#NEW_THING__NEW_ALTAR

“And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob… and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD.” — 1 Kings 18:31–32 (KJV)

🔥 #EXHORTATION

          Good morning, beloved.

          Every new move of God begins with a new altar. Before God sends fire, He restores the altar. Before heaven responds, God repositions the place of sacrifice, worship, and covenant.

          An altar is not just a structure—it is a spiritual platform of encounter, authority, and transaction. When Elijah rebuilt the broken altar, he was declaring that Israel’s connection to God was being restored, not revised.

          A new altar represents: 

■ restoration of divine alignment

■ renewal of covenant and intimacy with God

■ separation from idolatry and compromise

■ a platform for fresh fire and divine response

          Beloved, God is calling you in this season to build a new altar. Not the altar of convenience, but the altar of consecration. Not the altar of routine, but the altar of fresh surrender.

          Before God changes your story, He changes your posture. Before He sends the fire, He restores the altar. This season, your new thing begins with a new altar.
