VIII. MAIN BODY:

Exodus 25:9 (King James Version)

According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

A. All we do and say are after the pattern - the LORD JESUS CHRIST

"According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,"

Hebrews 8:5 (Amplified Bible)

[But these offer] service [merely] as a pattern and as a foreshadowing of [what has its true existence and reality in] the heavenly sanctuary. For when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was warned by God, saying, See to it that you make it all [exactly] according to the copy (the model) which was shown to you on the mountain.

Hebrews 9:9 (Amplified Bible)

Seeing that that first [outer portion of the] tabernacle was a parable (a visible symbol or type or picture of the present age). In it gifts and sacrifices are offered, and yet are incapable of perfecting the conscience or of cleansing and renewing the inner man of the worshiper.

1 Corinthians 14:29-33 (New King James Version)

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.

But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14:40 (Amplified Bible)

But all things should be done with regard to decency and propriety and in an orderly fashion.

We have patterns of worship in our local church. Aside from the banner and the pulpit, all through out the worship services that you will attend in our church are according to one pattern. Even in our prayers, we follow a pattern - A.C.T.S. - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. We enjoy it. We call it as program of the HOLY SPIRIT. We enjoy following it.

The ALEPH-TAV signature of the ALPHA and the OMEGA is located after the word "after". JESUS CHRIST is our pattern of living.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST is our PATTER of our lifestyle while He was on earth.

1 John 4:17 (Amplified Bible)

In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

Acts 17:28 (Amplified Bible)

For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.

Philippians 2:5 (Amplified Bible)

Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus:

B. We have patterns for the ffg:

1. tabernacle

2. instruments

"and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it"

1. Tabernacle - "mishkan" in Hebrew meaning - residence, figuratively the grave, dwelling, habitation, tent

We glorify the LORD through our earthly body.

2 Corinthians 5:1 (Amplified Bible)

FOR WE know that if the tent which is our earthly home is destroyed (dissolved), we have from God a building, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 Corinthians 5:4 (Amplified Bible)

For while we are still in this tent, we groan under the burden and sigh deeply (weighed down, depressed, oppressed)—not that we want to put off the body (the clothing of the spirit), but rather that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal (our dying body) may be swallowed up by life [after the resurrection].

2 Peter 1:13 (Amplified Bible)

I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle (tent, body), to stir you up by way of remembrance,

2. Instruments or "kely" in Hebrew meaning "apparatus, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon, armour.

Our instruments of worship is our body.

Psalms 31:12 (Amplified Bible)

I am forgotten like a dead man, and out of mind; like a broken vessel am I.

Isaiah 22:24 (Amplified Bible)

And they will hang on him the honor and the whole weight of [responsibility for] his father’s house: the offspring and issue [of the family, high and low], every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flasks and big bulging bottles.

We bear the burden with the LORD. Our pattern of life or how we live on earth is like the pattern of how JESUS lives on earth 2,000 years ago.

How we live our life here on earth?

1. We live for what GOD wills

1 Peter 4:2 (Amplified Bible)

So that he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life living by [his] human appetites and desires, but [he lives] for what God wills.

2. We live a devoted and godly life with persecution

2 Timothy 3:12 (Amplified Bible)

Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand].

3. We live a life worthy of the LORD

Colossians 1:10 (Amplified Bible)

That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].

4. We live consecrated and pure life

1 Thessalonians 4:7 (Amplified Bible)

For God has not called us to impurity but to consecration [to dedicate ourselves to the most thorough purity].

5. Live a life of love

Ephesians 5:2 (Amplified Bible)

And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.

Ephesians 5:2 (New International Version)

and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

6. Live a life worthy of the calling

Ephesians 4:1 (Amplified Bible)

I THEREFORE, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called [with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God’s service,

7. Live by faith in the SON of GOD

Galatians 2:20 (Amplified Bible)

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

The instruments represents or symbolizes our body parts.

What do these body parts do for the LORD?

1. Lips - gives Him praise, and we declare our faith

Hebrews 13:15 (Amplified Bible)

Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.

2. Eyes - fix on JESUS

Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3. Feet - walks straight to path of peace

Luke 1:79 (New International Version)

to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace."

4. Lay hands on the sick

Mark 6:5 (Amplified Bible)

And He was not able to do even one work of power there, except that He laid His hands on a few sickly people [and] cured them.

5. Knees - bend or bown before the LORD

Romans 14:11 (Amplified Bible)

For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise].

Philippians 2:10 (Amplified Bible)

That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

6. Ears - listen to GOD's WORDS

Matthew 11:15 (Amplified Bible)

He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.

7. Mind - renewed by GOD's WORDS

Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have given me a body to praise, worship and thank You.
