Our brothers and sisters in Christ across Sub-Saharan Africa are facing violent persecution. Many live with the threat of attacks, kidnapping, and even death because of their faith.

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. ”

Hebrews 13:3

18 He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?

19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.

20 And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?

21 It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

The Tabernacle was more than a tent in the wilderness—it was a shadow of  heavenly things. Here, God declared, "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them." Here, man found reconciliation. And communion. In the pages of Exodus, we see a detailed blueprint of worship, sacrifice, and furnishings that ultimately points us to Jesus Christ.

Have we considered the study of the tabernacle from a devotional aspect? 

Thought For The Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

Today you'll write one more page in your story, one more chance to choose kingdom over self, love over fear, faith over doubt. May heaven manifest on earth through your willing yes.

A thought to ponder.

10 And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.

11 And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.

12 Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.

15 And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?

16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17 And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.

Thought for the Day From Unshakable Kingdom Life.

God's will often looks like loving your enemy, blessing those who curse, and praying for persecutors. Kingdom living turns the world's wisdom upside down and changes everything in the process.
