“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 138: 6

Though the Lord is on high, yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

For us, the bride, the church in everything the one on high, the most important and the one to be praised in our Lord Jesus Christ.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should be as those who desire prosperity through Christ.

Next what we are meditating upon is that in the verse 1 Chronicles 9: 1 – 3 So all Israel was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 

And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim.

Now in Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh:

In the above-mentioned verses, all Israel was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim. Now in Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh and they are 1 Chronicles 9: 4 – 6 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah. 

Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 

Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren—six hundred and ninety.

They were six hundred and ninety people. The sons of Benjamin in 1 Chronicles 9: 7 – 9 Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 

Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 

and their brethren, according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.

The above-mentioned men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses. The priests in 1 Chronicles 9: 10, 11 Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 

Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the officer over the house of God;

They were the officer over the house of God. Also, in 1 Chronicles 9: 12, 13 Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 

and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

The above-mentioned people were the heads of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were very able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 

My dear people, when we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, the Lord: before the body of Christ is resurrected within us in the temple of God that God built through Solomon the generations of the fathers of the twelve tribes received place in Jerusalem and we can read this. The tribe of Judah because of their unfaithfulness they were taken as captives to Babylon means God is showing us this as a pattern. That is, even though we have been led by the Spirit of God our soul if it will be under the bondage of the habits of the world then the Lord will let us to be made captive and taken by the hands of the Babylonian, ruler of the world that is Satan. Therefore after we have been revived by the Spirit of Christ we must not be deceived by the stains of the world, and we must be careful. Also, after the Lord has revived our soul, he is the head for all and the Lord who enquires and everything within us is manifested as Christ. In this manner, we must humble ourselves completely and for Christ to be lifted up for all of us in everything always let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
