THE ARKS OF GOD

THE ARKS OF GOD

In the time of old, the ark of God represents the presence of God. So whenever the Israelites go to war and the ark of God was present with them, even their enemies would know that their God was with them and victory was certain. The ark of God carries the presence of God.

“⁶ Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, "What's all this shouting in the Hebrew camp?" When they learned that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp, ⁷ the Philistines were afraid. "A god has come into the camp," they said. "We're in trouble! Nothing like this has happened before. ⁸ Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the desert.  1 Sam 4:5-8 NIV

But in this dispensation, believers are the ARKS OF GOD, because we carry the presence of God everywhere we go. We are the temple of God and God reside in us.

“Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.” 1 Cor 3:16-17 NIV

The Spirit of God is forever dwelling in us, so wherever we are present, we are sure that God is with us. We are MOBILE ALTARS unto the Lord. Altars not made with hands or any earthly tool but by the finished work of Christ.

Because we are the arks of God and the presence of God dwells in us, wherever we go, two things are bound to happen:

·        EVERY DAGON MUST FALL

¹ “After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. ² Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. ³ When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. ⁴ But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.’ 1 Sam 5:1-4 NIV

When the ark of God was brought to the house of dagon, dagon fell down before the ark of God and broke to piece. Light and darkness cannot reside together, the power of darkness have to bow down to the Light. Darkness can never overcome Light.

So, wherever we go, the powers of darkness must bow to us because we carry God inside of us who is greater than the world.

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 NKJV

·        EVERY OBEDEDOM MUST PROSPER

“¹⁰ So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.¹¹ And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.” 2 Sam 6:10-11 KJV

The ark of convenant brought prosperity unto obededom. God blessed him. As carriers of God’s presence, wherever we are present, we bring comfort to those that morn, prosperity and wealth to the poor, life to the dead, healing to the sick, peace to the troubled, joy to the sorrowful etc.

When Jesus came to the house of Jarius, the daughter being sick to the point of death came back to life. Sorrow turned to joy. (Mk. 5:21-43)

When the prophet came to the poor widow, she became rich and all her dept was paid (2 kings 4:1-7)

Are you a child of God, start walking in the revelation of being a God’s carrier that you are, and from today, wherever you go, every dagon will fall and every obededom will prosper in Jesus name.
