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

Romans 12: 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

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

Hallelujah 

We must be as those with brotherly love and we, the bride, the church should receive our blessing.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated how we, the bride, the church should inherit the eternal life and for God to deliver our enemies in our hands and by submitting in this manner he is making us rest and we meditated regarding this.

Also, what we are meditating is that Joshua 22: 1 – 6 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 

and said to them: “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. 

You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God. 

And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan. 

But takemcareful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 

So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

According to the above-mentioned verses, for the tribe of Levi the children of Israel the cities in their lands, after Joshua distributed and them according to the command of the Lord, then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, and said to them: “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God. And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

In this manner, the fact regarding what Joshua is telling is that in our life the way how we must behave to our church, the brothers and the explanation regarding that along with patterns. Also, 1 Thessalonians 4: 9, 10 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; 

and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more;

According to the above-mentioned verses to our church, the brothers we must increase in love. Also, regarding brotherly love the word of God in Colossians 3: 13 says bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

If we will meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, all of us brothers are called as one body and we must keep this always in mind and in their decrease, we must bear their needs. Also, regarding brotherly love, the word of God says in 1 John 3: 11 – 18 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 

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.

Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. 

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 

But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Therefore, the above-mentioned verses are written regarding how the love of God should be in fullness in our soul. The pattern regarding this only we see that Joshua is telling the children of Israel that return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan. The fact regarding this is that because they did what they were supposed to do for their brothers and because he made them rest he is telling each one of them to go to their tents. These are a pattern of Christ, the body of Christ.

Also, the word of God to them that but take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. In this manner, Joshua blessed with the blessing of God and sent them away. 

My dear people, let us meditate upon the above-mentioned facts and let us also submit ourselves to receive the blessing of God.

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