“Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.”
1 Chronicles 27:1 KJV
This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers’ houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000. Service to God and king was well organised. In the new covenant it is the same because God is the author of order, not of confusion. This is how it is in all gatherings of the saints. Even when the mighty Holy Spirit is moving, bringing deliverance and healing, the end result is always righteousness, peace and joy. That’s the Kingdom of God which the Church has the responsibility to bring on earth as it is in heaven. The manifestations of such deliverances and healing may sometimes be bizarre, but the end result is righteousness, peace and joy. The Church is the gateway to heaven on earth. Let’s all who believe in Christ’s finished work, be vessels of honour bringing heaven on earth. Amen!
