2017-02-13 CALL TO THE PRIESTHOOD

Ps.Miguel Osuna - Centro Cristiano del Este
(United Nations Park - Event "The King is calling you")

“So the people left their camp to cross the Jordan, and the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them. It was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho.

Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by. They waited there until the whole nation of Israel had crossed the Jordan on dry ground”

Joshua 3:14-17

We constantly ask God to bless us, to send someone to give us a prophetic word, to touch people´s heart to meet our needs, or that He enlarges our ministry. That is not a bad thing to pray for, it is bad when we cling to the mentality of "receiver", and forget that we can also be a "giver". We have become used to living like those Israelites that went behind the priests, waiting for them to make them cross the river in dry.

The priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant paid a price, spiritual, emotional and physical price,

that is why God made miracles through them.  How long are we going to settle for God moving his

priests to bless us? Do we not want to be one of those priests whom the Lord uses to bless others?

Those who have a calling from God were not called to ask, we were called to give, we were not called to expect another to bless us, we were called to be a blessing. It is time to be the priests of this nation, we cannot keep waiting for others to cross us dry towards the goal that we must reach, we have been chosen and endowed by the Great Creator of the universe, we are His masterpiece, but to achieve this we must pay the price of obedience to His Word and seek His presence constantly.

Are we ready to pay the price of His calling? If so, here there are some of His promises to those who

will be his priests and carry his Ark:

“If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.

“The Lord will give you prosperity in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, blessing you with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops. The Lord will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and will bless all the work you do. You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them. If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom. 

Deuteronomy 28

We can be one more of the pile or we can be the ones that God uses to guide that pile.
