Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:2b-3
22:2. ...The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
The leaves of the tree refer to Jesus' body and blood for the healing of the nations, namely the physical and spiritual diseases, so there shall be no more curse.
The results are as follows:
Who is the servant of God who serves Him to the throne of heaven? One who serves in the true ordination is.
Genesis 29:1
29:1. "And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: Take one young bull and two ramswithout blemish,
The requirementsof the true ordination are as follows:
So, the true ordination means the one in love or the one of the bride which is signified by peace, obedience, and faithfulness.
As a result, the womb is opened like Sarah.
1 Peter 3:5
3:5. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
The doors in the world are opened. We have beautiful and successful future.
Revelation 3:8
3:8. "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
The door of heaven is also opened, so we can minister to God to the throne of heaven.
Be watchful! The winter of love happens on the last days. There are many ordinations without love.
1 John 3:11-12, 15
3:11. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,
3:12. not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.
3:15. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 4:20-21
4:20. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
4:21. And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
Cain ministered without love, so he was rejected by God.
1 John 2:10-11
2:10. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
2:11. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
It is the same as the blind ministry which does not aim at the New Jerusalem. One will surely fall into the bottomless pit. He has company with the sin, namely the evil and unclean spirits up to perdition in the hell.
There are three kinds of the blind ministry as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 22:2b-3
22:2. ...The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
The leaves of the tree refer to Jesus' body and blood for the healing of the nations, namely the physical and spiritual diseases, so there shall be no more curse.
The results are as follows:
- We can feel the atmosphere of the throne of haven.
- His servants shall serve Him. It means that we can become the servants of God.
Who is the servant of God who serves Him to the throne of heaven? One who serves in the true ordination is.
Genesis 29:1
29:1. "And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: Take one young bull and two ramswithout blemish,
The requirementsof the true ordination are as follows:
- The offering of a young bull. It refers to the atonement offering.
Why do we need atonement offering? All men in the world have sinned since Adam and Eve sinned in garden Eden and they were cast out of Eden to enter into the world. All men have become the servants of sin. So, the sinners must be set free from sins by the atonement offering.
1 John 4:9-10
4:9. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
4:10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
By His death on the cross, Jesus becomes the atonement offering for our sin. He dies with five major injuries as follows:- The four injuries, namely two in the hands and two in the feet. It is God's love to make propitiation for the sins of the Israelites.
- The fifth injury at Jesus' side, of which blood and water come out. It is God's mercy or love to make propitiation for the sins of the Gentiles.
The blood sign refers to the Altar of Burnt Offerings, namely we believe in Jesus as the only Savior and repent.
The water sign refers to the Brazen Laver, namely the true water baptism.
The true water baptism is that one who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life.
Romans 6:4
6:4. Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
We live in the anointing of Holy Spirit, namely life in righteousness. We live in peace, so all things become easy and light.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21
5:18. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
5:19. that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
5:20. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
5:21. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
If we have already been reconciled, we will be entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. We become the servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:18
6:18. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
[verse 20] The sinners must experience the ministry of reconciliation by trusting Jesus, repenting, and entering the water baptism, so they live in righteousness. They live in peace and become the servants of righteousness.
God appoints us as His servants, so we live in peace, and all things become easy and light. - The four injuries, namely two in the hands and two in the feet. It is God's love to make propitiation for the sins of the Israelites.
- The offering of the first ram. It refers to the offering of total self-surrendering to God.
Ephesians 5:2
5:2. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Philippians 2:8
2:8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Jesus becomes obedient to the point of death. He becomes the offering of a sweet-smelling aroma before God.
If we have already been reconciled, we will be able to surrender our life to God.
What must be surrendered?- The anxiety
1 Peter 5:7
5:7. casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
We surrender our anxiety, so we can prioritize the ministry to God more than anything. We can be shepherded well and correctly. As a result, we are taken care of physically and spiritually by the Great Shepherd up to eternal life. - The things that we love. If we surrender it, we will prefer ministering to God to anything we love.
As a result, God will be delighted upon our life. - The body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God.
Romans 12:1-2
12:1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
12:2. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
The living bodymeans being controlled by Holy Spirit through the perseverance in committing the general service--the Golden Candlestick.
John 6:63
6:63. "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
The holy bodymeans being controlled by the Word through the perseverance in committing the bible study service and holy communion--the Table of Showbread.
The body that is acceptable to Godmeans being controlled by God's love through the perseverance in committing the prayer service--the Golden Altar of Incense.
So, we surrender our body as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God in the sheepfold, namely the perseverance in committing the three kinds of main service to God.
