THE ORDINATION

-

Exodus 29:1a

“This is the ceremony you must follow when you consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests: 


Reading through Exodus 29, you see the various procedures that had to be done to ordinate the priests, Aaron and his sons.


All of the procedures have significances which I am not able to explain in this devotional. 


However, what we know is that Christ has fulfilled them all by paying a higher price that the blood of rams, bulls etc could not pay.


Anyone trying to return to this practice is actually wasting time because a better sacrifice has been offered, an everlasting sacrifice, which we have in Christ Jesus.


Isaiah 1:11-13

“What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?” says the Lord. 

“I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. 

I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

When you come to worship me, who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony?

Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts; the incense of your offerings disgusts me! 

As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath and your special days for fasting— 

they are all sinful and false. 

I want no more of your pious meetings.


God said this when the people kept sinning but yet come ceremonially to present again.


Don't we do the same today?


We come to church on Saturday or Sunday presenting ourselves with all the ceremonies but we go back and live as if we do not know God.


God is not mocked!


Christ settles all these by paying the price then bringing His Spirit into us so that we can live daily for God.


Are we doing this?


Are we really consecrated?


Let us get it right now.


We have a job to do for Him, we must be ready.


The time is ticking away.


Help us Good Lord.


Love

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

NEVER TAKE REVENGE!

-
Romans 12:19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge;I will pay them back,” says the lord. Offences would surely come as we continue our journey here on earth. One thing we must learn to do is never to act when we are angry. Almost one hundred percent of the time, if we reflect on it, we find that we regret our actions. It is not that we do not get angry, the bible teaches that even when we do, it should not lead us to sin. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: If an enemy hurts us, well what do we expect from an enemy. However betrayal is when a friend intentionally hurts us. Check it! What makes us think it is intentional? So better to talk about it than be silent! Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. If it hurts, then talk about it, it is always a wonder what we discover when we tal...
