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

Psalms 115: 12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;

He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

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

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church should speak only the words that God gives in our mouth.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that if we, the bride, the church if God reveal our sin, iniquity and these things, we must reconcile with God and if we will humble ourselves and reconcile ourselves, then God is the once who will reveal to us the things that we must do.

But next the fact that we are meditating is that when God told Balaam that you must speak only the words that I speak to you; Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath Huzoth. Then Balak offered oxen and sheep, and he sent some to Balaam and to the princes who were with him. So, the next day morning Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might observe the extent of the people. The high place that Balaam climbed belonged to Baal. Numbers 23: 1 – 12 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”

And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height. 

And God met Balaam, and he said to Him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”

Then the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.” 

So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.

And he took up his oracle and said: “Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel!’

“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?

For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him; There! A people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations.

“Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number one-fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!”

Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!”

So he answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”

But he told Balak build seven altars and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams. And Balak did just that. And both of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar. Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go and come: perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height. 

And God met Balaam, and then he is telling him what he did for the Lord. Then the Lord put a word in his mouth, and said, return to Balak, and he is telling him what he must speak. So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab. 

And Balaam took up the oracle and said: “Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east and said ‘Come, curse Jacob for me and said come, denounce Israel!’ “How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced? For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him; There! A people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations. “Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number one-fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!”

Then Balak said to Balaam, I took you to curse my enemies, and when he said look, have blessed them bountifully! And Balaam said “Must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”

My dear people, Balak was the king of Moab. His aim was to curse Israel. The reason for this is that because there were a great number of Israelites if God curse them the Israelites will not win and will be defeated and due to this since he knew the work of God he is forcing Balaam and bringing him. But God’s aim was to bless and only bless Israel. 

Also, in each one of our soul if there is a thought that we must curse others because the deeds of our soul are evil, the deeds of Moab are within us and we must realize that and we must renew our salvation. Then our soul will be blessed by God. And the thought that we must bless others also will come. God has kept both blessing and curse before us. Those who obey God will be blessed. 

Let us all submit ourselves to possess such kind of blessing.

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