Morning Tea
Mat 17:4-5 KJV 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Beloved, this is the story of the transfiguration, where Jesus body became so white and glorious that Peter and others were confused. Here we see Peter, the ever ready to talk disciple, saying things he didn't plan. So, there was Moses and Elijah; the representative of the Law and the Prophets - the totality of God's ancient work. Then there was Jesus who appeared in amazing glory. For Peter, the 3 personalities were very important and so, thanks to God that they (Peter, James and John) are there. Therefore, it's for them to build 3 tents. So that anyone can visit the either of the 3 or all, depending on his choice. But, the Father in His mercies, and to give direction to Peter's heart says "This (Jesus) is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased. Listen to Him". It means, no more Moses, no more Elijah, only Jesus. For the ministry of Moses and Elijah brought about the ministry of Jesus. Today, even within believers, there is still the ministry of Moses (those who are bent on keeping laws, rules and guidelines) and the ministry of Elijah (those that desire fire to fall on everyone who hates them and those they hate. Their focus is dramatic deliverance of all kinds). No wonder Jesus stopped John and James from calling down fire on those who opposed Jesus. Brethren in Christ, the Father says you should listen to Jesus only. No more Moses, no more Elijah. Without Jesus, all your believe and acts towards God is nothing. Repent! Focus on Christ alone, through faith alone, by Grace alone in the framework of divine Love alone.
Prayer: Dear LORD, please help me to obey in truth, Jesus Christ only and not my heart or any other influence, according to your instruction. This I pray in Christ Jesus name Amen.
