Good day friends, how is your day going? Hope all is well. I must apologize for the lateness of today's post, I pray and promise this doesn't happen again. My mission with this blog post is to encourage my readers to start every day with the word of God and divine understanding so God willing this will not repeat itself.
Today's message came as an advice and also a warning. Our Bible passage for today is Numbers 19:1-end and our memory verse is from Leviticus 19:19 "Yeah shall keep my statues, thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee."
To be contaminated means to be defiled, to be polluted, to be corrupted. In simple English to be contaminated means to be made bad. There are different ways something or someone can be contaminated and the most popular method is exposure. There is a popular adage that says "birds of the same feather flock together" in retrospect when a bird that is not of the same feather appears it somehow conforms to being of the same feather with every other bird so that they can flock together.
In our Bible reading today, God took time to explain the process of purification and warned in verse 22 of that chapter that "and whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean", little wonder as a kid my mum will always warn me to be careful the company I keep.
Our memory verse is another commandment of God to the children of Israel regarding how they associate with the people inhabiting the promised land. These people God knows them too well and their being idolaters even when God gave them the opportunity of living with Abraham and witnessing the relationship Abraham had with God, they did not change and turned to God, they remained evil. It is obvious that if the children of Israel mingled with them freely they would have somehow managed to corrupt them (Israelites) and God doesn't want that for His people.
Today we have the likes of the Amorites, Jebusites, Philistines among us, they do not see evil for what it is. They enjoy doing things the wrong way, they are making conscious effort to get everyone be like them and God is commanding us just like He did with the Israelites to avoid mingling with them so that we are not contaminated.
The grace of God be with us as we ensure to be away from being contaminated in Jesus name Amen.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed.
