NOT FOR THE SLOTHFUL.
You know the book of Leviticus? It is one of those books that tries to check your resolve to read your Bible cover to cover each year. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. After all we see from scripture that while Moses finished building the tabernacle, King Solomon finished building the temple. We are finishers of good projects in Jesus name.
Three chapters into the book of Leviticus recently, it dawned on me that the priesthood was not meant for the slothful. So many assignments were given to Aaron and his sons that I began to wonder if they ever had time to sit down in the day. Thank God for the Sabbath day of rest.
What were Aaron and his sons busy doing in their time? Two major things – Blessing God’s people and offering sacrifices on their behalf. That is why in Numbers 6, the Lord told Moses to instruct Aaron on how to bless His people.
1 Peter 2:9 calls us royal priests among other things. Revelation 1:6 stretches it further by saying – And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his father.
As New Covenant priests, we have equally been called to bless our world and to render sacrifices unto our God. That is why it must not be said that a child of God curses people. It must equally not be said that as New Covenant priests, that our hearts are destitute of songs and praises unto our God. Lastly, as New Covenant priests, may it never be said that we are not sacrificial with our giving to our God. When we understood our position as priests in the New Covenant, every argument about tithing ceases. That is why I believe that Pastors should get copies of THE KINGDOM WOMAN for their members. Revelation will always lead to transformation. Remember once again that the priesthood was never meant for the slothful.
Have a favour filled week.Ngozi Okure.
