WHERE SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS

From an  essential perspective on our side , we realise that it is good to know and keep in view the specific location where we are supposed to bring our tithe.

The Israelites received direct commands from the Lord regarding the exact place they were required to take their tithes.

Bringing your tithe to a location that violates the Lord’s instructions will negatively impact your spiritual walk with Him.

The Lord did not instruct believers to give their tithes to friends.
The Lord did not instruct believers to give their tithes to orphans.

Tithes must be taken exclusively to the specific place that the Lord has chosen for His name to dwell.Deuteronomy 14:[25]Then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place [of worship] which the Lord your God has chosen.


Reflective questions about the teaching.

a) According to our instruction in view, were where the Israelites commanded to take their tithes?

b) Where have you been taking your tithe


c) What would be some of the significant lessons you learn in view as compared to our subject study

c) Have you been giving your tithe in full?

YOU CAN’T CURSE THOSE GOD HAS BLESSED

Attempts to curse those whom the Lord has blessed are pragmatically futile and will never succeed.The Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab and settled there for a period of time.King Balak of Moab did not want the Israelites residing in his territory so, He actively desired for the Israelites to be cursed rather than blessed.

To achieve his goal, King Balak summoned Balaam, who was recognized as a man of God.The king’s explicit purpose in calling Balaam was to have him place a curse on the Israelites.Numbers 22:5-6[5]Sent messengers to Balaam [a foreteller of events] son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the [Euphrates] River, even to the land of the children of his people, to say to him, There is a people come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth and they have settled down and dwell opposite me.[6]Now come, I beg of you, curse this people for me, for they are too powerful for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

King Balak was willing to offer any amount of money required to secure the curse against the people.
King Balak failed to realize that the Lord would not allow His people to be cursed.
The man hired to curse the Israelites ultimately ended up blessing them instead.

The teaching demonstrates that divine protection overrides human intentions to cause harm and Financial influence and royal power were ineffective in altering God’s favor.

The historical encounter took place specifically on the plains of Moab.
Balaam’s spiritual standing as a man of God was central to why he was sought after by the king and so the account serves as a practical illustration of the futility of opposing those blessed by God.
The ultimate outcome of the situation was the exact opposite of what King Balak had planned and paid for.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to our teaching in view, For what purpose did Balak king of Moab called Balam?

b) Did Balam eventually come to King Balak

c) Did Balam eventually bless the Israelites or curse them?

D) What would be some of the subjective lessons you learn in view to our reference of word

Confession prayer

Dear Lord am grateful for this teaching in view and that I will not curse all those that you have blessed in Jesus name Amen

MOSES PREPARES THE PEOPLE TO MEET WITH THE LORD

From perspective, We realize that meeting a national president naturally causes a person to prepare with great anticipation.
This anticipation typically includes dressing in one’s finest clothing.
This human preparation raises the question of how much more one should prepare to meet the LORD.

The LORD gave specific instructions to Moses regarding how to prepare the people for His arrival.Moses was commanded by the LORD to consecrate the people in anticipation of His arrival.Exodus 19:10-11[10]And the Lord said to Moses, Go and sanctify the people [set them apart for God] today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes[11]And be ready by the third day, for the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai [in the cloud] in the sight of all the people.

The preparation instructions included having the people wash their clothes.
The people were also instructed to abstain from sexual intercourse to prepare for the meeting.Moses obediently carried out all the preparation steps exactly as the LORD had instructed him.

The teaching emphasizes the immense importance of spiritual and physical preparation before meeting the LORD.

The instructions highlight that meeting the LORD requires a higher level of preparation than meeting earthly leaders.
Consecration was a fundamental requirement set by the LORD for His people.
Physical cleanliness, represented by washing clothes, was an essential part of the preparation process.Temporary self-denial, such as abstaining from intimate relations, was required for spiritual readiness so God’s servant Moses acted as the vital intermediary to ensure the people were properly prepared for the LORD’s arrival.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to our teaching in view, How did Moses prepare the people for the arrival of the Lord?

b) Did Moses prepare the people for the arrival of the Lord. Did He prepare the people to meet with the Lord?

c) What may be your anticipation of due as realised upon in this teaching

THE BIBLE PROHIBITS STEALING LAND

Recently I travelled with one of my relatives to a certain village where we have abit of land and as we traversed through our property, we realised that one of the people that was doing farming close to us had removed our boundary mark with a purpose of grabbing our land

So stealing other people’s land has become more common and normalized in modern times.

