“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Acts 2: 46, 47 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 

praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

The Bride, the church should definitely gather together as a church

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, God is telling Moses that the children of Israel should safeguard the vow of the Nazirite and when they take the vow God put certain important laws but those who are of this world, though they followed the vow of the Nazirite, everyone fell down but God, the Christ of Nazareth till he manifested in the world, he is showing the vow of the Nazirite in the midst of the children of Israel as a pattern and also our Lord God through the prophet Jeremiah the thing that he said through the Holy Spirit he manifested in the virgin and he is being manifested in the city of Nazareth. Therefore, anyone born in sin cannot become a Nazirite and we meditated regarding this in the past days.

But today the thing that we are going to meditate is Numbers 7: 1 – 5 Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. 

Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over those who were numbered, made an offering. 

And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 

“Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Moses set up the tabernacle and he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; and it is written that on the day that he finished it because he is showing it as a pattern to Christ. That is tabernacle means John 14: 2, 3 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

When we meditate upon this, tabernacle shows the Holy Spirit. Regarding him, it is also said as the Spirit of Truth, who is the Comforter. Regarding that John 14: 15 – 21 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 

I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 

At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Also, altar means our Christ (place of worship). Altar means the place where sacrifice is offered. Our Lamb, who is Christ was sacrificed, then later resurrected and as the Holy Spirit dwells within us and makes us holy and to live within us forever he is appearing in us as the Spirit of Truth, who is the Comforter. 

Also, to offer the offering to God they brought it to the front of the tabernacle. The offering that they brought was six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle. What this signifies is submitting ourselves as an offering. Numbers 7: 6 – 11 So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 

Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; 

and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 

But to the sons of Kohath, he gave none, because theirs was the service of the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders.

Now the leaders offered the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so, the leaders offered their offering before the altar. 

For the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”

The fact regarding the above-mentioned verses is that under Christ it shows the gathering of the church. Therefore, my dear people all of us should not leave the gathering of the church. Those who leave the gathering of the church Hebrews 10: 24 – 29 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 

Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

Therefore, let us all submit for the gathering of the church.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
