THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: MONDAY, 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2022 

TOPIC: MAKE AN OFFERING AND SANCTUARY TO GOD FROM WILLING HEARTS

TEXT: EXODUS 25:1-9

1. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
2. "Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
3. "And this [is] the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
4. "blue, purple, and scarlet [thread,] fine linen, and goats' [hair;]
5.  "ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood;
6.  "oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
7.  "onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8.  "And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9.  "According to all that I show you, [that is,] the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make [it.]

MESSAGE: 
All the words of the Lord and all Whatever God commands must not be toyed with. Clearly stated, God demands offerings from us. The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for Me an offering…” (Exod. 24:1-2). The offerings included: Gold, silver, bronze, blue, purple, etc., to make a sanctuary unto God. Today, how much have you contributed to projects in your church? What offering have you made?
       
We must support God’s projects financially from our hearts without grumbling, for God loves a cheerful giver. “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Again, to hinder our loved ones from supporting God’s projects financially is wickedness; we should never engage in this. We must remember that by involving our money and possessions in things that have eternal value, we lay our treasure in heaven. What a big mistake for us to lay our treasure here on earth! We must never rob God (Mal. 3:8-9).

PRAYER: 
God, help me to give in support of Your works willingly in Jesus’ name. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh
