The Oasis Vision

I Chronicles 16:28-29 - “Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,
       ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, 29 ascribe to the LORD the glory due

His name. Bring an offering and come before Him; worship the LORD

 in the splendor of His  holiness.?

I.    VISION requires Focus  and  Prayer   

I Chronicles 22:1 “Then David said, "The house of the LORD God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel."

II. VISION requires  Devotion 

I Chronicles 22:19, 28:9  “Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the   LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD." ….."And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.?

III. VISION Requires Generous Giving 

I Chronicles 29:2-3 – “With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God—gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble—all of these in large quantities. Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I    have provided for this holy temple;?
