Good morning people of God, hope you had a restful weekend? Am always excited whenever am writing my insights from the word of God and I do not take it for granted the privilege God has given me to have access to the divine understanding of His words. Today is another special day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Today's reading is taken from Numbers 18:1-end and the memory verse is Isaiah 49:24-25 "Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus said the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away; and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children." Hallelujah!
In today's reading we see that after the Lord has confirmed to the children of Israel that He called Aaron to His service, He put Aaron in charge of the tribe of Levi to bear iniquity in connection to the sanctuary and to bear iniquity in connection with his priesthood. God also gave Aaron his portion which is the tithe and whatever is kept of the offering made to God. We can see that in God's service, there is responsibility to be fulfilled and compensation to be received.
Our memory verse is the most exciting part of my message today, the Lord's deliverance, one will wonder why this message this morning? This message is important to me because in life we sometimes think we are not knowing that we are in bondage and needs deliverance and the reality of life is that life is a struggle, either you are pursuing something or something is after you. In most cases we are held down but still think all is well. Our memory verse today clearly states two types of captives; they are the prey of the mighty and the lawful captive.
The good news therefore is that the Lord said whether you are the prey of the mighty or a lawful captive He will contend with him that contend with you.
Being the prey of the mighty simply implies that you do not have to offend anyone for them to be after you, they are after you just because they feel they can crush you and so they go for it. On the other hand the lawful captive is the one who has knowingly or unknowingly given the enemy reason or legal grounds to be after you. The Bible says the devil is like a roaring lion always looking for whom to devour and his strategy for achieving that is by watching out for when one sins and use that as a legal ground to destroy the person.
We therefore have to be careful not to give the enemy the legal ground to destroy us while we rest in the Lord's assurance to contend with them that contend with us.
Till I come your way again, remain delivered.
