Choice? Numbers 17

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3Mar15-NUM 17 l The Feast l May 7_2012 Numbers 17 Dear Saints, This today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Numbers 17. Today’s Feast causes me some curiosity in verses 1-7 It is another instance of the grace of God, in which, he performs another miracle to avoid penalties for sin. Twelve rods were brought in. They were the staves which the princes used as ensigns of their authority; old and dry they were devoid of sap. Which ever tribe in his grace God chose to be in the priesthood, their staff would bud and blossom. Moses didn’t object to the matter he left it up to the Lord. “8 On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff. 10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Put back the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.” 11 Thus did Moses; as the Lord commanded him, so he did.” Numbers 17:8-11, English Standard Version (ESV). This was a clear sign that God chose the priests that were to serve him. Listen Saint, did you know that you were chosen by God? When Jesus was referring to the Saints that are saved he said; “11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.” John 17:11-13, ESV. This description is for all who believe in faith. That’s right saint you are God’s gift given to Jesus! This is just another reason we keep salvation through the blood of the Lamb as issue number one. We are supposed to share God’s love with every person. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. I’m not educated nor am I a Theologian so if I’m mistaken in the Feast or you want something added or changed on the prayer list http://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html. please write mlitew8@yahoo.com. To correspond with a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast tomorrow. God chose you do you choose God? You are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your relationship with God? If you want to be sure, turn from sin and just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strives to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent (turn from sin) and accept Jesus.
