(Gen 35:1-3, 6-7 KJV) “And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3. And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. …6. So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him. 7. And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.”
There are altars connected to Jacob’s life, one of such altars is the one he built at Bethel. The Lord specifically instructed Jacob to go back to Bethel, to dwell and make there an altar unto Him. Having received the instruction from God, he communicated with his household, about the plan to move to Bethel. Jacob said, “…let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress…” From Jacob’s description of the altar, it is an altar unto the God, who answered him in time of distress simply put, the altar of answer.
Since all altars answer after their names, the altar of answer will always secure favourably responses to inquiries and demands. The supervising agent behind the altar of answer, gurarantees timely and supernatural responses to supplication and petition made at the altar. The scripture says, “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” (Isa 65:24 KJV). When the altar of answer is speaking in the life of a man, he cannot labour in vain. Jacob’s twenty years of labour in Laban’s house would have ended in vain, except for the operation of the altar of answer. It is from this understanding, that we are raising an altar of answer over the month of May 2022; let the altar of answer prevail over our lives, families and activities in 2022, in Jesus’ name.
