Good Teaching

By | Eyesalve

“Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.” I Samuel 3:9-10

 

Even an old backslidden priest can teach someone how to serve God. Eli instructed Samuel that when he hears his name called again say, “Speak, Lord; for thy servant hears.” That is some good teaching.

Eyesalve: Influence Holiness

By | Eyesalve

“And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.” Exodus 28:3

 

Just as the Lord filled men with the spirit of wisdom to help make, or can I say, influence their holiness, so too can the brethren be beneficial to our holiness. As the body ministers, in love, to one another through exhortation and reproof, if it is received, it will help to purify us and produce holiness in our life. However, we must be filled with the Spirit to be able to ever influence another’s holiness.

Eyesalve: Put On Christ

By | Eyesalve

“And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. 3And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 4And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.”Ex. 28:2-4

It was quite a big deal, the making of all the priestly garb which the Old Testament priests were to wear. The rest of chapter 28 goes into a great detail about these priestly garments. It tells us what kind of material to use, what color, the size and other things. I am sure glad that God made it much simpler in our generation. We are to put on Christ. Hallelujah.
