Gleanings from the Shadow

Deuteronomy 16:13-22
Gleanings from the shadow 

The ordinances of the Old Testament are shadow of the new Testament, the reality of God's plan, Colossians 2:17, Hebrews 10:1.
1. The shadow of feasts
a. There were three feasts commanded in the text, v16.
b. All of them are pointers to the redemption and the journey of the new life in Christ.
c. Feast of unleavened bread had to do with commemoration of when they were delivered from Egypt (the world of sin) vv16,3. The feast was not really pleasant because they could only eat unleavened bread. The equivalence in the NT is the Lord's supper. I Corinthians 11:24.
The feast of weeks was to help them remember the great difference between the slavery life in Egypt (sin and the world) and the blessings in the new Canaan life signified by the beginning of harvests vv9,12. The NT reality was fulfilled in the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2.
The feast of Tabernacles enjoined them to be in booths for 7 weeks as a reminder of the wilderness journey after leaving Egypt. It must be solemn vv13,15,16. It was a pointer to the rough Christian journey, yet "rejoicing forever more".



d. The feasts must be done in the temple and only the poor and needy must be invited to join the family vv11, 14. Compare this with Luke 14:13, 14 where the only rewardable feast is for those who are poor and cannot pay back. 

2. The guiding rules for rulers and judges vv17-22.

Lord, teach me to always remember, reflect and refire in the Lord for the great redemption you gave me when I got saved🙏
Lord, give me the spirit that keeps rejoicing in the Lord no matter how rough the road is🙏
Lord, I ask for renewed pentecostal and spiritual blessings to be multiplied in my life🙏
GOD, cause your church to be experiencing a feast of spiritual blessings in this famine period🙏

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
