Day 56
Reading: Deut. 16:1- Deut. 19:21
Growth will always bring change. How you respond to change will determine the results you see. When the Passover was instituted the animal was slaughtered within each home. This is changed to now having the aminal sacrificed at the place where God's house would be located. This change was to ensure that focus on the Tabernacle was maintained as His Presence was there. The test of commitment was what the children of Israel faced. Don't allow distance to stop you from having divine encounters with God.
When we appear before God we are to bring an offering. Never appear before God empty. Bring a sacrifice of praise. Take an offering of thanksgiving to Your Maker. Give generously to the Most High. Take an offering from your sweat and give back to God. To appear empty before God is ingratitude. Ensure that what you give to God is not blemished. I once heard a story of a thief taking his offering to God and asking for God's blessing. Certainly, God doesn't bless what is not gained lawfully.
God set up a justice system where judges were to attend to the people using the Law. However, if no judgement could be made in a matter where blood had been shed the parties would seek God's mind. How I long for the days where the world will seek God's mind for the issues that afflict the world?
God can see where I cannot see. In giving the Law God also spoke of how kings would be chosen. The King that would rule over the people by the Law. The king was expected to write and read the Law so that he didn't miss the will and mind of God. By what standards do you govern your life, business, marriage, or career by?
Charles, understand that God is Your Portion. Walk as a priest with the awareness that God is Your Portion. This portion of inheritance from God is heavenly. Seek for the manifestation of God's portion in your life. You were not called to be a shame. God called you and me to show forth His glory.
The test of the prophet is whether what they say comes to pass. God assured the people that He would raise a Prophet for them in the land. There is a consequence for not obeying the revealed Word and that begins with God requiring justice for disobedience.
Don't remove the landmark of your neighbour. We have a responsibility to keep boundaries as they are. Don't be involved in any deal that will move the 'contractual landmarks' away from what they were.
A matter is established by two or three witnesses. Learn to seek two promises in the Bible to be witnesses of the promises of God in any matter you present to God. One witness is not enough for justice to prevail. Every false witness faced death in the Law. Lord remove every witness speaking against my life.
Memory Verse: Deut. 16:17
Decree:
Lord, I love You. I yield my all to You. I bring a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to You. Lord, without You I am nothing. I surrender my all to You. Let Your glory flood my life. Lord, use me to enlarge Your Kingdom. I walk uprightly before all and bring glory and honour to You alone in Jesus name. Amen.
