30 June 2019 - The Menorah: Jesus and the Church - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed: (I probably missed two songs before this) 1. Way Maker - Sinach 2. In Whom I Can Trust - Steven Wee 3. I Want To Sing Until I Am Lost In Your Love - Malcolm du Plessis 4. I Stand In Worship - New Creation Worship You are special and you have a calling and destiny. God made you unique. Even if you were born out of wedlock, God can still use you mightily. You are called for an assignment. Every time you come to the house of God, that assignment becomes clearer and clearer. There is an assignment from God within your assignment. Every time you come to the house of God, take down notes. There is a special place in Heaven for those who take down notes. Psalm 36:7-9 - The shadow of His wings is a picture of protection. The words “loving kindness” in Hebrew is hesed which means Grace. When you have a revelation of God’s Grace, the supernaturally natural response is to have faith in God’s protection. There is a bountiful feast always prepared for God’s children in the house of God. The word “pleasures” in Hebrew is the plural form of Eden. You can enjoy the pleasures of Paradise in God’s house. When you read or listen to God’s word, you will receive solutions to the problems that you’re facing, even if the word has nothing to do with your problem — in God’s light we will see light. “How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.” (Psalms 36:7-9 WEB) Luke 24:18-27 - Cleopas and the other disciple were heading home on the road to Emmaus on the same day of Jesus’ resurrection. The two disciples had a dim revelation of Jesus. They only saw Jesus as a prophet, and they made Jesus just a side-issue — a means to an end of the restoration of Israel. But Jesus called Himself the Christ. Jesus then expounded from Moses (the first 5 books of the Old Testament) and the prophets to the two disciples. “One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:18-27 WEB) Exodus 25:8-9 - In the first five Books of Moses, there’s only 2 chapters devoted to creation in the Book of Genesis, and many more chapters on redemption. God opened the curtain of Heaven to show Moses the true furnishings of Heaven, so that he could build a replica on earth. The tabernacle is built after a God-given pattern, based on what already exists in Heaven. “Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.” (Exodus 25:8-9 WEB)
The menorah is a picture of Jesus and the church. Understanding this revelation is the key to receive supernatural wisdom to have victory over any problem. We don't need the natural light of the world -- supernatural problems need to be solved with the light of God's word. In His light, we will see light. Image Credits: https://i.ytimg.com
