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

Psalms 119: 165 Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.

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

Hallelujah

The Path of Righteousness that leads us in the path of peace

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated regarding how we must receive the power of salvation. We also meditated regarding what kind of blessings the powerful anointing of salvation gives us. More than the perishable blessings of the world, we meditated regarding the blessing that does not perish, that is the eternal glorious decoration, which is the crown of gold which is put on the glorious Christ within us. For Christ who was crowned with a crown of thorns for us, when we possess the power of salvation, he is crowned with the crown of gold. We must receive such kind of life through Christ in holiness, in obedience, in fear and reverence and with patience

James 1: 1 – 4 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 

knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Also, in James 1: 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Revelation 2: 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

From this what we come to know is that if we must receive the crown of life we will come across many temptations. The example for that is our Lord Jesus Christ. He bears tribulations for us and is being revived. In the same way, if tribulations come, we must not fear and be weary, but we must bear the tribulations with patience and safeguard our holiness and we must receive the crown of life.

Isaiah 62: 2, 3 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name.

You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

My dear people, when we meditate upon the previous verses it is given regarding how Christ will shine within us and when all the Gentiles will see the glory of Christ within us. According to the walk of righteousness that we walk, our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified within us. Then it is written that we will be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

Then God is showing us that every day we must submit ourselves completely in the presence of God by showing Aaron and his sons as a pattern to us and we meditated regarding these verses in the past days. We saw how Aaron and his sons were made holy before God and as a pattern God gave us the new commandments, through Christ which are the teachings of Christ which gives us the powerful anointing of salvation and this blessing that God is blessing us with, for it to grow in our lives as eternal blessings we must follow it all every day.

Exodus 29: 24, 25 and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 

You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

My dear people, the spiritual blessings that we have received from God every day in the presence of God, we must wave them as a wave offering. The blessings that he has given in our hands should be in our souls. This is because we must not go to the presence of God empty handed.

Then, whatever we have received everything we must burn in the altar of God with fear.

We must offer everything to God, and we must consecrate ourselves for God.  When we consecrate in this manner, we must offer our body, soul and spirit completely to God.

Exodus 29: 27, 28 And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave offering which is raised, of that which is for Aaron and of that which is for his sons. 

It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever. For it is a heave offering; it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord.

When we consecrate ourselves for God, our whole heart, and in that heart, the thing that is kept importantly (Lord Jesus Christ) should make it holy.

1 Peter 3: 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

This is what we, in the presence of God shall be a heave offering from the sacrifices of the peace offerings that is, the heave offering to the Lord. If we walk in this manner, our soul will be in peace and when we speak, the God who is in us will give peace to others as well. Let us all submit ourselves in this manner to be blessed.

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