(Priests an Priests To Be Upgrading II)
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:20b
28:20 .... and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”...
The accompaniment of God until the last age means that He accompanies us, starting from now until the age of Antichrist for three and half years, until His second coming on the glorious clouds and we sit beside Him on the throne of God forever.
Matthew 19:27-28
19:27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
19:28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Who may get the accompaniment of God until they can sit together with Him on the throne of heaven? They are the people who follow and serve God until the end line. It means until we die or the time of His second coming.
They are also the people who are being consecrated by God.
Thus, the life who serves God may get His accompaniment. The consecration of ministry cannot be separated with the accompaniment of God.
Being consecrated or employed by God, we must totally surrender ourselves to Him.
Ephessian 5:1-2
5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
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.
The example of ones who totally surrender is Jesus who sacrifices Himself until He dies on the cross and becomes a sweet-smelling offering up to throne of God.
Likewise, we must totally surrender ourselves to become the sweet-smelling offering up to the throne of God and we sit together with Him.
The practice of totally surrender to become a sweet-smelling offering to God is as follows:
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Likewise, we must totally surrender ourselves to become the sweet-smelling offering up to the throne of God and we sit together with Him.
The practice of totally surrender to become a sweet-smelling offering to God is as follows:
- Giving our sin to God.
Genesis 8:20-21
8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
8:21 And the Lordsmelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lordsaid in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart isevil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
After men are punished with flood, Noah is able to present the sweet –smelling offering to God. Now it means that if we want to present entire our life as the sweet-smelling offering, we must give the sins to God.
Giving the sin means confessing the sin to God and fellows. If we are forgiven, do not sin anymore.
1 Corinthians 5:11
5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
The beginning of totally surrendering is giving six sins that are ingrained to prevent us to enter the unity of perfect body of Christ. The six sins are as follows:- Sexually immoral or the wrong marriage.
- Covetous.
- An idolater.
- A reviler.
- A drunkard or smoker.
- Extortioner or liar.
The result is as follows:- No curse and punishment or we are saved.
- Having the ambience of feast or we experience the joy of Heaven.
1 Corinthians 5:8
5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened breadof sincerity and truth.
- Sexually immoral or the wrong marriage.
- We are able to give or sacrifice.
Philippians 4:17-18
4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.
4:18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sentfrom you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
Thus, serving God is sacrificing time, energy, money, thought, until the entire of our life for God. But one thing that we cannot sacrifice, that is the true teaching Word.
The form of giving is returning the God’s that is tithes and special offering. It equals to giving for the ministry. It is also giving for others who are in need.
The base of givingis as follows:- The sacrifice of Christ. If we object to give, we must remember the sacrifice of Christ.
- The true teaching Word. It purifies our heart from the evil desire or the will of money.
Do not give because of emotion. Do not give to look for reward. Do not give to search praise nor gain.
9:7 So leteach one giveas he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
The attitude of givingis willingness and bliss not by force.
The direction of givingis the building of the perfect body of Christ.
We give with the right base, attitude and direction, and then our giving will be fragrant in front of God.
Philippians 4:17
4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.
The one who is able to give the sweet-smelling offering has the fruits.
Philippians 4:19
4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The result is as follows:- God will fulfill our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus that in unlimited.
- We receive the fruit that is profitable. We will not get loss. The gain is until we reach the two wings of a great eagle that will fly us to the wilderness far from the eyes of serpent.
- The sacrifice of Christ. If we object to give, we must remember the sacrifice of Christ.
- Worshipping God.
Revelation 8:1-4
8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer itwith the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
Worship is the peak of ministry. The sweet-smelling worship is signified by the tearing of flesh or the crucifixion of flesh. Thus, we will experience two things as follows:- Silence.
It means we feel nothing that flesh can feel such as worry, anger, and sorrow.
We feel joy for Holy Spirit is reigning over us. As a result, everything becomes light and easy. - The renewal of life from carnal men to spiritual ones like Jesus.
It starts from being obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore. If the one being disobedient to the Word, he is naked and becomes burden for others. On the contrary, if we obey God, the physical miracle will happen. The impossible becomes possible. We are being changed until as perfect as He is when Jesus comes a second.
- Silence.
God blesses us.
