Numbers Chapter 3
Our focus is The Book of Numbers Chapter 3 which tells of the Office of The Priests within the Tribe of Levi
Our Focus however will be Numbers 3:6-7
“Bring the Tribe of Levi near,and present them before Aaron the priest,that they may serve Him.
And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of the whole congregation before the Tabernacle of Meeting, TO DO THE WORK OF THE TABERNACLE”

REFLECTIONS
1. DIVINE PREROGATIVES
Certain Prerogatives resides ONLY with the Lord.
In Numbers 3 : 6-7, God in His Omnipotence, assigned the Service of The Tabernacle to the Tribe of Levi and the surviving Sons of Aaron as Priests.
Remarkably, the Sons of Moses were Not so assigned!
NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!
According to Hebrews 5:4,” And NO MAN rakes this honour to himself, but who is called by God, just as Aaron was”
NOTE!
All Priests are from the Tribe of Levi BUT not All Levis are Priests.
MAY WE BE FOUND WORTHY OF A HIGHER CALL INTO HIS SERVICE
Reflection 2
THE RIGHTEOUS GOD IS A REWARDER
An Important Character of Almighty God is that He takes care of His Own- He is NOT a careless Father/ Employer!!
Hence, The Lord specifically made provision for the Priests and expects us to accord our Leaders “DOUBLE HONOUR”
(1 Timothy 5:17)
In addition, God is a REWARDER of Those that diligently seek him.
(Hebrews 11:3)
Indeed, The Lord declared “I did Not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘seek me in vain’
( Isaiah 45:19)
A significant kind of Reward from Serving the Lord is through DIVINE HONOUR!
According to Jon 12:26, Our Lord & Saviour promised that ” If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: If any man served me, him will my Father honour.
AWESOME JESUS!
Reflections 3
PECULIAR PEOPLE & ROYAL PRIESTS!
The Good News is that in this DISPENSATION OF GRACE, believers in Jesus Christ “like LIVING STONES are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable through Jesus Christ.
Brethren, It is with great Excitement that I declare Today that we are “A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE!
Please let us continue to ” PROCLAIM THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED US OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT”
(1 Peter 2:9 NKJV)
THANK YOU JESUS!!!
PRAYER POINTS.
1. Father, I receive the Unction and capacity to function in the service of The Kingdom.
2. Father, thank you for the Privilege and the Reward of serving you.
3. Father, Your Praises shall NOT cease from our Mouths In Jesus Name.
Amen & Amen
