Today's reading: Numbers 26:1-22

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
John 11:44

Christ, the Victor over death (3)
Lazarus had been dead for four days. Corruption had already set in. Nevertheless, the Lord cried out with a powerful voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" and the miracle happened. The dead man left the tomb in the power of the new life granted him. So the Lord told those standing by to free him and let him go. The graveclothes should no longer hinder his freedom to move about.
Similarly, those who have been brought from spiritual death to eternal life through Jesus Christ often have habits, ideas and inclinations from the past. Since the life of faith is a learning process, it is helpful if they have Christians with experience around them who can show understanding and help them to cast off such "graveclothes". They need to learn what true Christian liberty is and to walk by faith with firm steps.
On a later occasion, we again read of Lazarus with his two sisters, Mary and Martha. They were all at that noteworthy supper in Bethany where Martha was serving. The fragrant savour of worship filled the house by means of the anointing oil that Mary poured over the feet of Jesus. Of Lazarus, it is simply said that he "sat at the table" with Jesus. He is a living illustration of fellowship, which cannot be separated from worship and Christian service.

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
