SUNDAY APRIL 3 2022      A PLACE FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD  

                                                         Presented by Steven Schiller

GOD TOLD KING DAVID THAT HE WOULDN`T BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD,HOWEVER

HIS SON WOULD.

1Ki 8:18  And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. 

1Ki 8:19  Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 

SOLOMON BEGINS TO BUILD THE HOUSE FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD.

2Ch 3:1  Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 

2Ch 3:2  And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 

HE MADE THE HOUSE MOST HOLY.

2Ch 3:8  And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 

HE REARED UP THE PILLERS BEFORE THE TEMPLE

2Ch 3:17  And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. 

SOLOMON FURNISHED THE HOUSE OF GOD

2Ch 5:1  Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 

SOLOMAN FINISHED THE TEMPLE OF GOD

2Ch 5:2  Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 

2Ch 5:3  Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 

2Ch 5:4  And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 

2Ch 5:5  And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 

2Ch 5:6  Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 

2Ch 5:7  And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims: 

2Ch 5:8  For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 

2Ch 5:9  And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 

2Ch 5:10  There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of EgypT.

SOLOMON PRAYS TO GOD

2Ch 6:13  For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven, 

2Ch 6:14  And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 

THINE EYES MAY BE OPEN UPON THIS HOUSE DAY & NIGHT WHERE THY PUT THY NAME

2Ch 6:20  That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

MANY MEN HAVE PUT THEIR NAME IN PLACES OF WORSHIP TO GOD INSTEAD OF GOD`S

NAME. JUST LOOK AT THEIR BILLBOARDS, AND SIGNS OF IDENTITY. THE NAME OF

GOD IS DISHONORED BY THESE MEN.

2Ch 6:21  Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive. 

2Ch 6:22  If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house; 

2Ch 6:23  Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. 

2Ch 6:24  And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; 

2Ch 6:25  Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 

2Ch 6:26  When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; 

2Ch 6:27  Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. 

2Ch 6:28  If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: 

2Ch 6:29  Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: 

2Ch 6:30  Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:) 

2Ch 6:31  That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 

2Ch 6:32  Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; 

THEY SHALL FEAR THEE

THEY SHALL KNOW THY NAME

THAT ALL PEOPLE SHAL KNOW THY NAME

2Ch 6:33  Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 

IF THY PEOPLE PRAY TOWARD THE CITY YOU THOU HAS CHOSEN.

2Ch 6:34  If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; 

2Ch 6:35  Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 

IF THEY SIN AGAINST THEE

2Ch 6:36  If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; 

2Ch 6:37  Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; 

IF THEY RETURN TO THEE WITH ALL THEIR HEART,AND SOUL

2Ch 6:38  If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: 

HEAR FROM THY THRONE HEAR THEIR PRAYER

2Ch 6:39  Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. 

2Ch 6:40  Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 

2Ch 6:41  Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. 

2Ch 6:42  O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

WHEN SOLOMON HAD COMPLETED HIS PRAY.

2Ch 7:1  Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 

2Ch 7:2  And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. 

2Ch 7:3  And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.  

WHEN WE THINK OF ALL THE BLESSINGS GOD SUPPLIED SOLOMON. GOD GAVE WISDOM,

AND RICHES TO HIM MORE ABUNDANTLY THAN ANYONE ELSE, BECAUSE HE ASKED THAT

HE COULD GIVE HIS SERVANT UNDERSTANDING TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE. IT WASN`T ENOUGH FOR HIM. THE LESSON IS SAME THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE. WITHOUT GOD THERE IS NOTHING, AND ALL THINGS ARE VANITY.

1Ki 3:9  Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 

1Ki 3:10  And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 

1Ki 3:11  And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 

1Ki 3:12  Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 

1Ki 3:13  And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 

1Ki 3:14  And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 

1Ki 3:15  And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. 

DON`T BE TURNED AWAY FROM GOD,HONOR THE NAME OF THE HOUSE WITH HIS NAME,

IT IS A DISHONOR TO CALL THE ASSEMBLY OF GOD BY THE NAME OF MEN, OR TO

WORSHIP GOD BY MAN`S TRADITION OR DOCTRINE

IF YOU WOULD THE PRAYER`S OF THE CHURCH LET BE KNOWN NOW. WE WILL PRAY FOR

YOU. IF YOU`RE NOT A CHRISTIAN, AND HAVEN`T OBEYED THE GOSPEL PLEASE OBEY
