Numbers 7:1-6

7 On the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them; 2 the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered: 3 and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle. 4 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.”

6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

10 The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings before the altar.

11 Yahweh said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.”

12 He who offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah, 13 and his offering was:

one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred thirty shekels,

one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering;

14 one golden ladle of ten shekels, full of incense;

15 one young bull,

one ram,

one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;

16 one male goat for a sin offering;

17 and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two head of cattle, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old. This was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

18 On the second day Nethanel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, gave his offering.

  • the tribe of Judah : Judah always leads the way
  • Jesus is from the tribe of Judah
  • Judah means praise
    • Not complain
    • Complain in Greek : luwn ; which means abide all night
      • stay where you are
      • stay in your same situation
    • When we praise God will take away from bad situation
  • Praise always leads the way
  • When the enemy comes against Jews, Judah goes first.

Reward for using His Grace

Reward for using His Grace

John 4:7-10
World English Bible (WEB)

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God (dorea in greek, free gift), and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

Luke 5:3

Getting removed from Self Occupation

Getting removed from Self Occupation

Solomon getting all he wants ( “I” centered )

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
World English Bible (WEB)

2 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure”; and behold, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter, “It is foolishness”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?”

3 I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives. 4 I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards. 5 I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit. 6 I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were reared. 7 I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem; 8 I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men—musical instruments, and that of all sorts. 9 So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me. 10 Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor. 11 Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Result

Ecclesiastes 2:17
World English Bible (WEB)

17 So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Be Christ Centered

1 Corinthians 12:15-25
World English Bible (WEB)

15 If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. 16 If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now they are many members, but one body. 21 The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

Difference between God and Lord

Difference between God and Lord
  • God : The Creator : Elohim
  • Lord : The God of grace, God of relationship, Covenant Keeping God : Yhvh : Yahweh
  • In the Book of Ecclesiastics , its full of God
  • That’s vanity of vanities 37 times
  • Under the sun : 28 times
  • Upon the earth : 7 times
  • Under the heaven : 3 times
  • The earth and the things of the earth : 40 times
  • In that book, Solomon didn’t think above the sun. That’s the problem

“Heavenly minded to be earthly good”

Only if you have Peace, Joy, Prosperous, then only you would be able to help the one who is without peace, Joy and Prosperous.

“Think above the sun” – Great life above the sun
