Key Elements of Logo Design and Theology

last Sunday we spent quality time looking at two of the essential components of a new logo namely the golden square and then the Lone Star the Lone Star that is that comprises and incorporates or the shiny stars because in him would leave a movie have a big he's alone ster prophesied about manifested in Bethlehem and wise men came all the way from the east because they saw the star but in him we exist and as as many as lead others to cries and win souls they will shine as tears of heaven and not only that he promised to give us those who overcome the morning star is shining star I can't hear you it's Jenny wandering star here this morning any full Easter we're not wandering stars we had no room in stairs we are not falling stars we are shining stars can I hear amen we left out the third component and who can remind me what a third component is the two pillars you know what the golden squirrel represents already I don't have to believe order today and the lone star but it two pillars that I in front of that logo we shall focus our attention on them and shall explain what they represent both materially and theologically before we examine the material composition of the two pillars please permit me to lay a solid foundation for today's exposition you recall that the word Church entered into the vocabulary of the Bible for the first time when Jesus spoke in Caesarea Philippi and said to his disciples who do men say that I the Son of Man have is good to have you back and in turn and they say welcome home Joe see you sitting got your sleep back there it's part of the service of to me we are polite people who greet men it is not part of the service you will now find let little children they brought to me written in red was part of the service not a distraction in caesarea philippi jesus said to his disciples who do men say that I the Son of Man and you know the story some said you are Elijah some said you are higher and those who do not want to miss you say you are one of the prophets then pointed Lee yesterday who do you say that I the Son of Man and and Peter open his mouth and said you are the Christ the Son of the Living God I think Jesus pause for a moment and said you're not copy book that Simon flesh and blood has not revealed to you but my father who is in heaven plus a Down simon barjona and upon this revelation you've just received I will build my church upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it and I will give you the keys not to the kingdom the keys of the kingdom of heaven so that whatsoever you bind on earth bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be settled in heaven welcome to your looters back you've got on 8/3 456 only God knows how many honeymoons you're looking so beautiful she is looking a bit tired so you look fresh you don't worry maloo maloo ba ba boo I'd rather buff one yippee okay we leave it for another time animal uma aloo buh buh buh to what it shall miss you you and I cannot fathom oh there's another person for all the way from South Africa as a shake oh you're welcome god bless your good welcome o ice my son doing good and your wife you can't fathom what went through the minds of the disciples because Jesus was speaking to them what they were not familiar with the new about the tabernacle they could turn from money until even about the tabernacle of Moses they could talk about the tabernacle of David and they could talk about the Temple of Solomon rebuild by Herod that lasted some 40 years in rebuilding and then they all had participated in different synagogues so they're familiar with their were familiar with tabla temple synagogue but a following this man who now after they have been part of a now said I will build my church the ecclesia the called out ones from where would they be called out and we are they going they are used to monument deny you to movement and to compound their matter Jesus never give them a definition of the church throughout all his teaching there was no moment he paused and said by the way let me define the church you oh you can say but he said you are the salt of the earth you are the light of the world he had not said Church at that time it took Paul would like this high-level spiritual capacity to define the church in first Timothy chapter 3 verses 14 and 15 Paul the Apostle made an attempt there to define what the church is he Steve find people go into church to be or what did you say when you were eating this morning let's go to the church they also said the same thing I was glad when they said to me let us go into the house of the Lord but Jesus was about to build so many houses that this world would not be able to contain because you are the house of the Lord I don't want to compound your mother today because when he said to them in my father's house there are many mansions that you know what he was saying at all and that's why you still sing they have mansions waiting for you in heaven Peter will be at the pearly gate of hand you the key to your mansion I wish you well when you get there I hope to be your neighbor too it was a first Timothy 3:14 and 15 that Paul made an attempt to first define the church it was writing a letter to Timothy so Timothy he might take a while before you see me I hope not to tarry long but if I do I'm writing to you so that you may know how to behave yourself tell your neighbor there's a behavior of pattern the church is not your living room it's not your private room you can do what you will there you can only do God's will give me first Timothy 3:14 and 15 if I Terry I'm writing to you that you may know how to behave yourself where these things are right to you do I hope to come to you shortly when you're not in