The Messengers of God

UV 447/10,000 The messenger of the Lord Mal 2:7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts Today, those who are competent in information technology are called knowledge workers. But, the ultimate knowledge that affects us both immediately and for ever is the personal knowledge of the Lord of hosts. This knowledge imparts wisdom to us as we know what to do and when to do it. The Lord uses the lips of such as those who know Him personally to be His messengers. Every believer is a priest and a king in His kingdom. Every believer carries a message from the Lord to the church and the world at large. We cannot add anything to the message that the Lord gives. We are enjoined to preserve the message without distorting it. When we realize that we are messengers of the Lord, we will feel a great sense of responsibility. We carry the message of the Lord to the people and carry the burden of the people to the Lord. This was the role being performed by Moses. People should seek the truths concerning God, salvation, sin, suffering and eternal life from us. This uni-verse also places the responsibility of people to listen to the messengers sent by God. Our response should be one of respect and reverence for the message and accept it as the Word from the Lord. The messenger of God should not speak the Lord’s message in return for material or monetary gifts. We must not violate the covenant of Levi- not to exchange the truth for allurements of the world. We must not compromise or be partial. Prateep V Philip
