Leviticus 26 - 27 (22nd Feb)

Leviticus 26
It is coming to the end of Leviticus and God made great promises. If we follow His commands, He will send rain and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit (v3, 4). You will eat all you want and live in the safety of the land (v5). 5 of us will chase a hundred of enemies away and hundred of us will chase away 10,000. God will grant us favour(v8). You will have favor, you will be fruitful and increase in numbers (v9). Full of promises from the Lord if we follow His commands.
Those that disobey will be punished (v14 - 39). But those who confess their sins, Gd will not reject you (v40 - 45). So obey the Lord and follow His commands and you will be blessed.


Proverbs 8:32 - Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.
Luke 11:28 - He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
Revelation 1:3 - Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Leviticus 27

The last chapter of Leviticus where everything can be set apart for the Lord. The word 'set apart' is also the same as 'holy'. It can be a person who is set apart for God when he or she comes to know the Lord and God set him or her apart to be holy. That's why we are called royal priesthood, holy nation and people belonging to God. but yet we still choose to sin. That's where we need to confess our sins before the Lord.

Your house can be set apart for the Lord. Pray and invite the Lord into your home. Where the Lord is, it is holy. Whatever you have, you may set aside 10% for the Lord. It is a tithe. A worship unto the Lord.