charge of your schedule you you don't know where you'll be tomorrow I said minding my business at home on Saturday and suddenly BAM I got an a lot lot of money our dear man of God mr. president would like to see you Sunday night at the residence what do you say all right we don't defer my Poppa for retiree before bingo interpreter those who don't speak Yoruba don't put that on the television it should be editing it should be written these things well whether you put it or not the church in the cloud has already had it's too late you know I should become somebody should be seen there you are in the cloud all right let's read but if I'm delayed I rise so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself where I can hear you what is the house of God which is the Church of the Living God watches the Church of the Living God the pillar and the ground of truth is an attentive definition if I'm delayed would you please sit there but if I'm delayed I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God which is the Church of the Living God which is the pillar and ground of the truth this is the first attempt by Paul to define the church and he located the church in the dream of the patriarch called Jacob who left home in search of a wife on his way to paddan-aram he came to his sudden place the Sun had set and it took a stone there for a pillow you know it was one of those stones that Abraham had used to build this Potter as soon as he put his head on this strong pillows I don't know how convenient that worse - hungry man any food is food to a man who is trained and who could not pay for a motel any pillow is below but suddenly he saw a dream he saw a pillar I went far now send that into heaven angels ascending and descending on them and the Lord stood upon that ladder and spoke to him I am the God of Abraham the god of Isaac for the first time I found that his name was not there because it doesn't matter how tall your grandfather is you have to grew your height in ba-ba-ba-boom Allah do you understand me you have to interrogate your own Christianity whether you have relationship we got or not you cannot say my father is a pastor there for me Christian zero like David said to Solomon you must know God for yourself he's our player I'm the god of your father Abraham the god of your father Isaac the land upon which you lie now I'll give to you because I promised them and any woke up and said God is in this place give me Genesis 28 16 Genesis 2016 then Jacob our work from his sleep and said surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it that's why you can behave anyhow because you don't know God is present if you are constantly aware that Jehovah is present you carry yourself better you behave better if you know that they sees everything he knows everything is where you think is not you not need serious follow-up because you know his eyes are going to have fro the earth is seeking those whose hearts a lawyer towards him that he might make himself strong on their behalf a lot today I need the strength like never before can I hear it may let's read then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it to him it was an accidental thing to god it was pre-programmed it was pre-planned listen to what he said and he was afraid and said how awesome is this place this is none other than the house of God no building no blocks no cement do you understand me nothing now Paul said in first Timothy three for that you may know how to behave yourself where in the house of God now Jacob I'd look at the damn house this is the house and it was afraid and said hours on his display this is none other than the house of God days is a gauge of heaven like Jacob Russell in the morning and took the stone he had put at his head set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of eight they that certain place like Jonathan David who say became awesome place to him what made it awesome the presence of God so when Paul said I'm writing to you that you may know how to conduct yourself in the house of God which is the Church of the Living God that is when Jesus said I will build my church this is what is referring to the house of God the pillar and a grant of truth he was connecting the church back to the first pillar that was anointed in the Bible are you with me so when you see those two pillars don't just think they are decorative accessories I've told you everything in that logo speaks about you that's where you're going you're going to become an iconic global citizen you'll be a shining star and you become a kingdom pillar now let me do you understand why I had to go to define church for you because you are going to find out that without these two pillars church is no church but any church without these two pillars who assume collapse is a question of trying because persecution we come all kinds of attacks will come if you read in Acts of the Apostles chapter 8 giveme acts of the apostles chapter 8 I hope I'll be able to get to this pillars today Acts of the Apostles chapter 8 now Saul was consenting to his death at that time what happened a great persecution I row against the church who was at Jerusalem and they were all scattered throughout their regions of Judea and Samaria except the apostles this church was more than 5,000 people the last time we counted right and when persecution our roads were a scattered who remain because they are the pillars pillars don't move when I get where we're going you will see that before Moses received the architectural blueprints for the tabernacle on the mountaintop if first had to erect 12 pillars you don't know that Exodus 24 exodus 20:4 now he God was once said to Moses come up to the Lord you and Aaron Nadab and Abihu and 70 of the