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🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
