ATTENTION!!! ⚠️🔥
If you do not have an ALTAR,
If you do not RAISE an ALTAR
another man's ALTAR will ALTER or CONTROL your life, family and destiny. Make no joke about this!
Mind you, I am not speaking of having a physical altar (this is not a bad idea too), rather I speak of a place where you meet with Elohim, a place of fellowship, intimacy, communion, koinonia, and brokenness.
Access to God has always been through an altar and the first altar you should raise is the altar of your HEART. Not the altar made of physical materials, but the altar of the heart (the intents and contents of the heart).
The heart is the altar and the altar is the heart.
BELOW 👇 ARE SOME PRACTICAL WAYS TO RAISE YOUR HEART AS AN ALTAR.
1. BROKENNESS:
Psalms 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
📌BROKENNESS is a mystery. It is like an aroma capable of calling/ drawing God's attention to you. You must get to the point where you allow yourself to be vulnerable before God..."shattering and scattering" yourself before the Great Potter, intentionally seeking to be rebuilt by Him.
2. REPAIR/REBUILD THE ALTAR (HEART)
📌What needs to be repaired?
A broken heart!
A hardened heart!
An unforgiving heart!
A critical heart!
An immoral heart...etc
So basically, you know what needs to be repaired in you. I don’t need to tell you.
You know the little little foxes 😎 that needed to be dealt with.
You know the idols in your heart that needs to be removed and burnt.
So go ahead: take away the vines, take away the weeds and cut away the thorns.
Intentional do away with whatsoever that is not of God, then replace them with those things that pleases God.
Finally for now biko, we have prayers by 11:45pm😊
3. REKINDLE THE FIRE.
📌God does not and will not send His fire on nothing. Before God’s fire can come down, the altar must be set.
There must be woods laid, and water poured on the altar. A case study is seen in 1 Ki