elders of Israel and watching from afar okay verse I'm looking for verse 4 verse 4 and Moses wrote all the words of the Lord and arose early in the morning and built what an altar we're at the foot of the maintain and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel now I'm talking about two pillars here I'm showing you 12 pillars you say what do you mean God knew from before time began but one day Jesus will come and build his church and the attack will come seriously against it but there will be 12 men standing each pillar represented each tribe in this particular story if you read further it was after he had erected planted I mean lady altar building altar erected the pillars that God gave him the blueprint for the tabernacle in Exodus 20:5 everything that is for additional that is not done properly will bring the house down is the question of time you can rush and build your house quickly and boom problem I'll cover it but it will crack my friend doesn't like me to tell him to tell this story is the external deter of this church he just built his house and he called my servant doctor friend to come and dedicate I went there I bought was snacks and we had and we pray for the house and yeah it came back here they said I will have to pull their house down so why it's cracking everywhere and I love that say you are becoming for my landlord he said this is not funny I said okay I'm what do you need to start the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do the bible does not say nothing you answer nothing there's no nothing there some 11 if the Foundation's be destroyed what can the righteous do some 11 verse 3 if the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do do you find an answer they're saying no the answer is next verse look at it the Lord is in his holy temple go to the temple and see how the foundation was laid there and relate for your life first Kings chapter 5 how did they lay the foundation of the temple they took costly stones heme stones and I can hear you large stones three types of stones hewn stones costly stones last turns to lay the foundation what is that apostles prophets and Jesus Christ himself in the Cana stroll if those foundations I enjoy your life you better start interrogating your Christianity they may have psychological salvation and cerebra Christianity we are up your best dressed on Sunday unsure and danced to musicians who themselves do not know what they are doing I don't mean you if I me you I will tell you you it's not you okay look what do you think is responsible for a man getting up leaving home with a strap in his hand a bottle of oil in his pocket no money for a motel going in such a way why then he would take his store and erect it as a pillar a new pour oil on it is this urinary thing no it was been led every inch of the way because of the future that it would not even see now you would mean so when you hear the church is a house of God they pilla and the ground of truth you need to go back and see what pilla somebody say what pillar jacob the patriarch erected four pillars in total how many pillars I can't hear you I cannot hear you how many corners of the earth herb why do you talk of four corners of the earth and wind from the corners of the earth because what it was doing that day would have global impact in the days and years and multitudes of year as a number of years to come erected four pillars but only two of them one owing to it out of the four pillars are many one no engine okay because I've taught you before if and even if you're not familiar with this go to the sixteen tape series on what is church so now we stop playing Church and if you can't get it is by my book is coming out you'll find it there what is church church is not Anglican Church church is not Methodist Church church is not Baptist Church church is not the polite Church those are denominations there departments of the same straw you don't understand me they are labels our main food on their on their creation including cGCC syllable I'm not sure you are getting me it's a liberal when you get to heaven you're not going to find sim Peter's Peter who slap you for naming for luminary Church after him because it would tell you infer in 1st Peter chapter 5 is that the church is blood-bought he paid for you with his own blood I am an eyewitness of his suffering answer the church is in Peter Wow where did I tell you to mimic Church after me but you know we don't need Church are within buildings and your buildings we got a minor - we gotta use thus what we compete about it doesn't make sense to God but first villi erected he erected it in Bethel and when he erected a pillar he anointed with oil and strew before the pillar to make a vow to God if you keep me in the way that I go and bring me back safely to my father's house and give me food and raiment having food and raiment let us dare be with content it was not asking for transfer of wealth it was not asking for Empire it was not it's a give me food early bring me back to my father's house then then this pillar that I reacted today will become the house of God hello of all that you give me I will give you a tenth of all no preacher was making a call for tithes and offering it's something from within him he had live with his grandfather Abram Abraham who had told him the story of his encounter with Melchizedek do you understand me he knew that was the right thing to do everything that I will give me I'll give you a tenth of it and you be my god he loved the place I went to paddan-aram you know what Padanaram means you don't know it means cultivate a field cultivated field that's what partner means what does he mean cultivated I can't hear you now young people and parents who are Renison