The Hebron Concept
Today’s Focus: Building
True Alliances
Scripture: 1
Chronicles 11:1,2
Greetings Sons of
God:
1 Chronicles
11:1,2; Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying Behold
we are thy bone and thy flesh. And
moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out
and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed
my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
The scripture says
that all Israel gathered themselves unto David unto Hebron. True alliances cannot be built by organizing,
advertising, summoning or inviting. In
the Body of Christ, true alliances are formed by the Spirit of God and through
the grace in a man as the set man or father over a household.
Congregations can
be built when the leader is amongst the sheep and he has an intimate
relationship with them. And like a true
shepherd the father of the household is given grace to move people or lead them
to a single location. These people who
have formed an true alliance will be attracted to the grace within the father
or leader of the household. The culture of family and love must be
present. Now I know this is a little
wordy but let’s look back at the scripture to prove it.
First, we know
Hebron is the place of joining and the gathering of all Israel to David was to
unite the nation and become one corporate man.
Now the people acknowledged that David was God’s anointed because they
confessed in verse 2 that even though Saul was king it was David that led
Israel out and in. Hence the people were
attracted to the grace that was within David.
David was anointed king at Hebron and Israel was all gathered there to
anoint him.
In the Body of
Christ, God gives grace to spiritual fathers to help lead and mature the Body
of Christ. The Holy Spirit assembles the
Body of Christ in households, then clans then tribes to form the Holy
Nation. When the Holy Spirit puts you
within a household of faith, he has given grace to the father of that household
to dispense the grace of God to you through the word of God. This is how the fathers of the household feed
the sheep or the sons of God within their care.
Peace, Love and
Grace from the Father,
