Daily Rhema: SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD: THE BURNT OFFERING

Revelation 8:3 KJV
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

In our devotional yesterday, we studied the New Testament Melchizedek priesthood equivalent of the peace and meal offerings. Today, we will conclude by examining the New Testament Melchizedek priesthood equivalent of the burnt offering.

The burnt offering is done by:

1. Confession of sins.

2. Drawing life using the Name of Jesus and the written Word.

3. Praying in the Spirit with all types of prayer (Eph. 6: 18, 1Tim. 2:1 and see our book A Practical Guide to Prayer for more details): petition, supplication, groaning or travail or intercessions (Rom. 8:26) and thanksgiving.

Praying in the Spirit with all kinds of prayer makes this a burnt offering because the fire of the Holy Spirit generated and released in prayer burns up the sin nature in the soul and physical body. The scriptures calls this a living sacrifice (Mk. 9:49, Rom. 12:2).

You need to offer up this burnt offering for different areas of your life on a regular basis:

1. As a daily habit for yourself, to become more conformed to the image of Christ (Col. 4:12; Rom. 8:13).

2. Weekly or monthly for members of your immediate family: wife, husband, children, siblings for them to be more conformed to the image of Christ (Gal. 4:19).

3. Weekly or monthly for your healing and health; protection from physical death and your property from damage, loss and theft; going to bed early and waking up early to pray; finances; vocational and spiritual service in the church; salvation of members of your extended family.

Offering up burnt offerings on a regular basis, or being under the covering of a spiritual father or leader who does, creates an open heaven.

Through this, your peace and meal offerings will be effective (they maybe acceptable but not as effective as they could be): rising to God as a sweet smelling savour.

The peace, meal and burnt offerings have included in them sin offerings: to keep our spirits clean from any spot of sin when we offer them (1Jn. 1:7-9).

It is when we individually and collectively, in the unity of love, offer up sin, meal, peace and burnt offerings effectively, that the glory of God will be made manifest in the Church in this hour as typified in Aaron (Lev. 9:6-7, 22-24).
