Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

February 24: Numbers 14-16; Mark 3

Scripture: Numbers (NIV) 16:46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them.

Observation: When the tabernacle of Moses was made according to the Lord’s instructions, censers were made for the priest to carry the fire behind the veil and others places where appropriate. The censer was a small portable altar. The fire in the censer could only come from the fire over which the sacrifices were offered. The coals were soaked in the blood of the sacrifice. That fire was never to be allowed to go out. It was to be tended every morning and evening.

Application: Jesus made the ultimate offering for sin on the cross of Calvary. My life is a portable censer to carry the fire from that altar into the Presence of God and into the world around me. The honor of my life is to carry the passion of Jesus into the Father’s Presence. His passion was, “Not my will but thine be done!” The purpose of my life is to carry the passion of the Father into the world around me with the message that God so loved the world…

Prayer: Holy Spirit, continue to reveal the honor and purpose of carrying the good news of Jesus death and resurrection. May passion continually burn within. Amen