Land theft is a widespread issue occurring in both urban towns and rural villages.Individuals who steal land often do so without offering any apology or showing remorse for their actions.

The act of land theft is committed with a clear view and awareness of the wrongdoing so Historical and spiritual precedents show that the Israelites were explicitly cautioned against stealing land as they were preparing to settle in the land provided to them by the Lord.

The Lord specifically commanded the people not to remove established boundary markers that were originally set up by ancestors to clearly define their property as shown in the book of Deuteronomy 19:14
[14]You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark in the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess, which the men of old [the first dividers of the land] set.

So removing a neighbor’s landmark is framed as a direct violation of spiritual and community laws and that preservation of property boundaries is emphasized as a long-standing historical obligation

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Do we have people who steal other people’s land today?

b) What were the Israelites warned as they went to the land that the Lord has promised them?

c) What would be some of the lessons that you learn in view concerning to our concept study

d) According to purpose of due, what is that which is considered as a long standing historical obligation?

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful for the far reaching lessons that have learnt today about not stealing people’s land in Jesus name Amen

Blaspheming the name of the Lord with a curse

We must be extremely careful about what we say regarding the name of the Lord.

It is possible to blaspheme the name of the Lord with a curse without even realizing that you have done so.Many times, people blaspheme the name of the Lord with a curse but are completely unable to tell that they have blasphemed the name of the Lord with a curse

Blaspheming the name of the Lord with a curse is a very grievous act that carries eternal consequences.

The Bible contains a specific account of a man who blasphemed the name of the Lord with a curse.
Because this biblical figure blasphemed the name of the Lord, the Lord commanded that he be stoned to death and thus The command of the Lord was executed as it was said by the Lord , and the man was indeed stoned to death.Leviticus 24:10-14[10]Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Israelites, and he and a man of Israel quarreled and strove together in the camp.[11]The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name [of the Lord] and cursed. They brought him to Moses–his mother was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.[12]And they put him in custody until the will of the Lord might be declared to them.[13]And the Lord said to Moses,[14]Bring him who has cursed out of the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head; then let all the congregation stone him.

So we realise that the severity of the punishment highlights the gravity of speaking carelessly about the Lord’s name and that our awareness of what we say is crucial to avoid unintentional blasphemy.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) What does it mean to blaspheme the name of the Lord with a curse?

b) In the bible, what did the Lord say be done to the man that blasphemed His name with a curse?

c) What was done to the MAN who blasphemed the name of the Lord with a curse

ALCOHOL/ WINE AND THE PRIESTLY MINISTRY

We realise that God gave specific instructions regarding the conduct of priests and how they were supposed to conduct themselves in a nutshell

Priests were commanded not to drink wine or alcohol before entering the tabernacle and violating this command regarding alcohol consumption would result in death for the priests.Leviticus 10:8-9
[8]And the Lord said to Aaron,[9]Do not drink wine or strong drink, you or your sons, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; it shall be a statute forever in all your generations.

And so we realise upon to due of word concerning what priests needed to do and that which they were forbidden from doing and so this warning against alcohol still applies to us in view today regarding the instructions God has given us to beseech

Reflective questions about the teaching

A) What did The Lord say priest’s shouldn’t do before going to the TARBANCLE?

b) What did The Lord say will happen to the priest’s that include Aeron and His son’s if they drank alcohol and wine before going to the TARBANCLE?

c) Streamline purpose of due as realised upon in our subject study

d) How does this teaching relate to our everyday life

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful for this truth that is being realised to my spirit man as a permanent law for generations. I pray that you continue to draw divine insight to my understanding in Jesus name Amen

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SPEAK ABOUT MEN OF GOD

Speaking ill of men of God is identified as a cowardly characteristic of the modern era.

Over the years, men of God have become some of the most frequently discussed and debated individuals in society.Public discourse surrounding men of God is highly polarized, with some people speaking well of them while others speak poorly.

Many individuals engage in extreme criticism directed specifically at men of God.Critics frequently focus their judgment on the personal attire and clothing choices of men of God.The lifestyle choices and daily living habits of men of God are common targets for public scrutiny.
People actively criticize the way men of God manage and conduct their religious ministries.
There is a persistent and continuous stream of negative commentary regarding the actions and decisions of men of God.

The Bible provides historical and spiritual perspective on the consequences of criticizing spiritual leaders.Aaron and Miriam are cited as biblical examples of individuals who openly criticized Moses specifically because he married a Cushite woman.Numbers 12:1-2,10[1]NOW MIRIAM and Aaron talked against Moses [their brother] because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite woman.
[2]And they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
[10]And when the cloud departed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous!

