Place of Priesthood.


Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.
- 2 Chronicles 31:4.

The priests are God's representatives on the earth, God's portion belongs to them, in forms of tithes and offering as we see in verse 5, "and as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly."

 These encourages the Priest to focus only on God assignment, to mediate and to know God's plan and purpose and also for enforcing same.

What happens when the priests are discouraged? In Nehemiah 13:10 the scripture says,
"And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them : for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field."
So, when they are not encouraged, the Levite's and Priests sort out means for themselves. This then means that the work of God is suddenly set aside or left unattended to, because the Priests and Levites have fled to the field to sort out their own needs (this by no way means covetousness).

The enemy is bent on this tricks; so the Priest and Levites abandons their office or place of assignment, thereby creating room the enemy(Devil) to attack God's people.
This is a pointer to why there's so much attack on the subject of tithe and offering, to discourage the Priests and the Levites.

I know that some will say the office of the Priest is done away with. In Ephesians 4:11-12 the Bible says
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"
The office of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers of the Word, represent the office of Priesthood and are still very relevant today, and Jesus Christ being the High Priest forever.

Obviously there are fake Priests. But the reason for fake, is because there are genuine ones. We must allow the Holy Spirit lead us to our own God ordained Priest at every giving time so we don't fall victim in the hand of false prophets or anti-christs, thereby giving access for the devil and his agents to afflict us.

There are medium to protect and sustain the blessing of God upon our life, we can only access them by the help of the Holy Spirit.

Always remember the Devil will always try to negotiate you out of your place of protection and rest, so he can afflict you. If you heed, you become a victim.

My prayer for you is that you shall not fall for his traps, and that God will continues to protect you from evil, in Jesus name!

Have a fruitful week!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...
