Don’t despise the wait and don’t be upset when God says wait. His grace is sufficient for you during the wait and HE has sent our ministering angels and men to go bring what we need (our blessings). Sit when God says sit and move when HE says move.

Numbers 9:8 and 21-23
8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”

21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out.
22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out.
23 At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command through Moses.

I was shocked to re-realize this verse of scripture. Our God actually desires for us to retire at 50 after on working 25 years. Ain’t God good? If that is not a blessing to desire for, I wonder what is. Somehow, I missed this when I read this in the past, but it sure stood out for me today. If this is your desire, if you’re not already 50 (lol snicker snicker), it’s not a bad thing to hope for. And who said there’s no retirement for people doing God’s work? I know this says it applies to the Levite’s, but didn’t God say we were His priests and kings in Rev. 1:6 and 5:10

Numbers 8:23-26
23 The Lord said to Moses,
24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,
25 but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer.
26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.

What type of offering are you bringing to the Lord each day? As children of God we are each leaders in one aspect of life or the other so we are expected to set a good example with all we do and the offerings we give to God. Don’t fret as I honestly believe this is more than just money we give in church. What other things can you give that is sacrificial and pleasing to God?

Please read Numbers 7
Ephesians 5:2
New International Version
2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

New Living Translation
2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

Our God cares for us so much that HE pays attention to the smallest details about us. In Numbers chapters 1 to 4 HE called for a census of Israel over and over again and apportioned each tribe their purpose and duties. In chapter 5 HE specifically focused on the purity of Israel and restitution of wrongs since HE wanted every person pure and their hearts right towards each other forgiving one another. Then in chapter 6 HE commands and gives the priestly blessing to be spoken over the lives of HIS people. From all of these chapters, we can deduce how God wants us to live, an idea of what we should be doing and clearly what we should say and pray to our family and/or brethren. Please today, decide to always speak these blessings over the lives of your family and brethren.

Numbers 6:22-27 The Priestly Blessing
22 The Lord said to Moses,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24“‘“The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you
26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’
27 “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

We will walk with our heads held high! God, our Father, will make sure of this. Start now to look up to the hills where our help comes from. Our help comes from God Psalm 121

Leviticus 26:13

13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

Continuing the declaration of His blessings over us (His blessings are overflowing and never ending), God says

Leviticus 26:11-12
11 I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.

Here’s what God is saying today as a continuation from our last verse in 2014. And it is not a coincidence that my mother in Nigeria shared this prayer with at the time this was written (how awesome is our God? Very awesome). From my Mom = Today, you will experience unprecedented favor upon your life & God will place the right people to help you at the right place & time in the Name of Jesus.

God’s word Leviticus 26:9-10
9 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.
10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.

Celebrate Our Lord Jesus!

Good News and Good Tidings to all men.

Christ born and now grown up and exalted on God’s right hand as King of all kings is the reason we live and must celebrate Him everyday.

May Peace, Joy, Love, Laughter, Mercy and Grace be yours to enjoy and give to others today and always in Jesus name, Amen.

Good morning, previously I shared God’s blessings for us. But wait, there’s more

Leviticus 26:6-8

6 “ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country.

7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.

8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

The reward for obedience (continued); ain’t God good?

Leviticus 26:1-5
1 “‘Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.
2 “‘Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
3 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands,
4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.
5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