young people please it is only from cultivated field you get spouses for your children else you marry Delilah for them and they'll break their heads one day is only from cultivated fields if you raise it you look for spouses for your children because if they come from dysfunctional homes they are going to render their new home totally dysfunctional okay all right somebody's recorded me the field he got to pardon our mind you know the rest of the story don't you know he sadly banned for 20 years in those 20 years Lebon change his wages ten times he said it was a fear of his father Isak that kept him while he was going through this process so the day came when he gathered his wine and all his children in Genesis 30:1 said hey guys your father's disposition towards me is no longer what it used to be so are your brothers also before they kidnap me or kill me I'm going by the way the angel of the Lord before whom I stood to anoint the pillar had appeared to me and he gave me a strategy that transferred your father's world into my hands so when you stand before God to make a vow is one that helps you to keep the bow you don't get it there's nothing you can do your strength to please God except he helps you there's nothing you have to give him that does not come from him are you with me so he fled and three days after live and cut off with him do you remember what he said to him he said I intend to do you have better god of your father showed up yesterday and said I should not talk to you good or bad I don't know why it is talking numbers drops laughing yeah this I should not talk good or bad just he's saying something at the end of the day they agreed to enter into covenant with each other that they will not attack each other because these are my daughters he said and out of the heap of stalls they gather together upon which they said to eat Jacob took another pillar another stone erected it as a pillar in Genesis that well and he calls his name gali gali but there was no anointing on it no oil nothing was spot on it it was just kept there what does this stone this pillar represent is not part of the pillars of Bethel this is a witness to the world because gal it means witness that those who will not be anointed I would have to reach out to with our anointing gal it also represents something else in the spirit are you listening to me this is the place where your enemies become your world wishes for if a man's way pleases the Lord even his enemies would be at peace to them the man was coming to do him hand they couldn't because God showed up they got show up before your enemy shows off in the name of Jesus are you listening to this that is a second pill I directed by Jacob but it was not anointed and after he had served some twenty years or magic God showed up to him and said it's time to return to you for assault go back to Bethel see see how consistent God can be an hour in notices every little detail give me Genesis 25 Genesis chapter 35 then God said to Jacob arise go up to the third and dwell there and make an altar there to go all around the direction pillars there go and make an altar to God who appear to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother so he returned home because God said it was time many times people jump boat because something better has push pulling them from another side they would leave this company and go to that without checking sometimes they jump from frying pan to fire because the boss it was God who asked him to go and he asked him now to react what an altar but he had enough sanctified common sense in knew that there were foreign goes hello he knew there were foreign gods within his household and this jealous God we have no competitor so before I will build this altar it took an offering offering of gods Genesis 35 verse 2 and Jacob said his household and to all over within put away the foreign gods are among you purify yourselves and change your garments the letters arise and go up to befell and I will make an altar there to God who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I had gone so the Buried or the foreign gods in the house household idols they buried them under a temperature of shaking are you with me buried them there it was after that in our erected an altar and when he erected the altar he called his name el Bethel are you following me some of you are not answering you're just looking when I ask questions you answer are you following me not because I didn't know answer somehow about that cannot speak I'd also speak so when I ask questions answer are you following me good I can hear you now you had collected the idols yet very dummy way erected his altar that he called Alberto Alberto means God of the house his assembling materials for true church God of the house he has anointed appeal at Battelle he call in the house of God Paul refer to it as the ground and the pillar and ground of truth are you following me then what is the assignment of the church to win the loss at all caused by witnessing so erected another pillar without any oil call Gally now he built an altar to God and he called it what Elbe tell it means word god of the house now listen to this without the god of the house the house of God is a synagogue of City hello whenever the god of the house is not in the house of God it becomes synagogue of Satan and at best den of thieves my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations where you have made it a den of robbers if God of the house is not a one in the house every other person in the house is an impostor this YPG opposes professed pastors evangelists teachers bishops admissions and our deacons who think the churches about them there is an altar call L battle the god of the house