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

James 1: 17, 18 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 

Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.

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

Hallelujah 

If we, the bride, the church wants to attain inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, we must offer ourselves as an offering pleasing to the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church through Christ we should receive the anointing and be as those who do the work of the Lord.

Also, next what we are meditating is that Numbers 18: 9 – 12 This shall be yours of the most holy things reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering and every sin offering and every trespass offering which they render to Me, shall be most holy for you and your sons. 

In a most holy place you shall eat it; every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.

“This also is yours: the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them to you, and your sons and daughters with you, as an ordinance forever. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.

“All the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and the grain, their first fruits which they offer to the Lord, I have given them to you.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, we, who were in many many tribes through his anointing he made us one tribe and has chosen us. But the Lord is telling Aaron this shall be yours of the most holy things reserved from the fire which means every offering of theirs, every grain offering and every sin offering and every trespass offering which they render to Me, shall be most holy for you and your sons and it is said regarding the offerings offering to the Lord.

In a most holy place, they shall eat it. It is written that the offering that is being offered to the Lord should be eaten by the priest. That is, our Lord Jesus Christ will be the priest and the high priest within us forever and through the offerings that we offer unto him and this is a pattern of him accepting us towards him. Also, every male shall eat it and the explanation regarding this is that if we attain fullness of knowledge regarding God as an image of the firstborn Son, he is showing us as a pattern. Such kind of people are holy unto the Lord and God is showing this.

Also, the children of Israel must offer wave offerings to the Lord means that we must offer ourselves as a living offering and the significance regarding this is that our soul should have received life. This is because God accepts a living offering. It is written that everyone who is clean may eat it. The person who is eligible to eat in this manner is our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who give offering to God in this manner their first fruits all the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and the grain, belongs to Aaron the priest says the Lord.

All the above-mentioned things he is showing as a pattern to our Lord Jesus Christ. Regarding this, the things that the Lord has said is that Jeremiah 31: 4 – 14 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.

You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; The planters shall plant and eat them as ordinary food.

For there shall be a day when the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.’”

For thus says the Lord: “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘O Lord, save Your people, The remnant of Israel!’

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and the one who labours with child, together; a great throng shall return there.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.

“Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’

For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.

Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord— for wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all.

“Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; For I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow.

I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.”

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned words, he is telling how we should follow God and if we follow in this manner God will redeem our soul from captivity and is saying that he is blessing it. In this manner, with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, God is blessing us. That is, with the wheat that God is giving us, wine, and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd and such kind of goodness God is blessing us.

That is why, Numbers 18: 13 Whatever first ripe fruit is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it. In these verses, he is showing the Holy Spirit, who is the bride. In this manner, those who have received the anointing of the Holy Spirit Christ is gathering towards himself. 

My dear people, when we meditate upon these words of God, we must think what kind of offerings we must offer to God and we must change ourselves according to God and we must offer ourselves as an offering that is pleasing to him. That is why, the word of God says Ephesians 5: 1, 2 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

If we make ourselves steadfast by the above-mentioned words, we will be able to inherit the kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of Christ. In this manner, let us all submit ourselves as an offering pleasing to the Lord.

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