_The Great Imbalance_
In the parable of the Lost Sheep the shepherd leaves the 99 and seeks out the one. He uses all his resources to find the lost. It seems the priority is backwards with the vast majority of Christian resources being used to tend the flock and few being used to seek the lost. Over 90% of all missionaries work among already reached peoples.

Summary from Respected Sources
Operation World presents data suggesting that after peaking in the mid-1990s the growth rate of both Christianity in general and Evangelicals (an approximation of true Christ-followers) has slowed significantly.

After describing numerous advances of the Gospel, Operation World states "The sobering fact is that, even with all this activity, probably 24-27% of the world’s population have not had the good news presented to them in a way they could appreciate and meaningfully respond to." (Operation World p. 10) That translates to very close to two billion individuals, one in four individuals, without any knowledge of the Savior!

Against this humbling backdrop, screaming "v-a-c-a-n-c-y: givers, goers and intercessors needed" would not be out of place.

Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend,

While we greatly appreciate all your loving support both secretly and openly, we have to keep calling for givers, goers and intercessors until we hit our target. We have about 30 volunteers at the moment but we need at least 50 more. We are yet to even hit the N50,000.0 mark of our budget in our fund raising drive (and the total budget is almost 1.8Million naira). But we trust God to do it using some of you. πŸ™πŸ½

*"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."* (Romans.14.17(KJV))

*DAILY DEW 27TH/ OCTOBER/2021*

*ENFORCING THE KINGDOM OF GOD*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."* (Romans.14.17(KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

God is good and His mercy endures forever. He has a great plan for all His creation, especially man. God is still mindful of everyone here on earth. Psalms.8.4 (KJV), says *What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?*

He is still faithful to His word that He does not want anyone to perish but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).

Indeed, the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. However, it appears that we see or find the opposite of this today. A lot of people are more subject to the devil than they are to God.

*This is must become our prayer today: "Oh Lord, let Your kingdom come!"*

There is work to be done. There is a provision to enforce the kingdom of God here on earth which also implies to set the world right. To enforce the kingdom of God here on earth can only be achieved through the power of God in you when you receive Him. John.1.12 (KJV) says *But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name*

Accepting Christ and having His power in you is not for enjoyment alone. It is to enforce His kingdom here on earth. He has given us power that is above every other power. The power of the Lord in you is to enforce the kingdom of God, exercise the power of God in you through studying and digging deep into His Word and applying it to your daily activities. This will foster the presence of God that you carry and this in turn will be a blessing to you and your generation.

Enforce the kingdom of God and let the devil be in trouble and confusion because you received Christ. Stand for holiness, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into Him and they are safe. When you take cover in JESUS he takes over your life, so you can take over your world- as you enforce His Kingdom!

MEDITATION:
*The kingdom of God must be established because you received Christ. What are you waiting for?!*

*CONTROL YOUR ANGER*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools". (Ecclesiastes 7:9 (ESV.))*

_Bible Insight:_

Mehn, the level of maturity that I see myself exhibiting in certain situations recently amazes me.

Like, something that would have made me react very angrily in the past would happen these days and I won't even bat an eyelid.

My reactions these days dey even shock me. πŸ˜‚

I know that my relationship with God has become deepened than it used to be, but then I don't know if I should attribute this new level of maturity to that or if it is just old age playing out or if it's a combination of both. You know old age is nobody's mate. 😜

That being said, the truth is that some fights are just not worth the energy at all.

Most often than not, we allow ourselves to be so eaten up by an offense or a particular situation that we exert so much energy that should have been channeled into something more rewarding into responding to an event that can actually be overlooked or at most responded to with lesser force. This is how some of us have ended up blowing things out of proportion for ourselves thereby landing into a bigger shit.

