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

Psalms 66: 14, 15 I will pay You my vows, which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.

I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, with the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

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

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church in our everyday life we should receive grace in our soul and should attain continuous growth.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we, the bride, the church cannot see God without holiness. That is, if a person with unclean life thinks to see God, then God makes him to go backwards and fall down by submitting him in the hands of the enemy and delivers him and we meditated regarding this.

But next today the thing what we are going to meditate upon is Numbers 15: 1 – 5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, 

and you make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock, 

then he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil; 

and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.

In these verses, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, what you should speak to the children of Israel, is that: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, if you want to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock, then he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil; you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.

What this signifies is that we must receive our Lord Jesus Christ as our personal saviour through the words of God and to be cleansed by his blood and our whole heart, whole soul and whole mind along with his word, along with Jesus we must break our whole soul and when we confess all our sin, iniquity, transgression then his blood, which is the word of God when it washes and cleanses us, within  us as a new creation our soul rises up along with the life of Christ. Then we will be united along with the body of Christ, the church and if we are those who offer sacrifice everyday to the Lord then that will be as a special vow and we must offer the offering of praise with free will also the day when he made us holy we must keep it in our soul everyday and for our soul by the verses which God gives, which is his manna and along with that the oil that he gives mixed together as flour our soul should be submitted as a grain offering.

Next one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering should be offered. That is, the word that the Lord gives us because it is filled with grace when we accept it in our soul, along with the growth in our soul from it grace will continue to increase. That grace, because it increases in our soul when we come in the presence of the Lord and only when we submit our soul along with it to the Lord, then the Lord accepts it.

In this manner, if the Lord accepts our soul then again, our soul will attain growth. God is saying that as a lamb. Regarding them, God’s word is that Numbers 15: 6 – 11 Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil; 

and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord. 

And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord, 

then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 

and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

 ‘Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat.

In these verses, when we submit ourselves to God everyday according to the growth of our soul, according to the sacrifices which should be offered to the Lord we must offer without any blemish. That is, when we are as a lamb, one-tenth of an ephah and when it grows as a ram two-tenths of an ephah also fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil means that when our soul grows as a ram in one-third portion of a hin of oil fine flour is mixed as the grain offering and one-fourth of a hin of wine and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord.

But next, in spiritual growth of our life when we submit ourselves to the Lord when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord, then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

The facts regarding this is that all these we must grow everyday in the grace of God and when we submit ourselves before God, we must submit ourselves along with grace needed for it. In this manner, each one of us must analyze and know the growth of our soul and submit ourselves.

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