The Table Made of Gold
Exodus 37:10~16 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it. And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim. He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. (11~14)

As you live, you need three types of food or nourishment. They are physical food, intellectual food, and the most important, spiritual food. The covenant that you hold onto today is connected to your future. That’s why you must properly hold onto the spiritual covenant. Furthermore, because people lack spiritual food, they have no choice but to run errands for Satan. In order to save them, you must build a table to place that spiritual food. What is the spiritual food that you must eat first then relay?
1. A Life That Enjoys Liberation and God-given Food That Provides Power
If your fate and destiny haven’t changed, no amount of effort will matter. First, you must eat the “bread of life” that liberates you from Egypt. You can accomplish that by always enjoying the mystery of Christ. As you walk on the wilderness path, the “bread of life” that provides power has already been prepared. Children of God must gain victory through God-given power, and not the power that comes from the world.
2. The Food of Evidence That Has Continued to Lead You
You must eat the food of evidence that has led you until now. Abraham held onto the covenant of the mystery of the Gospel(Genesis 3:15, 6:14, and 12:1~3) and built an altar. This blessing was relayed in its entirety to Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. However, the Israelites became enslaved because they had lost hold of the promise of the Gospel. Through Jochebed and Jethro who received this food, the blessing was relayed to Moses, Joshua, and Caleb. This blessing and evidence of the Gospel have now been passed on to you.
God instructed the Israelites to make a table overlaid with pure gold and to attach rings on its sides. The rings were attached to allow the Israelites to easily move it. Meaning, God is looking for a church that will relay the “bread of life” to the 237 nations and provide food that will heal and save the next generation. Wherever the “bread of life” is, the blessing of giving your life must begin.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be that day when I eat the “bread of life” given by You then relay it to others. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