The criticism leveled against Moses provoked anger from the Lord and as a direct consequence of her negative words against Moses, Miriam was afflicted with leprosy.

We are warned about the divine displeasure associated with speaking ill of spiritual leaders.

WHEN YOUR MAN OF GOD CALLS YOU

From a relatable conceptualization of our teaching in view, we realise that it is essential to highly esteem men of God based on the principle of precedence.

Men of God must be respected regardless of their specific identity, ministry, or capacity of life.Many people in modern times take their men of God for granted far more than they should.Some individuals mistakenly presume men of God to be merely their brothers in view.

When called by a man of God, one should respond and come to him immediately.
One must never question the authenticity of a man of God when summoned.

The Bible provides historical perspective and precedent regarding how people respond to spiritual leaders.The scriptures acknowledge a specific historical account involving Moses, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram refused to come when summoned by Moses.
Numbers 16:12-13[12]And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and they said, We will not come up.[13]Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?

The refusal of Dathan and Abiram was an act of direct disobedience.
Their disobedience was influenced by their feelings regarding what Moses had done to them and so The biblical account serves as a warning against disobeying spiritual authority.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Who is Dathan and Abarim?

b) According to our prompting of due, why did these people refuse to go to Moses when they were called?

c) Give some of the lessons that you percieve from our teaching

Dear Lord Jesus I pray and declare that I will not be disobedient to my man of God in Jesus name amen

MAKE THE Tabernacle ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN I WILL SHOW YOU

Following the Lord’s established pattern is essential to accomplishing everything He has orchestrated for us to do.Adhering to the Lord’s pattern ensures that we will experience His blessings and increase.

When we follow His pattern, His hand will be on all that He has set out to accomplish.
The Lord gave specific instructions to Moses regarding the making of the tabernacle.
Moses was commanded to make the tabernacle exactly according to the pattern shown to him as related upon in the book of Exodus 25:40.Exodus
[40]And see to it that you copy [exactly] their pattern which was shown you on the mountain. [Heb. 8:5, 6.]

Moses was required to follow the pattern precisely as it was revealed to him on the mountain. He wasn’t supposed to follow his own way or personal methods of doing things and so we realise that the primary requirement was strict adherence to the divine pattern rather than human innovation.
And as a direct result of Moses following the Lord’s pattern, the work of the tabernacle was successfully established.

The teaching emphasizes that divine success is directly tied to exact obedience to spiritual instructions.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to our teaching in view, what is that which the Lord told Moses to follow in view to the work of ma king the TARBANCLE?

b) Give realization of due as related upon to our subject study

c) How does this teaching apply to our everyday life?

d) Give an understanding of beseech as realised upon to context

ASK THE LORD FOR A SIGN, HE WILL GIVE YOU A SIGN

From a chronological aspect of view, we realise that the Lord speaks to people at many different times.
Sometimes people are completely certain that it is the Lord speaking to them.
At other times, people feel unsure whether the voice they hear is actually the Lord.

An Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon.
The Angel of the Lord shared many different things with Gideon.
Gideon wanted to be absolutely certain of the speaker’s identity.
Gideon sought confirmation to know for sure if the Lord was the one speaking to him to resolve his uncertainty and so Gideon asked the Lord for a sign.Judges 6:17-22[17]Gideon said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You Who talks with me.[18]Do not leave here, I pray You, until I return to You and bring my offering and set it before You. And He said, I will wait until you return[19]Then Gideon went in and prepared a kid and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them to Him under the oak and presented them.
[20]And the Angel of God said to him, Take the meat and unleavened cakes and lay them on this rock and pour the broth over them. And he did so.[21]Then the Angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes, and there flared up fire from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the Angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.[22]And when Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face!

The Lord responded to Gideon’s request.
The Lord successfully provided Gideon with the sign he asked for.
This teaching highlights that doubting the source of divine communication is a common human experience.

The teaching also shows that seeking confirmation from the Lord is an acceptable action and shows that the Lord is willing to provide signs to reassure those who doubt and that Gideon’s story serves as a specific example of divine-human communication and reassurance.

Reflective questions about the teaching

A) According to our teaching in view, what is that which Gideon asked from the Lord?

B) Did The Lord give Gideon a sign on whether He was the one who was speaking TO him?

c) Give an understanding of due as realised upon to context
