Set the order according to Him Ezra 6:18 - And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses. We read I the Bible the Lord had set a structure for the Priests (People who serve the Temple of God / Body of Christ). Moses implemented it and saw the glory of God. David implemented it and saw the glory of God. In todays message we read Ezra too implemented it and he too saw the glory of God what was impossible became possible, the greatest of enemies and situations that came against them could not bring them down, they had victory over every situation. People may say this order was for the Jews according to their tribes. If one understands what the 12 tribes symbolized and why God set the order then one would realized Jesus bought out the same but with true understanding and Paul wrote on it (that is why Jesus nor Paul nor any Apostle spoke or wrote on the 12 tribes but yet Revelation speaks of it). But one would not find everything in one verse or chapter or in one book of the NT. One needs to put all the references together and super impose them like a template over scriptures of the Old Testament to get the true picture. We see in todays Christian Churches, Satan has infused an order which has its roots in the Catholic Church and the Bible credits this roots to Nicolas, who was a Jewish heretic converted to Christianity but infused his heretic teachings into the Christian Churches. Paul, Peter and Revelation warn about this Anti-Christ spirit, but yet as prophesized this spirit ruled the Christian Churches for hundreds of years (1260years – about 300AD to 1560AD approx. - Reformation). Today even though we Believers have come out of many of the doctrines of that Church yet we have not come to follow the order which God has set but yet follow the order as defined by the Nicolaitans. I have times and again heard Pastors and Preachers speak of authority of Church leaders and how one needs to abide under the authority. It is sad due to the lack of understanding and the blinds over their eyes they are commanding Christians to become Nicolaitans, submit to an authority which God has not set but set by man under satanic influence. The Church does not see the glory of God and we ask God again and again why we experience persecutions, why does not the enemy come to their knees before the people of God? The Lord is telling us doing our own things will let us experience the glory of God. Do it His Way and see High Way, the glory of God. [Prayer Starter] Lord, You made man as a being who has the image of You in Him. This image was not only in the spirit but even the physical body has the image in its design. In the understanding of the image we understand the functioning of the Church as defined in scriptures. Lord, You made man with 2 hand 2 legs and not with four legs as you made most of the animals. You made man with multiple organs which work with each other as a system depending on each other even though they work independently unlike many creatures; all this for a purpose. But man has made a Frankenstein of your body the Church doing their own things. Lord, may the Church understand the working of your Body and that there is glory only in your system as to the order You set... This prayer we make in Jesus Name, Amen. [Reference Scriptures] 1 Corinthians 12:4-12, 27-29 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Acts 13:1 - Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Ephesians 4:11-12 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 1 John 4:3 - And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Revelation 2:6,14,15 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit acts of immorality. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Acts 6:5 - And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
