Good morning, our Fire-starter comes from 1 Chronicles 22. Our
Fire-starter thought is: ..Arise therefore, and be doing….

Sometimes we stand and do nothing while we have the resources in front
of us do we not?

David has been wanting to build a house for the ark to rest in but God
would not allow him to because he shed blood. Solomon his son would
prepare a house for the ark of God to rest.
David would have everything ready to go and David said arise therefore,
and be doing….

How many of us have had things laid out in front of us and been told
arise therefore, and be doing?
Maybe it’s in the area of reading the Word of God more, you have
resources to do more but now you must arise therefore and be doing.

Someone will labor for Sunday services yet many will stay at home.
Everything has been prepared for them and we must hear the resounding
message, arise therefore and be doing. While we sit and wait for the
command God has given the coin if you will. When God has supplied the
need get busy and get doing. Solomon, we no longer need anything to
build the house with all we need you to do is arise therefore and be
doing. All we need is more Solomons that are willing to arise therefore
and be doing.
There is a bus driver opening for church arise therefore and be doing.
We need a new Sunday school teacher, arise therefore and be doing.
We need musicians, arise therefore and be doing. We need more laborers,
arise therefore and be doing.

  We all must realize God has given us one task as David gave Solomon
one task and that was Arise therefore and be doing. If you are sitting
and doing nothing for God you need the reminder of Arise therefore and
be doing. If you have got the resources to do what God has called you to
do yet you are sitting idly by, arise therefore and be doing!!!
This morning, let’s arise therefore and be doing!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful Day

1 Chronicles 22:1-19 KJV
Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the
altar of the burnt offering for Israel. [2] And David commanded to
gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he
set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. [3] And
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the
gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight; [4]
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre
brought much cedar wood to David. [5] And David said, Solomon my son is
young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must
be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries:
I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared
abundantly before his death. [6] Then he called for Solomon his son, and
charged him to build an house for the Lord God of Israel. [7] And David
said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house
unto the name of the Lord my God: [8] But the word of the Lord came to
me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars:
thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much
blood upon the earth in my sight. [9] Behold, a son shall be born to
thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his
enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give
peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. [10] He shall build an
house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and
I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. [11]
Now, my son, the Lord be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the
house of the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee. [12] Only the Lord
give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning
Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the Lord thy God. [13] Then
shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and
judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be
strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. [14] Now,
behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the Lord an
hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of
silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance:
timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto. [15]
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of
stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of
work. [16] Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there
is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee.
[17] David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his
son, saying, [18] Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not
given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the
land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before
his people. [19] Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your
God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to
bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God,
into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord.
