THE SIN OFFERING

-

Leviticus 6:22a,25a

In each generation, the high priest who succeeds Aaron must prepare this same offering.

“Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the sin offering. 


1John 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:


The books of the law had comprehensive offences and repercussions for errs. They only needed to refer the matter to the elders and teachers of the law then verdict was taken. However:


Then the truth about God's law was revealed!


Psalm 4:4

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.


Psalm 78:37

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.


The Lord looked at the heart, what is the intent!


Matthew 5:27-28

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


Matthew 5:8

Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.


Matthew 15:18

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.


1 Peter 3:4

But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.


Now the issue was not just the action but the intention of the heart. This was the root of the sin. The content of the heart proceeded the sin!


They were like "what is this man saying?"


John 8:5-7

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.


Hebrews 2:17

Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things

[pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.


Hebrews 7:28

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.


Thus making Christ the only one who is the high priest over all. The lineage of priesthood ended with Christ, then He made us all priests.


1 Peter 2:9

But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:


So Christ coming, death and resurrection was the full fulfillment of the Lord. He became the only High priest, who Himself paid for the sins of man.


Thus we cannot live anyhow, we are not made to sin. However if we do err, we have the direct access to the heavenly Father to seek forgiveness and to go to sin no more. Not to a man, no matter what title they carry. Selah


Yes we seek our leaders for help, counsel and direction but we remember whom really we account to. It is in the Lord our heart should submit to, in love that we do not sin against Him.


May the Lord strengthen and help our Clergy and leaders, may they be strong at all times to fulfil their role. Amen.


Has anyone or any sin trapped you, who has labelled you? Be set free by the liberty we have in Yeshua HaMaschiac, Jesus the Christ, we are NOT to live in sin, however we do not owe man but God. Let no one make himself/herself God over you in judgement.


This said, if we continue in sin, we have no right with the brethren. We have chosen a path, we don't come pollute the gathering of the saints.


1Corinthians 5:11-13

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.


The issue of what is, and what is not sin lies with the Heavenly Father, cause Yahweh has the final say. However there is repercussion for every action and God is not a respecter of persons. The church yet has its role!


MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT HELP US GET IT RIGHT!


Romans 6:14

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.


We are His offspring, if He is pure, we should be too.


WE SHOULD FOCUS OUR MIND AND ENERGY ON OUR NEW NATURE.


2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


Sin will distract you from your assignment, and hinder or delay your destiny! Don't fall for it!


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


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...

WHEN YOU HAVE KEPT ALL THE LAWS

-
(please read with understanding this message has been kept for days but had to be published now after Sunday's programme in GC) Luke 18:21-22 And he said, "All these I have kept from my youth."  So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." So when Jesus heard the man say he had kept all the law he did not oppose him. He simply told him to let go of all he had and follow him. Goodbye to slavery of the law, welcome to the fulfilment of the law in Christ Jesus. We cannot get to a point when we say, we have known it all. Most church denominations at this time, even the orthodox, have adopted the selective law syndrome. Where, they or will I say we, have decided to select some parts of the law and discard others, especially when it entails things that have to do with money and physical practices. When a certain...

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...
