Set in Order

Exodus  40:4  And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

Praise the Lord!!

Today we will meditate upon living a life in orderliness.

Orderliness is associated with other qualities such as cleanliness and diligence, and the desire for order and symmetry, and is generally considered to be a desirable quality.

It is very important that we follow an order in our lives. As God is an orderly God. He never does things haphazardly and confused. Everything has its perfect place and time. Similarly he expects his child to set their life in order.

We can find in the scripture that God has given specific instructions to his children in the areas where they need set in order.

1. Order in your offering (Leviticus 6:12)
It is said God loves a  cheerful giver. Also God loves when you give your offering in an order. Many times we take due care to micro manage our future by making investment so that our future and future of our family is secured. There is nothing wrong with that!! However when it comes to giving to God and his ministry we tend to follow a haphazard pattern and don't give him orderly, regularly and systematically. If we follow a system in giving God will definitely honour that.

2. Order in your fellowship ( Leviticus  24:8 )

Israelites were given specific instructions to honour the Sabbath. That was the time to rest in the Lord. To enjoy the fellowship of the Lord. Many times we spend our time with family and forget that we have a saviour who is yearning to hear your voice. And his heart cries out " My Child!! Where are you?". Yes Saints there has to order in fellowship. Set a time, day, place to have fellowship with him.

3. Order in Service ( 2 Chronicles 29:35)
Many are called but few are chosen. But if we still follow this world and don't pay heed to his calling. We are grieving the Holy Spirit. We need to have a order in serving the Lord. We are not part time servants of the Lord. We have been called and chosen to do business for his kingdom through our talents.

4. Order in words. ( Job 33:5)
We should be very careful while speaking anything about anyone. As we will be judged on the words we have spoken. There has to be order in your words. Think before speaking!!

5. Order in Steps ( Psalms 37.23)
Psalms  37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.  

We should always think before going to places and doing things. We should ask ourselves. Would God be happy if I go to this place? Will be pleased if I do these things?

If you honour Him he will honour you.

6. Order in house ( Isaiah 38:1)
God wants order in our homes. There has to be set time for family prayer, bible reading and enjoying the fellowship of the Lord. He is a God of peace and if your home is not in peace you need to ask his help to set your house in order.

7. Order in your walk. ( Acts 21:24)

Walk lawfully and don't take matter in your own hands. Know that He is Lord and will be honoured by the heathen. He will fight your battles.

1 Corinthians  14:40  Let all things be done decently and in order. 

Saints we are living in end times. If Holy Spirit has spoken to you. Please don't harden your hearts and submit to his will.

Sinner Prayer

Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.

God Bless
