Deuteronomy 12:5-7,
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: 6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee
✍🏻 In the Old testament, the children of Israel 🇮🇱, were commanded to worship the Lord at the place He placed His name. Sacrifices were done only at the place the Lord chose for them to worship 🛐.
✍🏻 In the New testament,
Luke 4:8 (NHEB) Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'”
“You shall worship the Lord your God and shall serve Him only”
🤷♂️Where shall we Worship the Lord?
Exactly, at where God placed His name.
🤷♂️Where does God place His name?
👉🏿At the closing hour of Jesus’ physical presence on earth, He lifted up His eyes 👀 to heaven and prayed to declare the name of God to His disciples. That Name is Jesus.
God placed His name on His Son, Jesus Christ, yes that’s the chosen place of worship 🛐.
Now, Jesus Christ was the Word of God expressed to human on this earth.
✍🏻John 1:1-4 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
✍🏻 Apostle Peter testified that Jesus Christ has the Words of Eternal life.
John 6:68 (KJV) Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the Words of eternal life.
✍🏻 Bible believers really need to hold on to the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. Phil 2:16
🙏🏻When we worship 🛐 God in His chosen place of the Word, through our sacrifices of praises and thanks, offerings, etc., we will have the spirit of Life and eternal life will be our portion or dominion.
👉🏿Worshipping God in the Word means we must believe God and take Him at His Word.
👨🦯William Branham, a prophet of God, once said,
We must believe God. We must take Him at His word. We must not try to figure things out, but just whatever God says, the real true spirit of God will punctuate every Word of God with an “Amen”.
