MOUNT ZION (THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD)

Isaiah 2:3(And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem).

Hebrew 12:22(But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirit of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel).

As a believer we need to know what we stand to gain when we appear before God in Zion. Church is our city of refuge; it is the city of the living God. Church is the house of God where he has chosen to dwell. It is his sanctuary. It is a prepared place for his people and is well guarded. You cannot be there and be sorrowful.  Our problems will be solved by God himself who dwells in Mount Zion. In mount Zion we come under open heaven which we may not enjoy as individuals because is not everyone that has open heaven. Our prayers are answered immediately. Jacob had an encounter with God in Bethel and he said this is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven (Genesis 28:11-22). We are expected to draw strength from Mount Zion. Psalms 84:7(They go from strength to strength every one of them in Zion appeareth before God). Life is a battle and we need strength to keep winning as we move forward. His angels are there to minister to us (Hebrews 1:14). The spirit of just men made perfect are the spirit of our fathers of faith, the spirit of Abraham, David, Joseph, Daniel and many more. (Hebrew 11:1-16) the bible said they desire a city and God gave them a city. Hebrew 11:16(But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city). Who will not want to be imparted with the spirit of these men of Faith? If you ask God for the spirit of excellence, he will ask Daniel to impart you with it in Mount Zion. I am motivated to write on this topic because I have heard so many believers say to me that they worship God in their house on Sunday. He has chosen a place for himself to gather the assembly of his people. There is a blessing in multitudes. In the multitudes of people is the king’s honor and he is the King of kings (Proverbs 14:28). We go to mount Zion to honor God with our present and to fellowship with him.  We go there to be sanctified by the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel and to receive our deliverance and to be empowered to possess our possession.  Obadiah 1:17(But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions). In Zion, we are being taught on how to serve God acceptably and to walk in his way by his anointed teachers (Jeremiah 3:15, 2Chronicles 15:3). I believe that no one knows the benefit of Zion more than King David. He said that a day in the house of God is better than a thousand and that he will rather be a door keeper in the house of God than to dwell in the tent of wickedness(Psalm 84:7-12). David was a lover of God and the bible recorded that he won all his battles. If you love God you will love going to his house and you will be empowered to win your battles. Only the sons and daughters are entitled to inheritance. If you are not yet his son and daughter, now is the best time to do so.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