was function in his house is his house you may know how to behave conduct yourself in the house of God or the Tommies to do in the house they cut up the house it was after this altar was erected that God showed up again to jiggle and said what's your name a second time say my name is Jacob say you're no longer Jacob you are Israel and as soon as that encounter finished it took another stone remember sympathy no an erected it as a pillar on this second pillar i poured wine drink offering and oil that's the second pillar of the tale gallied was not in bethel the first one that i bought oil on was in Bethell gallied was in his journey between Padanaram and befell because you have to encounter the world and reach out to them and go who make enemies to become a well wishes crew can I hear amen then in Genesis 25 after I built an altar I called God of the house el Bethel then he erected the third pillar but his second and anointed pillar and on that pillar I poured wine you want me to read you trust me he poured wine drink offering and oil this time after and it still Umberto Genesis 25 I want you to see it stop looking at me like Genesis terrified ready read so Jacob sort of a pillar in the place where he talked with God a pillar of stone and he poured a drink offering on it and he poured oil on it that's the second anointed pillar if I'm given touch to this message I'll call it be to another pillars of God's house at this time his favorite wife was pregnant he had two wives he was legally married to one and happily married to the other because he didn't want Leah he labored for seven years for Rachel Marie initial changing orders then they come medic Juan de Conde call they call him as I cannot be done a condom and I Krenim Imperium he cannot be done here the younger cannot marry before the older so yeah you know and then you work for me for another seven years or this one is ahead this is the world would do I would offer surberg even hit hard to be first then I work for seven years you know renew oh yeah God his second wife almost simultaneously with the Francois Jacob and then each wife also gave him additional while in the competition billion Silva also added and you say what is that because the river most part into four river heads and they ask you to see if the river spatter into for Ibanez I'm getting four wives economy will bite you hard don't do that nonsense can I hear you may even if you can afford it God's will is one man one way for a lifetime not one man one wife at the time until death do them part okay are you still here good at this time Rachel was pregnant and she was heavy and Jacob the head of the family said we must get to Bethlehem now why couldn't just Jacob wait you love this woman don't you why carry a heavy woman over a five mile journey well as soon as I got near Bethlehem she went into hard labor and the Midwife said you will have this one also this child also she had used the amount to say go add another to me that's why he named the first one Joseph now my life is modern easiest is something else that I'm sent here to do and I have to do it and she became pregnant heavy with the next child and died in the process of giving birth to their child you following me there are no accidents in God everything is pre-planned pre-program it works everything after the counsel of his own will that somebody dies that childbirth is not me be encouraged look at a child that was a lesson God is sending as a woman was passing out she called his name Ben Oni son of my sorrow and the father for the first time Jacob namely child oh the eleven brothers before him were named by their mothers like my former boss she's gonna find me all his children through his first wife one named by his mother while he was in jail they were always arresting him and putting him in and arrested he didn't wait turn but the mother was a life to name them those are people suffer for this country I pray God that their contribution will not be forgotten for the first time Jacob upon his mother said his name shall now be called benoni he shall be called Benjamin and it's not because I'm Collins is not because I'm weak at the you you saw myself we are in the hands of God like puppets it's painting a picture of type and shadow of the future the Messiah will be a man of sorrows acquainted with grief because become the son of the right hand so Benjamin you're acting something that is yet to take place your mother calls you sorrow son of my sorrow I call you son of my right hand and the reason we came to Bethlehem is it does not matter when Mary will be pregnant there'll be a decree I would take her from Galilee to Bethlehem we must get there because the place that image I'll be born it's been Bethlehem and your last child Jacob who have to add that because I'm sending the last Adam are you with me it was on the grave of Rachel they erected the final pillar many of us don't know that God will not have competitor in our life and whatever we love above him we die while we are see here oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah before you fulfill what God sent you to do here you get to the place with it here o Israel the Lord your God is one God loves a God with all of your heart with all of your soul and with all of your might go will have no company to have you forgotten that Richard carried idols from his father's house into the PHX house that's why she was the only one or buried in that grave where every one of them was buried when mrs. P was ministering this money she said hey we have an interface with Babylon they must maintain contact with our contamination do you understand this the gods you carry will kill you eventually if you don't throw them away despite the fact that all