On the last, great day of the feast…


What’s the price of a soul?  How about the soul of one of your loved ones? What about the price for your entire family? Clearly, nothing in this world can be compared to the price of one soul.
And yet, deaths are rapidly multiplying in this world.
People’s lives are taken by the most trivial, and by the most oppressive misery.
Only God, those who are born of God, and the devil know the true price of a soul.
The king of Sodom, symbolizing Satan, said the Abraham:
Give me the people, but take the possessions for yourself. Genesis 14.21
This gives us an ideal of the satanic goal of this world.
According to the Law of Moses, every firstborn son of a couple would be dedicated or consecrated to the Lord.
The firstborn son, the first fruit of the couple, was dedicated to the Lord.
This boy, as the tithe, would be considered God’s own possession.
Eight days after his birth they would celebrate his dedication.
In those times, the parents would give sacrificial vows on this special day. Each couple, according to their ability, would make an offering.
If a couple was extremely poor, even then they would make a sacrificial offering.
Every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord, and to offer a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord: a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons. Luke 2.23,24
This was done with Jesus as a child.
A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons was the minimum that they were to offer to God.
But now, we praise the name of Jesus for opening the door for us to consecrate or dedicate anyone to Him, whether or not they are the firstborn.
The dedication of Jesus as a child demanded the sacrifice of an animal’s blood, according to the Law of Moses.
On the 3rd to the 10th of February we will join the consecration of the firstborn (the tithers) and the dedication of our family.
Those who believe should place their tithe together with a vow for their family and a photo and join this multitude of faith that is being raised up.
Seven days of dedication (Sunday the 3rd to Saturday the 9th) and on the eighth day, the 10th, we will have the feast of the Holy Spirit in each home, when the family of faith will participate in the Lord’s Supper.
If you believe, move forward; if you don’t, say behind.
May God bless those who believe.