Does it mean you should always let things go unattended to? Absolutely not, however, you can learn how to determine what offense is truly worth your energy, how to respond in a calmer way that will not get in the way of your mental wellbeing, and above all, how to shock people by simply pressing the ignore button, especially those who do certain "evil" on purpose just to trigger you to make you act stupidly. Remember that some of these people are the ones who will not hesitate to make a video of your stupid moments to post online just to tarnish your image. It might surprise you to know that some offense is geared towards triggering you to do stupid things that can be used against you in the future, this is why you need to be wise enough to think through certain stuff before responding.

MEDITATION:
*Don't always be swift to respond especially when you are angry. Do not make your heart a home for anger, doing that will only label you a fool even if you think you are not.*

*DAILY DEW 25TH/ OCTOBER/2021*

*A GAMBLER OR AN INVESTOR* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.* (Proverbs 22:3 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
The gamblers, for example, are those who fail to give tithes and follow other divine and natural principles of financial breakthrough, and still wonder why they are not prosperous. But who are the investors?

I liken the investors to the ants. Proverbs 30:25 (KJV) says *"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;"* The ants are investors in this context. They don't wish that all will be well in the winter (coldest/rainy) and play away the summer (hottest/sunny) season.

You can't wish away the seasons of life. There will always be seed times and harvest times. When we play away the seed planting season, we will be horrible and regretful during the harvest seasons.

Many older persons live in regret wishing they can turn back the hands of time. If you are relatively young and reading this, how are you making investments for you short, medium and long term harvest?

Your destiny is in your hands because God have placed you in charge of it. Yes, you can surrender your destiny to God but God cannot do for you what He has created to do through you.

Don't be among those who waste the opportunities life throw at them, but later run to beg others and depend on others to meet up. You don't have anyone to blame even if you started off with some bit of a disadvantaged background. Maximize the seasons of your life. Be an investor and not a gambler.

MEDITATION:
*The man who blames other people for his misfortune is as irresponsible as the one who depends on others to be successful. Taking responsibility for your life is the beginning of power.* -- Sam Chiaka

*DAILY DEW 24TH/ OCTOBER/2021*

*A GAMBLER OR AN INVESTOR*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.* (Galatians 6:7 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
We fail to do a lot of things but we still expect things to work out well, claiming that God will just have mercy on or favour us, that's a gambling spirit.

When we ought to pray or read our bible daily, but let other things take that time, and still assume that all will be well, with our spiritual growth, that's a gambling spirit.

When we ought to go out and do evangelism with the rest of the church, or even alone, but we allow other activities to take that place, and we just assume that God will understand, that's a gambling spirit.

When we ought to save for the rainy day, or read well and prepare hard to pass an exam or test, but we do otherwise, and hope that somehow God will take control, that's a gambling spirit at work.

The will of God for you as a son, is that you are wise enough to do all things decently and in order, putting priority in the right things, and taking no responsibility for granted.

Are you a gambler or an investor? An investor does what he or she needs to do because of a certain outcome they are expecting. You can't plant laziness and reap prosperity.

MEDITATION:
*For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.* (Galatians 6:8 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 23RD/ OCTOBER/2021*

*Faith And Works*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.* (Romans 3:20 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
This passage deals with true faith and counterfeit faith.

Counterfeit faith is dead (v.17). Why is it dead? It does not have works. And the works James is talking about is works of love (v.15-16). Jesus talks about such faith in Matthew 25 in the parable of sheep and goats. People who enter God’s kingdom don’t just claim to have faith, but demonstrate this faith by compassion and love. True faith results in good works and bears fruit (John 15:5-6).

Counterfeit faith is deceptive (v.18). True faith is not just intellectual, theoretical or some kind of feeling. It is accompanied by a transformed life. Even demons believe and fear God. Our pious life, good intentions, religious duty, and church attendance can be deceptive if not accompanied by a transformed heart and life. Jesus says we have to be born again.

True faith is illustrated by Abraham and Rahab. In v.21, Abraham was justified by works and in v.24 Rahab was also justified by works. Does this contradict Ephesians 2:8 and Romans 3:20 which says no one will be justified by works?