the girls were buried under the laboratory of shaking she still died in the mists of process and a final pillar was erected on a grave this is where all desires everything we prioritize everything that manipulate source we have to die and when you leave that place is where you come to the Tower of ADA the mountain of the Lord's house and above all mountain above all hills so that all nations can flow into it give me Genesis stratified I read that and I can touch a little bit on the two pillars okay that guy wants to preach let him preach God Genesis 34 you keep on keep on like me one day you preach and preach and preach verse 16 then the journey from Bethel and when there was but a little distance to go to where effort Rachel abhorred in childbirth and she had hard labor nigh came to pass when she was in hard labor that the Midwife said to her do not fear you have this son also know what you used to detect babies detect a sex what do you call it scan there was no scanning machine there better when the spirit so this is its own also and so it was as I saw was departing for she died that she called his name what Ben Oni but his father calling him Benjamin what is Bologna son of my sorrow what is Benjamin son of my right hand who is Jesus a man of certa walk winter we grieve when he finished the assignment he sat on the right hand side of God Ben Oni Benjamin they were acting there were typing shutter of Jesus okay let's go on so Rachel died I was buried on the way to ephra that is where Bethlehem and Jacob said a Polana grave which is the pillar of Rich's grave to this day there was no oil port no drink port so you have two pillars one is talking about death to your desires he said I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not i it is Christ who lives in me the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me do you understand me okay Luke chapter number 2 was time for the Messiah to come and she brought forth her first son look at this people start from verse 1 thank you and it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered the decree went out from where from the from the Empire ruler and all the world should be registered and every man must return to his own native land the place of your bath to go register see when they issued laws and decrees in the days that your walls will be billed the decree will be far and wide whenever they are doing this and doing that and sick is doing this and another person is doing that is because God is about to replace people and bring people in is that a simple when you see the crease flying out don't get angry God roots in the affairs of men and it gives it a rooster of I will instill rules in the kingdom of men now they may say I was about to come cesar augusto knew nothing about it but the child mother bunny Bethlehem so he made a decree nothing is against tree of God is for you this census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria so I went to be registered everyone to his own City Joseph also went up from where Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea to the City of David which is called Bethlehem because he was of the house and lineage of David to be registered with Mary is with rod wife who was which why should the decree come at this time because Jacob paid the price because Richard also paid the price why should the decree come at this time that means I must be born in Bethlehem 'you cannot change his plan on purpose go on so it was that while they were there the days were completed for her to be delivered and she brought forth a fresh sound bouncer wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn the owner of the planet came here there was no room for them and why was there no room for them well his ancestor by the name of Jacob had no room in any hotel he slept outside okay it's called DNA it travels it's like a guided pilot certain things that happened to you that you don't know you are creating a future for it people and others have created your future if you are paying attention you see that one pillar is taller than the other can you see it this is the first pillar of Bethel what was poured on it oil this is the second pillar of better what was poured on it wine and oil now I think I would take you from there in the days to come I would just try today to introduce this first pillar is Jesus himself this second pillar is his church although I can see that how can this Philippi Jesus why did he erect the pillar he saw a ladder that went to heaven angels ascending and descending and Jesus here is when he began his ministry Nathanial him say I saw you when you were under the fig tree studied I am very soon you see angels ascend and the same upon the Son of God you cannot separate this pillar from Jesus is intrinsically linked to him why because it's him that connected heaven to the earth is the head of his church you are the pelada holes my life hey you are da Vila da last Jesus you are the peeler d'en haut my life master Jesus you are Doug I [Music] can't hear you sing say come you are [Music] everybody to you you are I hardly come here last okay [Music] Master Jesus [Music] sing it from the earth you are not you are the pillar [Music] Master Jesus [Music] amen why did Jacob for wine and oil on the other pilla petha do you know why follow me to the New Testament to the story of the wounded man along the road to Jericho you remember the story a Levite came and saw him wounded and gasping for breath he was runnin for service it could not be contaminated by this diamond he has forgotten that the ministry is to a dying world when this way then a priest came it did the same thing but here comes the Good Samaritan or is the Good Samaritan is Jesus Jesus himself as a