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

Hebrews 3: 6 But Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

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

Hallelujah

Let us the bride, the church be consecrated as the house of God

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, God is telling that the bride, the church should worship God with holiness and any kind of abominations or defiled things should not be there in our soul and if we offer worship with these kinds of abominations they will not be among Israel and will be cut off. God is telling Moses the priesthood of the church is shown as a pattern to Christ and he is calling Aaron and his sons Leviticus 8: 2, 3 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 

and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.”

What is written in these verses is that Christ is the priest, and this is shown as a pattern and regarding what all foundations should Israel, the church stand up with in Leviticus 8: 6 – 12 Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 

And he put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. 

Then he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. 

And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Also, Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. 

He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them. 

And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

When we meditate upon these verses those who have the priesthood should be those who have received baptism by water. The inner man should be strengthened. Truth, which is the sash should be tied. Robe is put on (putting on Christ) and we are able to understand that this is a pattern of the Holy Spirit convicting us of sin, of righteousness and of judgement.

Also, the turban on his head and on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown. The explanation of these one by one we meditated regarding these past few days back. Then it is written, and it shows the Holy Spirit, the bride. Then it is written how we, the bride, the church should submit ourselves to change into the dwelling place that God dwells in and all the parts of our body should be submitted to God and only if God will accept us, we can be consecrated for God.

Regarding that only in Leviticus 8: 15 – 22 and Moses killed it. Then he took the blood and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

Then he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. 

But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then he brought the ram as the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 

and Moses killed it. Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. 

And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. 

Then he washed the entrails and the legs in water. And Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

The above-mentioned verses show us how we are consecrating ourselves for God. If God accepts our consecration, he will bless us. Then we will change into the house of God. Let us submit ourselves.

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