The appointed and preserved priest fully understands the responsibility of his/her calling, not just the office of priesthood. Subsequently, carries him/herself with a high level of integrity with a character that is unquestionable, for there are no dark chapters of their lives that are a mystery because they live and walk in a manner that glorifies YHW. So, if you call yourself a priest or have been appointed as a priest, is your life a living sacrifice with no defects that profane the sanctuaries of the Great I AM, or are you one of those who justify sin with grace? I do not know which Bible you are reading because Ephesians chapter 5 is very clear that no unrepentant sinner “has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.” While Titus 2:11-14 tells us that the grace of God teaches us to say NO to sin! Well, Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Matthew 7:21 NKJV
“14 A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot—these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife. 15 Nor shall he profane his posterity among his people, for I the Lord sanctify him.’ ” 16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has any defect, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For any man who has a defect shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, 19 a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, 20 or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch. 21 No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the Lord. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God, both the most holy and the holy; 23 only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profane My sanctuaries; for I the Lord sanctify them.’ ”
24 And Moses told it to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.” Leviticus 21:14-24 NKJV
Every defect stated in the above-mentioned verses represents sin in our lives and we have to repent for God is Holy and He wants us to be holy as He is. May the Lord God, the Almighty Jehovah, forgive us for our hypocrisy in Jesus’ Mighty name, I pray!
“11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” Titus 2:11-14 NKJV
#I will be honest!
#do not profane Abba Father’s sanctuaries!
#“Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.” Titus 2:15 NKJV
My beloved priest, I will meet you on the other side!
Desire a Godly character!
