Genesis 8:20-22
(Gen 8:20-22 NLT) 20. Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose. 21. And the LORD was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things. 22. As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”
The first altar in the Bible was built by Noah, immediately after the flood. Everything on the face of the earth has been destroyed with the exception of Noah, his family and all the animals that were with him in the ark. When Noah came out of the ark, rather than thinking of how to start afresh, he built an altar, and offered to the Lord the animals that have been approved for that purpose. Considering this fact, we could call this altar the altar of approval.
God’s response to the activity at this altar, also goes on to highlight the concept of divine approval. The Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice from the altar, and He started speaking. God said “I will never again curse the ground because of human race” the curse was reversed. He said, “I will never again destroy all living things” and then He released the blessing upon Noah and his descendants. (Genesis 8:21-23; 9:1-17).
The altar of approval, can never cease from speaking divine approval for God’s people. When the altar of approval is speaking in your life, you will enjoy approval, wherever you go. When eye sees you, it blessings you, when ear hears you, it approves you. It is with this understanding that we shall be engaging the altar of approval, over January 2022.
