FATHERS FINDING THE SECRET OF THE BLESSING OF GOD IN THEIR HOME
Scripture: I CHRONICLES 13:13-14
Fathers Finding The Secret Of The Blessing Of God In Their Home
Miles Seaborn
1 Chronicle 13:13-14
INTRO: The name Obed Edom is not your basic household word among Christians!
But in an examination of the life of this man, his dedication, his actions, his commitment, are found the secrets of the blessings of God.
For three months the Ark of the Covenant was placed in his home. The scripture simply tells us that Obed Edom, his household and everything that he had was blessed through that experience.
Now let's find a little background about this man who is mentioned several times in the word of God.
First, he was a Levite. 1 Ch. 26 and Verse 4 says that he had a responsibility in the temple, full time.
Second, he was from the city of Gath, which made him a Gathite and identified his background.
Third, the Bible says he was a gate keeper for the Ark in l Ch. 15:18 and Verse 24. In other words, they kept the wrong people out and let the right people in. The safety of the Ark of the Covenant later on and the ministry of the Jews was part of their responsibility.
Fourth, he was a talented musician. In 1 Ch. 15:20, it lists him as one of the men who were playing harps according to the direction of the head Levite.
He was like a hundred other men in the Bible, except God's word says a unique blessing rested upon him. He had found the secret of bringing the blessings of God to his home.
Now let's examine them this morning on Father's Day, and men, let’s take them into our hearts.

And with all joy and humility he sought to bring it to the city of God, Jerusalem. Very simply put, David chose to do it his way instead of God's way, and as a result the lives of men were lost. (Read and explain.)
You see, David's intentions were ...
