The Four Corners of the Tabernacle

UV 1008/10,000 The Four Corners of the House And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. Genesis 32 v 2 The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings and it holds the beginning of all His promises and blessings for His people, for the house of Jacob, for all who trust Him and believe His promises. Jacob was terrified at the prospect of meeting his estranged brother Esau who had with him a large band of 400 able-bodied men. But God sent a band of His angels to encourage him and he called that place, Mahanaim or camp of angels. When we please God, He surrounds us with His army of angels or His host and our house will be literally the great camp of angels or Mahanaim. The house of Jacob has four corners that we should maintain. Last evening in a time of prayer at the Tabernacle, the Lord revealed this amazing message and He even exhorted me to share it on uni-verse that hundreds of people read and be similarly blessed and encouraged. Once we make Jesus the cornerstone and the keystone of our lives, our house or our home will be having four corners: The first corner is an excellent and growing faith. Faith is seeing the things that cannot be seen with such clarity and certainty that the things that can be seen either fade into insignificance or acquire a new significance in its light. The second corner is an excellent hope. Our hope is in the Lord and His presence and not in the visible or material or monetary dimension of life. The third corner of our house is that we are wrapped with the Word of God. We are poring over it all the time, meditating and claiming it all the time as it is the very life-giving breath of God. Heaven and earth will pass away but His Word is eternal and remain forever. The fourth corner of our house is being covered in the redeeming and protecting shed blood of Jesus. When these are the four corners of our home, the Lord’s Shekinah glory will dwell with us. “Shekinah” is the Hebrew word that means the indwelling or inhabiting manifesting presence of God. When He inhabits us, who can inhibit us? Last week a drunken man, apparently with a knife, banged violently on the door of our daughter’s house and even broke the lock of the front door, terrifying her roommate who was inside the house. For some unknown reason, the man left after some time. The Lord had kept our daughter away from the house during the time at church and later at a dinner outing. The four corners of Mahanaim, the camp of the army of the Lord had preserved her from even being present and saved her companion from harm. Prateep V Philip
