 FEAST  OF  KINGS DEVOTIONAL           

     DATE:  9TH JANUARY 2025 

 

THEME: INCREASE YOUR FAITH

      TEXT: NUMBERS 27:15-23 


   POWER IN A LEADER'S HAND 

One divinely approved way for an overling  (superior authority) to transfer spiritual graces, gifts and virtues to a privileged or a loyal underling  (subordinate) is by the laying on of his hand. 


1.  Transfer of wisdom


Moses transferred wisdom to Joshua by laying his hand upon him. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him - Deuteronomy 34:9a.


The effect of the transfer of wisdom was that the Israelites Joshua was leading listened to him. And the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses - Deuteronomy 34:9b.


2.  Transfer of honour


God asked Moses to lay his head upon Joshua to transfer his honour unto him. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take you Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him ... And you shall put some of your honour upon him - Numbers 27:18,20a.


The purpose of that instruction was for God to subordinate the Israelites to Joshua's leadership. That all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient - Numbers 27:18,20b.


By destiny and providence Judah was to lead Israel. But God chose Joshua from the tribe of Ephraim to succeed Moses because he was loyal and serviceable to Moses. AFTER THE death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' minister - Joshua 1:1.


In God's kingdom, loyalty and service to an overling is the major key to succession. Joshua certainly obeyed Moses without question. He fasted with Moses for forty days. Joshua became the leader of the Israeli army in transit without excuse. God makes those that are loyal to a superior to inherit him. 


Know this, loyalty and service to a superior are akin to an underling taking over from him.


Thank you for reading and may God bless you.

Unrivaled Medicine God Chapter 201 to 220

 Chapter 201: Who Dares to Touch My Yuan-Er! Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor "Truly the ignorant is fearless! You aren’t thinking that because I’m an alchemist, my combat power is subpar, right? Today, I’m going to teach you just what kind of strength sect core disciples have!" Yang Hao said frostily. Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "I say, you’re annoying. Are the martial arts of core disciples all on lip service?" "You’re courting death, Ye Yuan!" Yang Hao already had enough of Ye Yuan’s provocation and could not hold back any longer. He made his move! "Great Thousand-Leaf Hand!" Yang Hao cried out in a low voice. A palm created illusions of countless palms, smacking towards Ye Yuan. Seeing Yang Hao make a move, everyone was secretly shocked! "Tranquil Cloud Sect’s core disciple’s strength is indeed fathomless! This Great Thousand-Leaf Hand is a superior-grade Tier 2 technique, right? It has actually been cultivated to suc...

AUC Chapter 36 to 50

 Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Intermediate Carnivore Pet Food Back at the school team residence, Chen Xing closed the door. Lying on the bed, Chen Xing closed his eyes and opened the Stone Booklet to check the mini-game related to Taotie’s newly awakened skills. Interactive Minigame (Escape the Great Vortex): Create a Great Vortex within the designated area. The owner throws a small ball into the vortex and the pet must dive into the heart of the Great Vortex to retrieve the target ball and bring it back within three minutes. Exceeding the time limit results in failure. Proficiency Level: Beginner (0/10) There was a friendly progress bar following the minigame. It seemed to represent the skill’s Proficiency Level, which could optimize the skill if the game was cleared successfully, much like a Passive Skill. But after thinking for a while, Chen Xing couldn’t help but stare at the word “Beginner.” The previous Passive Skill, Water Concealment, did not have this Proficiency Level advanceme...

Eternal Sacred King Chapter 629 to 638

 Chapter 629: Three Formations! The scholar who arrived with a fresh set of green robes was Su Zimo who had escaped here. The attention of the hundred Nascent Souls were drawn over immediately. The old lady could not see what was going on outside and merely hugged the child tightly in her embrace. “You’re finally willing to show yourself, little beast?” Many Nascent Souls stood in midair and looked down at the mansion not far away, sneering in mockery. Su Zimo had an indifferent expression and walked down the stone steps into the courtyard. He gazed silently at the old man beneath the peach blossom tree with a deep sorrow in his eyes. The old man’s eyes were closed and he had a peaceful expression, as though he was in a deep sleep. The furnace made of red clay burned and flickered. There was a bowl of wine remaining above that was still warm. Su Zimo was oblivious to the encirclement of the hundred Nascent Souls and walked towards the furnace. He lifted the remaining bowl of wine a...
