(Joshua 8:30-32 KJV) 30 “At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the Lord God of Israel. 31 He built an altar with uncut stones on which no iron chisels had been used. This was as the Lord’s servant Moses had commanded the people of Israel in the Book of Moses’ Teachings. They made burnt offerings to the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings on the altar. 32 There in front of the people of Israel he wrote on stone slabs a copy of the Teachings which Moses had written down”
The altar Joshua raised after Israel’s victory over Ai, represented Israel’s restored fellowship with the Lord. Achan committed disloyalty against the Lord, with regards to the accursed things; thus the Lord was angry with the children of Israel. Consequently, when Israel went to battle against Ai, Israel was defeated. This came as a total surprise to Joshua and the elders of Israel. So, Joshua sought God’s face and discovered that Achan has tampered with things dedicated to God; as such God’s presence was withdrawn from among His people. The Lord told Joshua, that His presence will no longer be with Israel, unless the accursed are destroyed.
Achan and his household were judged according to God’s command, and God’s presence was restored. After this, Israel moblilized themselves against Ai for the second time, defeated and destoryed Ai completely. When they returned with victory, Joshua raised an altar unto the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offering on the altar. When the altar of fellowship was violated, the presence of God was withdrawn from Israel, but when the altar was restored, God’s presence was restored. The altar of fellowship secures God’s presence and partnership in the affairs of men and women. For this fact, we are raising the altar of fellowship over the month of July 2022; declaring that our fellowship with God shall remain unbroken throughout 2022, in Jesus’ name.