matter of fact in John chapter it was called a Samaritan with evil spirit but is a good Samaritan the Good Samaritan bent over this man and did world dress his wound what did he pour the wine and oil and then took him and gave him to an innkeeper and pay him to the nourish saying take care of him to like him and if you spend more out you know the story well you learnt it from Sunday School now who is the Good Samaritan Jesus who is a wounded man the dine and the sick world when they poured wine and oil is because a wine and oil had to be part of the second pillar representing the church that will be ministering to the lost and the seek are you with me and given him to the innkeep I say you pastors of the church be in charge of the wounded and the sea and take care of them till I come he has two denarii representing two days pay because a day with the Lord is a thousand years a thousand years like it did the church had to be for 2,000 years I need a place to keep the wounded and in a place to keep the injured and in a place to hit the sea so that you can minister wine and oil to them to be healed does the church that's a second pillar there each of these two pillars has four dimensions do you understand me each of them has four dimensions where you have to wait for those can I give you the first Villa today to keep your appetite ready for the second pillar and then to tie it all up to know that you are the killer God needs you he wants to make you a pill on his kingdom was the first thing you notice about the first pillar you see number one the church is where people must experience the manifest presence of God God is in this place and I know it not who was on the ladder talking to him the Lord any living church must have these two pillars you understand why because the most experienced I am NOT saying I felt something manifest presence of God because if there's no manifest present that cannot be indwelling presence God is omnipresent but he wants to manifest himself to you in a way that you know that you know that you've had an encounter with him I can't deny God is too late I knew the place and the time when I encountered him paul said a minor and a process of i know sin the lord you have not seen him what did i you testifying about is hearsay is a place of his manifest precious do you understand me and the people that were serving must be covenant keepers not covenant breakers just the second dimension is truth before the pillar I made a vow to God and those who make vows to God because it's prompted by him already node number three that is that God that will help them to fulfill the vow now I'm not saying pledge because we are used to pledges I will not keep that gets us into trouble I'm talking of something that is that originates in the spirit that that's transacted in the spirit the Spirit of God leading you to take certain steps when he was saying this would become the house of God it didn't have a dime he's like David many many years later saying I will build a house didn't have money for it the ledger so the light it served in abundance abundance there is no material possession abundance there has been reach towards God you're sleeping no I saw two three people sleeping me too I'm going to sleep take your pen right I'll come back next Monday by God's grace and continue what the disappearance mean the four dimensions of the first pillared also like a hundred days out okay by you number one the church is the place of his manifest presence number two the church is made up of covenant people no covenant breakers men and women who vow to God and were enabled by the covenant keeping go to keep the vows number three the church is a pillar and ground of truth there is no room for the spirit of error to operate or function in a living church is a pillar and ground of truth every living Church will be a platform for the dissemination of truth not heresies and all fables nor readers and jokes number four this alone tip pilla without a doubt is intrinsically linked to Jesus himself because is the ladder that connects both heaven and the earth every reformer now make his mark in the world or a Mac in the world must know this pillar because you lean against a pillar to make your vow and commitment to God to guide in the way you go and to help you in the assignment he has given you what erected here what Jacob erected here became a physical pillar in the temple later and it was again the pillar that desired a reformer lean when it was making a vow to God second Kings 21 our union second Kings already no it's not 21 second Kings 23 second Kings 23 beginning from verse 1 now the Kings sent them to gather all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem to him the King went up to the house of the Lord with all the men of Judah with him all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets and all the people go small and great watch this and he read India here in all the words of the book of the Covenant which had been found in the house of the Lord verse 3 then the King stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the Lord to follow the Lord and to keep his Commandments and his testimonies and Institute's with all his heart and all he's so to perform the words of this covenant that were written this book and all the people took his stand for the Covenant when the leader leans again this pillar to make his own covenant the people who take his stand stand to your feet you're going to know more about this pillars in the days to come you understand me you're going to walk in it and become the pillar a man a man and a woman people can reckon with because your word will be your bond you be a covenant keeper not a covenant breaker and you make a difference in a
