DON'T GIVE LIP SERVICE! #2

-






I try not to give lip service to
my family and friends.I try to
live up to my promises! Some
times I had circumstances that 
made it almost impossible to 
keep my word! This is why I 
confessed it to them. I did
not tell a lie or try to cover 
up the truth.

The Bible talks about service and
many people were assigned to do
tasks by God. I read during one 
my Bible study sessions several 
scriptures which show people 
who served God for years. They 
even passed their duties to the
next generation.  

 




LIFE LESSON:



THE TRIBE OF LEVI ARE PRIESTS ASSIGNED TO SERVICE OF TABERNACLE



Exodus 6:16



These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations:


Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty-seven.
 

Exodus 32:26, 28



Then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.



28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses...




Numbers 1:50



But you shall appoint the Levites over 
the tabernacle of the Testimony,over 
all its furnishings, and over all things
that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings;they 
shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle.

 

NUMBERS 4:3-4, 9


 

3 From thirty years old and above,
even to fifty years old, all who enter 
the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.

4 “This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to the most holy things:



9 And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand of the

light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all it's

oil vessels, with which they service it.


NUMBERS 4:23-24




23 From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and carrying.


NUMBERS 4:32-33




32 and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall assign to each man by name the items he must carry.
33 This is the service of the families 
of the sons of Merari, as all their service 
for the tabernacle of meeting, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
