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

Galatians 4: 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

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

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church we should be as joint heirs of Christ.

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, our soul should not work with profane fire, but we must be as those who are filled with holy fire and that those who brought profane fire in the presence of the Lord died.

Next what we are meditating is that Numbers 27: 1- 12 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 

And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying: 

“Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 

Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”

So Moses brought their case before the Lord.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 

And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 

If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 

If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 

And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’” And it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

Now the Lord said to Moses: “Go up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned words from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; daughters from the fourth generation: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah came and they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying: “Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. Therefore they said that, so that the name of our father is not removed from among his family give us a possession among our father’s brothers.

So Moses brought their case before the Lord. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. Also, God is telling the most important a statute of judgment to speak to the children of Israel, saying: That is, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’” And this is the law of God.

After God had told all these laws to Moses; “Go up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered. Also, God is explaining and showing that for daughters there is possession. That is, regarding this what God is telling is that Galatians 3: 26 – 29 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned words, God is telling that all those who have put on Christ will be one and there will not be any caste, religion, tribe differences neither male nor female and everyone will be one in Christ. This is because all of us in Christ are heirs. God has shown this as a pattern and he is showing this through Moses and is telling this regarding the daughters of Zelophehad.

Therefore, what many people say that for women (daughters) there is no possession, that is ministry in the church are wrong facts. The reason for that is in everyone of our soul, only Christ is rising up and is doing the work of the Lord and not us and we must think regarding this. But in the Old Testament, what is written as men is a pattern. That is, God is saying that whether male or female we must become perfect men.

Therefore, my dear people let us all submit ourselves to become joint heirs along with Christ.

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