's sacrifice also showed people's confession and gratitude, which restored a beautiful relationship with God. Then he will become a blessed vessel, so that he can impart blessings to all those under him.
2. To praise before the ark of the covenant - musical instruments and trumpets (V4-6)
The ark of the covenant represents the presence of God. When you come before God, you must worship and praise, and use musical instruments and trumpets to blow loudly in worship. Worship will bring out the glory of God, and people’s lives will experience God’s works. Just as David experienced playing the harp to worship, he was able to drive away the evil spirits from King Saul. Obviously, when we worship, we must bring down the kingdom of God. God is in control, and signs and wonders will inevitably happen.
3. To worship with songs—experience His power (V7-11)
[Worship and prayer] are the main weapons of war of the mother church GA611. In worship, we meet God, and at the same time we come before God to pray and complete the work of the coming and reigning of God’s kingdom. V11 talks about seeking God’s face, but also seeking God’s power. These are two important channels for God’s children to experience the power of faith. They are both the most basic and most necessary spiritual life.
4. Remember God’s covenant—God has judgment (V12-17)
God has a covenant with man, and God is a God who keeps covenants and shows mercy. “Judgment” is mentioned twice here, which means that God is the God who judges our blessings according to His covenant with us. Keep God’s covenant and experience God’s promises.
5. The promises in the covenant—God is the guarantee (V18-22)
In a society where "the weak being eaten by the strong", even if it is a civilized modern society, it is still inevitable to be bullied and robbed. Especially spiritually, there are evil ones who want to devour Christians at any time. If we do not carefully rely on Jehovah, how can we not be devoured?
6. The promise of salvation—glory to God (V23-29)
Telling God’s works and bearing witness to God’s name always glorifies God. How do we become such people? It is better to practise what we do than to speak with our mouths, so that those who have the opportunity to come into contact with us can see that we are His witnesses.
7. The whole earth will sing praises—God will reign (V30-36)
In the future world, God will be king and rule, and the whole earth will praise God’s name. Doesn’t this also mean that Christ will become the King of kings in the future, and we who belong to the Lord will also reign with Him. Therefore, how do we identify our identity and practise it in advance!
Conclusion: Service before the ark of the covenant—morning and evening Sacrifice (V37-43)
We now live in GK611 where there are Morning Devotion and evening prayers. This is an opportunity to practise morning and evening sacrifices.
Blessed Obed-Edom serves as the gatekeeper, and in the end David, his family, and the people of Israel will all be blessed!