[Romans 12:3] The animal offering that has been cut must be burnt. It means that one who has been shepherded must experience the sprinkle of blood or suffering in the flesh because of Jesus. Thus, we experience the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the incense that produces fragrance before God.
John 14:15
14:15. "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
So, the ministry that pleases God is the one in love.
- The anxiety
- The offering of the second ram. It refers to the offering of ordination.
Hebrews 9:13-14
9:13. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
9:14. how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
We have been reconciled, and we fully surrender or become obedient to God. So, it is not hard for us to be consecrated or used by God to minister to Him. It means becoming the servant of God.
Being used by God, we have to keep the things as follows:- Having a problem, we must not sulk or stop ministering. God will use the others, so there is no chance for us to return like Judas Iscariot.
Do not be proud! One will fall. Do not feel inferior! One will stumble.
The right thing is that we must always give thanks to God. We keep ministering to God faithfully and fervently until the finish line.
- Having a problem, we must not sulk or stop ministering. God will use the others, so there is no chance for us to return like Judas Iscariot.
So, the true ordination means the one in love or the one of the bride which is signified by peace, obedience, and faithfulness.
As a result, the womb is opened like Sarah.
1 Peter 3:5
3:5. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
The doors in the world are opened. We have beautiful and successful future.
Revelation 3:8
3:8. "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
The door of heaven is also opened, so we can minister to God to the throne of heaven.
Be watchful! The winter of love happens on the last days. There are many ordinations without love.
1 John 3:11-12, 15
3:11. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,
3:12. not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.
3:15. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 4:20-21
4:20. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
4:21. And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
Cain ministered without love, so he was rejected by God.
1 John 2:10-11
2:10. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
2:11. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
It is the same as the blind ministry which does not aim at the New Jerusalem. One will surely fall into the bottomless pit. He has company with the sin, namely the evil and unclean spirits up to perdition in the hell.
There are three kinds of the blind ministry as follows:
- The ministry in envy and revenge like Cain. It means a quenched lamp or having no light of God.
The ministry of Abel is in the light of the love of God, namely the one that is signified with the seven things as follows:- Honoring one another.
Romans 12:10
12:10. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honorgiving preference to one another. - Admonishing one another.
Romans 15:14
15:14. Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonishone another.
The highest exhort is that we become more active in the ministry.
Hebrews 10:25
10:25. not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. - Bearing one another.
Ephesians 4:2
4:2. with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearingwith one another in love, - Edifying one another.
Ephesians 4:29
4:29. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. - Confessing and forgiving one another.
James 5:16
5:16. Confessyour trespasses to one another, and prayfor one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. - Praying one another.
- Loving one another [Romans 12:10].
The lamp starts burning to light the household.
- Honoring one another.
- The blind ministry is the same as having no light of Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:9
1:9. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
It means that one is not stable in the remission of sins. He keeps committing sin as well as lives in the sin.
Acts 2:38
2:38. Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 3:13-14
3:13. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"),
3:14. that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Having Holy Spirit, there shall be no more sin and curse. We can experience the seven spiritual increases.
2 Peter 1:5-7
1:5. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith(1) virtue(2), to virtue knowledge(3),
1:6. to knowledge self-control(4), to self-control perseverance(5), to perseverance godliness(6),
1:7. to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
As a result, the lamp burns before men. - Being blind meansthat one cannot receive the Bride Tidings or having no light of the Word.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
4:3. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4:4. whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
He cannot hear and obey the teaching Word because of the hardness of his heart.
That is why, we must become gentle, so we can hear and obey the Word.
As a result, we experience the seven purification and renewals.
Colossians 3:9-10, 12-14
3:9. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,
3:10. and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
3:12. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies(1), kindness(2), humility(3), meekness(4), longsuffering(5);
3:13. bearing with one(6) another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
3:14. But above all these things put on love(7), which is the bond of perfection.
As a result, the lamp burns to become the light of the world.
Revelation 1:12-13
1:12. Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
1:13. and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
The results of the burning lamp are as follows:- The darkness of basket and bedroom cannot destroy our marriage. The darkness of the world cannot make us stumble.
- Jesus as the High Priest is present to stretch out His merciful hand.
2:17. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
2:18. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
If the sin is finished, God's hand will be able to finish all of our impossible problems. He takes care of us physically and spiritually up to perfection.
Our attitude is falling down at Jesus' feet, the High Priest. We worship Him with a broken heart. We confess our weakness and infirmity. - The darkness of basket and bedroom cannot destroy our marriage. The darkness of the world cannot make us stumble.
God blesses us.
