Exodus 26:24 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
Praise the Lord!!!
Today we will meditate about importance of prayer partner. In old testament we find Lord would specifically tell Moses to couple the board together with one ring of gold. But before that you need to overlay the board with gold.
There is lot of spiritual meaning in building a tabernacle. Let's understand what is the significance of coupling the board.
Church Builder
Shittim Board were used for building the tabernacle. They were the foundation of church. Notice how they were not placed haphazardly. They are overlaid with gold. Similarly saints you are the building blocks of church. You need to partner with your fellow workers in prayer and church building. As the board was overlaid with gold which hides the shortcomings and mistakes of fellow workers. Similarly you need to be in one mind and love your brother or your sister and partner in Christ.
Prayer Partner
Mark 6:7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
Jesus also used the same method in his ministry. Today we find people when they share the gospel to the masses, they go in groups. But Jesus understood the principal of church building and sent the disciples in two. They worked wonders and came back and gave the report.
Helper
Ecclesiastes 4:10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
The importance of fellowship with your brother or sister is not confined only to prayer. But whenever you find your brother or your sister in need of help. You need to partake in that duty.
James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Saints henceforth let's be doers of the word as it is written.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Prayer
Father I pray that you forgive my sin of not fellowshipping with my brother and sister in Christ. I come into your presence. Holy Spirit guide my steps and create in me a heart which is pleasing to my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
God bless
