The Covenant Box - The presence of the Lord
God gave Moses an order – to make a box and cover it with pure gold and also put inside it the 2 tablets with his commandments.
Exodus 25:10, 11, 22
There, in the presence of the Covenant box, he would come and talk to Moses and teach him everything He wanted them to follow
The Covenant Box means the presence of God.
This is the place where God comes to talk to you, to talk to you, to heal you and to perform His miracles.
They couldn’t come into His presence by anyway. They should obey some rules. Leviticus 16:2
First: They should bring an offering:
For their sins (Aaron and his family)
For the people.

They couldn’t enter to His presence dirty
What did The Covenant Box mean for
Victory - They won battles with its presence.
The presence of miracles… they crossed the
The Covenant Box was in front of them, carried by the priest and they were following in a distance (1Km far).
When they didn’t have the presence of the Lord everything was wrong, they lost wars, people died. I Samuel 4:2-3

The Philistines took the Covenant Box to their god’s temple and many problems came to them…
God can’t inhabit a temple not built for Him. You can’t place God at any place you wish. They place prepared to God to live is in your heart
He blesses the place where his presence is…
Obede Edon’s house was blessed and all his family and business… everybody could see...
Every time
We can’t go well without God’s presence
We have to cultivate it in our lives. How can we do it today?
We can have the presence of god with us today.
John 1: 14: The word became human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory that he received as the Father’s only son.
What shall we do then, to have the presence of God in us?
First: Understand that without Jesus you are separated from God.
Romans 3: 23 – Sin separate man form God
Second: Ask Him to clean you... I John 1:9
Confess your sins to be cleaned
Third. Repent and turn away of your sins.
Fourth: Invite him to enter your life: Revelations 3:20
Fifth - If you do it he will come to you Acts 3:19-20
He said he wouldn’t leave us alone. John 14:18
He will guide us. John 14:26
He will keep his promises – John 14:23 - I John 4:15
Be blessed …
In Jesus
