And the
children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they
pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their
families, according to the house of their fathers. (Numbers 2: 34).
Let every thing be done decently and in order is a well known directive
to Christian believers in the Evangelical Church. Order, beauty and design are
built into Christian worship and Christian service.
SELECTED PEOPLE
The children of Israel
The people of God in this instance were following the Lord led by Moses
who was without doubt, high among the greatest leaders the world has known.
Historical fact.
Each of the great tribes and families of Israel divided in massive groups
moved as one. Feet in the sand, with hearts and minds in tune with heaven and
destiny.
STANDARDS HELD HIGH
Pitched by their Standards
Each group had their personal colourful and particular standard. Each
Flag-standard with a copyright design. It was all in order each to their
own, yet overall all walking,, working and worshipping the Lord with a single
purpose. Strength in unity and strength in purpose.
No place here for those folk
who feel the need to walk alone, unable to join with any group or fellowship
because they do not meet a particular standard
or hobby- horse doctrine of
the ‘I'm doing it my way’ with an axe to grind and an answer to every
spiritual problem in Christendom. Lonely, bitter with no standard of any colour
or description. May they rejoin a Christian group or Christian fellowship and
rediscover the joy of their salvation.
SO THEY SET FORWARD
And so they set forward.
Christian believers everywhere including the Fellowship of Evangelical
Ministries, as the ‘Fellowships of the House of Israel’ before, is set to go
forward and to go forward together. Not purpose driven but gently led by the
Holy Spirit giving insight and
inspiration through the pulsating truth of the living Word of God. The Bible the
book of our fathers which added to the pattern of our nation.
Christians are aware of past history and of heritage and remain people of
‘The Book’.
SHOWING REGARD TO FAMILY AND NATION
Every one after their families.
