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!

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
