When the Lord promotes His servants it is for the benefit of the people.
2Sa 5:12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake.
When God exalts us, it is not for the benefit of self but for the Kingdom and for others.
We become blessed through the promotion but it is not just for self to be acknowledged or raised up.
It comes with great responsibility.
Hebrews 5:1 shows the duty of the High Priest to the people of Israel.
Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
The high priest was taken from Men to be ordained for men pertaining to the things of God. The responsibilities of the High Priest was to keep Heaven and Israel (Earth) connected.
It was to make sure any sin or transgression was absolved through sacrifices and offerings.
It was the responsibility to maintain a continual flow between God and Israel. They were offering up continual intercession.
We still have the responsibility of bringing gifts and sacrifices to the Lord.
We do not bring bulls and bullocks or Lambs but,
we are to bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. We are to bring fasting.
We are to bring intercession and prayers.
We are to bring our worship.
We are to bring our talent and monetary blessings.
Many saints do not realize it but a true five-fold minister is a gift to the people.
Ephesians 4:8 Therefore He says, “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
He gave gifts to men and then released these gifts to the people. A person called and anointed by God is a gift given to Humanity.
This Duty and responsibility is completely birthed out of Heaven.
When God ordains a man or a woman it literally means he placed his hand and took them out to place them in.
To set them up to cause them to stand and be permanently established for the task or work that is in front of them.
This is for the benefit of the people that they are called to serve that they might be established.
Ephesians 4:12-13
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
In order for the kingdom of heaven to be released it must be a person who has not chosen this Duty for them self but he who is called by God.
Hebrews 5: 4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
Aarons name means light bearer.
One cannot lead people to a light that they were not birthed out of.
We are to bring individuals into the Light.
We are not to try and be that light or draw people to ourselves.
We have been ordained for the benefit of the people.
In His Love,
