Duties of the Gatekeepers

‎Hi Queens,

‎We are getting closer to an important event for the BLF House. It's a time to be excited but this time it also requires a different posture.

‎I believe God is doing great and wonderful things in our lives and today's bread is going to give us a strategy for this stage.

‎Let's give thanks:

‎Father thank you for covering us each second with your love and care. We thank you for today's bread let it give strategy and wisdom to us your children, Amen.

‎Let's eat:

‎During the reign of King David, assignments or duties or positions were being alloted. Today I would be talking about the duties of the gatekeepers.

‎1 Chronicles 26:13 (NLT)

‎13 They were assigned by families for guard duty at the various gates, without regard to age or training, for it was all decided by means of sacred lots.

‎Sacred lots during that time was a sacred faith-filled practice used to discern God's will or make impartial decisions.

‎They marked objects and asked people to pull out any of the marked sticks and the mark you chose indicated your lot or portion, you see this throughout the old testament.

‎In the book of Joshua during the distribution of the Promise Land they casted lots in the presence of the Lord.

‎It removed human bias, placing the final verdict completely on God's hands. Their belief was from this scripture.

‎Proverbs 16:33 (NLT)

‎33 We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.

‎This doesn't mean go and do this when you want to make an important decision. It's not gambling either.

‎We, are in the New covenant where now we have close proximity to God, He lives and abides in us and walks with us.

‎So when you are confused pray to God in simple words be still to hear and feel the nudge He gives you to either take a step or stop.

‎Usually when you feel unsettled in your spirit it's also a good sign to stop.

‎Now we are assigned differently through Christ Jesus. Paul gives a beautiful description and I want us to remember this always.

‎Galatians 1:1 (NLT)

‎1 This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.

‎Today, I want us to guard our thoughts, words and hearts. That means saying no to fear, anger, anxiety, bitterness, doubt and the voices in your mind that keeps disturbing your peace.

‎Guard your peace and remember to trust God for you never walk alone. He is your Shepherd.

‎Let's pray:

‎Father thank you for your wisdom, open our eyes to see what you see, Amen.

‎If you want to have a relationship with Jesus, say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎Queen, you never walk alone, guard your territory, love Papa and Beth.
