THEME: BLESSINGS OF GOD
Numbers 6:24-26
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
INSIGHT
-Moses through the command of the Lord instructed Aaron and his sons to pronounce a blessing upon the children of Israel. The act of blessing was deeply rooted in the Israel’s culture as it was given to Abraham and his descendants. The priestly blessing bears three key sections where the name of the LORD is spoken. It pronounces a blessings, prosperity, safety and sustenance upon the people. It also speaks of God’s favor and presence. Lastly, it spells out peace given the enemies that surrounded them. The priestly blessings were accompanied by a sacrifice that the priests offered to the Lord which mirrored the sacrifice of Jesus by shedding of His blood on the cross. The blessings were initially spelt out on the Israelites only, but through Christ; we became God’s chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and God’s special possession (1 Peter 2:9). Through God’s love, we are a blessed generation. Since we are Abraham’s seed according to the promise, we are blessed with his blessings which as we await our heaven inheritance through Christ Jesus.
