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

Hebrews 12: 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 

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

Hallelujah

How to serve God acceptably?

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated that if we will walk in the path of righteousness we will get the path of peace. The fruit of righteousness is the tree of life. That tree is our Lord Jesus Christ. He will lead us in the path of righteousness. Proverbs 12: 28 In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway, there is no death.

For us to get this kind of path of peace we must be consecrated for God. For that only he showed Aaron and his sons as a pattern and they are being consecrated. Later, our Lord Jesus Christ is being consecrated for us within us. All of us must come forward to get such a blessed life.

Exodus 29: 30 That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place.

“And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in the holy place. 

Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 

They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.

My dear people, if we are consecrated in God’s presence and if we want to live forever in quietness and peace, we must safeguard the garment that God has given us every day. We must safeguard ourselves so that we do not get stuck in the net of Satan. Our soul should be united along with the life of Christ, and Christ’s life living in us, is our soul which is the ram.

That ram should be boiled in the holy place (church of Christ). Boiling means preparing and making it ready. Then according to the word of God if we will make ourselves holy, we will be able to eat the fruit of our soul. The fruit of the soul will be peace and joy.

The soul, that has been created should be sanctified again, consecrated and should function in every matter in this manner.

Exodus 29: 34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

My dear people, the above-mentioned verse what it shows as a pattern is that the flesh of Christ is consecrated for us, beaten and then we must eat that flesh. But the flesh and the bread should not be kept remaining till morning and God is explaining and showing that.

When we meditate on this verse, if we eat the flesh of Christ, we must eat it only in the night. An outsider should not eat that. Outsider means those who have not submitted their body, soul and spirit completely and not consecrated it. In this manner, it is written that an outsider should not eat it.

Exodus 29: 35 – 37 “Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Seven days you shall consecrate them. 

And you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it. 

Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar must be holy.

For our heart, the altar to function as Christ, the above-mentioned words of God are being shown as a pattern. After we have eaten the fruit of our soul, for seven more days we must consecrate ourselves.  Then every day we must offer praise offering to God and we must cleanse ourselves. We must cleanse ourselves daily for the atonement of our sins. When we cleanse in this manner, our heart, which is the altar (Christ) is being made holy by the anointing of God.

In this manner, seven days we must make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. Making atonement for the altar means we must safeguard ourselves by not entering into any evil deeds. If we will live in this manner, that altar will be most holy. We must realize that altar is a pattern of Christ. God is showing us as a pattern that we must submit our lives in this manner to God.

Then every day without any gap we must offer sacrifice to God in our heart and we must serve God in the altar. Then it will be a worship that is acceptable to God. Let us all submit to God in this manner.

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