Your Assignment for Session 15 - The Shewbread

When I finish my worship at the Golden Candlestick, I turn to the Table of the Shewbread. Every morning, steaming hot shewbread is spread before God. Fresh shewbread is placed on this table every day.

Shewbread is a symbol of the Word of God. You can't live with yesterday's Word of God. You may say, "Yesterday I studied so much that today I can live on that study." No, every day fresh new steaming shewbread must be spread. Every day you must have a new revelation of God in your heart. You must read the Word of God everyday. I say to the Lord, "Lord, I envy the Word of God. I admire and love the Word of God. I pant after the Word of God. I read, I study, I believe, I act, I thank You, and I want to teach this Word of God. So, Lord give me a new fresh revelation in my heart. My heart is panting for the Word of God. Please give me a new revelation."

When I pray in this way, God always gives me a revelation. I have been in my ministry for 38 years but even now, I struggle for the next Sunday's message. My wife does not understand my heart. She says, "You have been ministering for 38 years. When you open your mouth, the Word of God just flows out of your mouth, so why do you worry?" I answer, "You don't understand me."

I am dying every week for a new message. For 38 years I have been dying for the message. God would not give me two or three messages at one time. God only gives me daily bread-weekly messages. So I am forced to pray every week for the message. Every week I cry, then God gives me the message from the Word of God.

It is not easy to receive the Word of God. Many people are failing in their ministry because they are presenting a stale message and so people cannot eat. But, if the pastor really prays and brings a steaming, fresh, delicious, juicy message from the Word of God, then people would come to his church. So, don't live upon old bread. Always ask God to give you new bread daily.
