Discerning as Leadership
PRAYER - "Blessings"
   
God could bless anyone without needing an intercessor. Nevertheless, He instructed the priests to pronounce blessings on the people. Men of God are beneficial to us. Though we should always want to bless people conflicts can hinder unless we direct their their energy.

Numbers 6:23-27 - "Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them."  Let's read the story. Bible

 
PRINCIPALS - "Aholiab and Bezaleel"

Two men oversaw the creation and production of the entire tabernacle and all its furnishings, in a VAST range of workmanship - metalworkers, stone cutters, woodworkers, tailors, weavers, furniture makers, apothecaries, and more. They made everything from incense and oil to the priests robes, even the Ark of the Covenant. When God needs gives you a job, He will fully enable you. So be sober minded.

   
Exodus 36:1 - "Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentery

 
PRINCIPLES - "Sweetness"
   
God ordered sweet-smelling oil and sweet-smelling incense to be used perpetually in the tabernacle. We are so accustomed to the odious and unsavory effects of sin in the world that we forget that everything in God's universe was beautiful beyond our ability to comprehend BEFORE SIN came. God demanded that His earthly house be as beautiful and pleasing as it could be, reminding us that in His presence are pleasures forevermore.
   
Exodus 37:29 - "And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary." Let's read the story. Bible

PROPHECIES - "The Holy Anointing Oil"

God called for a specially  holy anointing oil to be used in the Tabernacle. The proprietary apothecary formula was forbidden to ANYONE outside the Tabernacle. It had myrrh, cinnamon, calumus, cassia, and olive oil, all in specific measurements. Everything in the Tabernacle had to be anointed (rubbed) with it, including the priests. This oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit which, in the New Testament church, comes to fill every believer God creates the enviroment for success in leading.
   
Exodus 30:25 - "And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentery
