DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE 

DATE: Monday, April 28, 2025.

TOPIC: THE ANOINTED PROFESSIONALS (II)

MEMORISE : And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding... shall do according to all that the LORD has commanded (Exodus 36:1).

READ: Exodus 39:32-43

[32].   Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 

[33].   And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 

[34].   the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering; 

[35].   the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat; 

[36].   the table, all its utensils, and the showbread; 

[37].    the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light; 

[38].   the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door; 

[39].    the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base; 

[40].    the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 

[41].   and the garments of ministry, to minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister as priests.

[42].   According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 

[43].  Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.

EXPOSITION 

       God instructed Moses to choose skilled artisans to build the tabernacle. Moses selected those who weren't only gifted and wise but also willing to help Bezalel and Aholiab with stirred hearts (Exo. 35:5: 36:2). These artisans crafted various items for the tabernacle-the Ark of Covenant, the showbread table, the gold lampstand, and the priestly garments. They also managed the materials, constructed the tabernacle court, and accounted for the priesthood garments. With their swift work, the skilled artisans completed the tabernacle

       The anointed/gifted artisans cooperated without rivalry to fulfil the LORD'S instructions (1 Cor. 3:8-9), showing humility and obedience to God's servants. Moses recognised their efforts. Supporting God's servants in their vision brings divine blessings. As a skilled professional, God has blessed you to bless your community, humanity and the Church. Ministry isn't limited to the pulpit your profession is also a platform for serving God.

PRAYER POINTS

1.    Lord Jesus, make me a blessing to my church and all believers.

2.    God, please help me finish my task before my time is up.

3.    Father, free Your Church from competition and rivalry, replacing them with cooperation and unity.

SUGGESTED HYMN FOR TODAY: 

CAC GHB: 744

1. Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord,

 But train me for Thy will;

 For even I, in fields so broad,

 Some duties may fulfil;

 And I will ask for no reward,

 Except to serve Thee still.

2. How many serve, how many more

 May to the service come;

 To tend the vines, the grapes to store,

 Thou dost appoint for some;

 Thou hast Thy young men at the war

 Thy little ones at home.

3. All works are good, and each is best

 As most it pleases Thee;

 Each worker pleases when the rest

 He serves in charity;

 And neither man nor work unblest

 Wilt Thou permit to be.

4. Our Master all the work hath done

 He asks of us to-day;

 Sharing His service, every one

 Share too His Sonship may:

 Lord, I would serve and be a son;

 Dismiss me not, I pray.

Amen.
