Daily Words of Encouragement
By Priest Knight Scopas Juma Kamonde
Our Verse of Today (6/11/2017)
“Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed
them with water.” (Leviticus 8: 6)
The Title of Our Today’s Topic: The Sign of Baptism in the Old Testament
Summary of Our Message
From our verse of today we can
learn these very important and valuable points:
1. Aaron and
his sons had been chosen by God to serve at the tent of meeting (the official
place for God’s worship at that time and later on it was shifted or upgraded into
Temple).
2. Before
Aaron and his sons started their official work at the tent of meeting, they had
been officially and spiritually ordinated by Prophet Moses before the Israelite
community.
3.
One of the main things that had been done to them by
Prophet Moses was that they had been washed or cleansed by water before they
were dressed in their official uniform and the
process of their washing was a real sign of baptism.
My dear fellow Christians, if anyone of you have been called by God for
His ministry, it doesn’t mean that the person will start serving God directly
but there must be some official procedures to be done before the starting or
launching the work such as; official dedication or ordination by those who are in
charge or by the senior ones in the similar fields.
