Numbers 29-36: Matthew 3-5:26

Good Evening Truth Seekers! It has been a busy two days. Today we took the young people to six flags for Gospel Festival and Kirk Franklin performed. It was a glorious time and I enjoyed it. Numbers 29- 36 is the end of Moses ministry and life. Matthew 3-5 begin the ministry of Jesus. They both had the favor of God upon them. They both honored their post as priest and leaders. Will you do the same? As a Father, Mother, Brother or Sister? Follow up and follow through with what God calls you to do.

Numbers 26-28: Matthew 2

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Numbers 26-29: The census being retaken to establish those who would go into the promised land. Don't forget that anyone over twenty at the first census would suffer death because of lack of faith in the spying assignment. God establishes that Joshua will lead, but not with all the authority that Moses had. Notice that he then ties his leadership to the Priest who would inquire of the Lord on his behalf. Being in relationship with God requires sacrifice. The offerings required by the Lord represented value to those offering them. I notice that they gave out of what they had, and that meant that there was no shortage. There is a song that says, "You can't beat God giving no matter how you try; the more you give the more he'll give to you, so keep on giving"

Matthew 2 is the birth of Christ. I have often overlooked the killing of the babies in Bethlehem. Christ's birth threatens all kings of the world and they were trying to stop his kingdom before it started. The other thing noteworthy is that Jesus receive offerings at his birth. His family went to Egypt at did the children of Israel, and was brought out on God's command. This was no coincidence. Joseph was lead and saved by God. Will you allow the Lord to lead you? It comes with great benefits; provisions and prevention.

Numbers 23-25: Matthew 1

Good Evening Truth Seekers! Numbers 23-25 is the courageous story of Balaam to be obedient to God. Balaak wants him to curse the Israelites but he does not because that is not what God says. I pray for this type of courage, to do what God wants regardless of the circumstance. Lastly, the race is not given to the swift, but to the one who can endure. The Israelites get caught up in the Midianite women and caused a plague to come upon them from God. What a fascinating story of how it ends. Don't miss it.

Matthew 1 is the lineage of Jesus and the story of his immaculate conception. It would be incorrect to say his beginning because he was and foretold long before. What a privilege and honor for Mary and Joseph to be used like this by God. A wonderful blessing to all for his name Immanuel means God with us. Believe it or not this story impacts the world including believers and non believers. Which are you?

Numbers 20-22:Revelation 22

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Revelation has come and gone! 22 is the signature of God upon this vision and revelation. Do not add to it or take away from it. I receive John's prayer for the people of God. Will you?

Numbers 20-22 Israel goes on the move and to war. God movers his people and moves with and for them. But like Balaak and Balaam found out we should move and speak on God's command. I often wonder will it take a donkey to get our attention regarding God and what he is doing in our lives. Say it ain't so Joe!

Numbers 15-19: Revelation 20--21

Good Afternoon Truth Seekers! Numbers 15-19 establishes the protocol when it comes to tabernacle positioning and work. God selected Moses and Aaron to be his leaders and it was non negotiable. We dishonor God when we go against his appointed leadership and organization. If and when there is any problem with the man of God, God will not only hold them accountable but will judge all. We would have a different church if all of us honored God and his church/tabernacle as prescribed in Numbers.

Revelation 20-21 brings about the judgement and a new heaven. Ultimate honor and glory belongs to the lamb of God (Jesus) who died for the sins of the world and whose reward is power to judge everyone. Don't wait to call upon his name, for all who do will be saved from the second death.

Numbers 11-14: Revelation 19

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Numbers 11-14 marks a rebellious time in Israels history. They almost moaned themselves to death. They complained about meat, Miriam complained about Moses, and they failed to believe in the Lord's might. It all added it up to a self fulfilling prophecy. The Lord punished them with their own words. They were sentenced to unfulfilled lives in the desert and would see the promised land. God is able to do exceedingly more than we can imagine, I pray that we are not talking our ways out of blessings. Do you believe God can do what he promises? If not, he won't. In Hebrews 11:6 it teaches us, without faith it is impossible to please God. Do you have God pleasing faith?

Revelation 19 is the continuation of the beginning of Christ reign. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. His kingdom has come and all will bow down in due time. He has earned all power on earth and in heaven. Bow down to the King or suffer later the consequence.

Numbers 9-10:Revelation 18

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Numbers 9 establishes the passover meal as an ordinance in Israel. They are to par take in in annually and follow the instructions given by the Lord God. The passover is to remind them of how God passed over every first born of Israel and killed the firstborn of Egypt in his delivering them out. None of us should forget how God has rescued us. Our lives should be a constant offering unto him. What we say, how we live, how we love, forgive, and treat others. Being children of the most high comes with responsibility and as a result we get rewarded with his grace, mercy and countless blessings. As the Lord God lead the people by the cloud he will lead us in every aspect of life. He knows the way, we have to be willing to follow. The trumpets are tools God used to assemble his people. When the trumpets sounds again, the end, and it will be a gathering of God's people. Will you be in that number?

Revelation 18: the end of Babylon as a nation of sin. Sin will be wiped from the earth and will have no place in God's holy city.