Paul and James are not contradicting each other. Paul is talking about justification and James is talking about demonstration. You cannot be justified by works, rather we are justified by grace alone, through faith alone and in Christ alone. However, this justified faith is never alone, but accompanied, validated and demonstrated by works of love.

Abraham believed in the promise of God, and it resulted in his act of offering Isaac on the altar. Rahab believed in the promise of God, and it resulted in providing refuge for the spies and risking her own life.

True faith is trusting God’s means to save us through Christ. True faith results in putting our life, hopes, dreams and decisions on the line and choosing to trust and obey God, even when it does not make sense or it's inconvenient to us.

MEDITATION:
*How do we know if we are being transformed by the gospel? What can be the evidence for our genuine walk with Christ? How do we know our faith is real?*

*DAILY DEW 19TH/OCTOBER/2021*

*NOT NATURAL* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.* (John 13:34-35 (KJV))

*NOT NATURAL* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.* (John 13:34-35 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

The love Christ laid down for us to emulate is not natural- a love that cares for the loveless and unlovable. Christ did not die for some group of nice people who wanted to do some good in the world. Actually, the reverse was the case. Christ died for a bunch of people who do nothing but some evil in this world. And in case, you're wondering, that includes you and I.

It would have been probably easier to die for some bunch of jolly good fellows who wanted to do some good in the world. But how do you die for folks who did nothing but sin and careless about God? Such is the love that Christ set for us to emulate.

The Love Jesus gave us is one that cares for those who do not care; one that forgives those who do not forgive; one that respects those who do not respect

A love that prays for one's enemies and sincerely desires good for them. This is not a love that says, love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is a limited version of love. This love says, love your neigbour first, before loving yourself. How else did Jesus love us?

*"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you..."*

This love is never natural! It is supernatural!

*MEDITATION*
*Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].* (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (AMP))

*NOT NATURAL*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].*

*DAILY DEW 18TH/OCTOBER/2021*

*NOT NATURAL*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].*
(1 Corinthians 13:7 (AMP))

_Bible Insight:_

It is interesting that some people believe that love is natural. Many argue that love comes and is expressed naturally. Actually, nothing can be more deceitful and untrue than such empty claims without proof.

If love was truly natural, nations will not be rumpled and embroiled in man made insecurities, economic destabilization and political turmoil.

If love was natural, every love at first sight case would lead to lasting marriages and every high school sweetheart stories will never fade away.

If love was natural, parents will not abandon their children; husbands will not desert or divorce their wives and children, or wives abandon their children and husbands.

If love was natural, there would never be hatred, robberies, senseless killings, ritual killings, kidnappings, banditry, and all kinds of evil today.

Love is NOT natural and never can be. In fact, the only thing that is natural is lying, hatred, stealing, cheating, and all manner of evil. That's why you find so many living in such patterns because many cannot even help it. They are naturally sinful.

The Love that God demands of us is not natural. It is not fleeting nor self serving. It does not seek to achieve its own purpose but God's purposes. It does not do good to only those who are nice and lovely. It strives to do good to the unlovable and the difficult.

This love is SUPERnatural. It is born of God's nature and exist by the Spirit's influence. It is not motivated by nor dependent on fickle human feelings. It doesn't come and go and is not dependent on convenience.

It is actually hard work and not simply nice gestures that come by instincts. It is a determination to live daily by a code of conduct that copies the ways of God. For God is love.

*MEDITATION*
*A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.* (John 13:34-35 (KJV))

*The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.* --Psalms 68:11 (KJV)

*And the gospel must first be published among all nations.* -- Mark 13:10 (KJV)

The Khampa, Northern in China do not have any portion of the Bible in their language. To make, not just a convert, but a disciple of Jesus requires the Scriptures to be available in the mother tongue. Bible translation agencies report that approximately 1,800 languages have definite translation need.

That means for mother-tongue speakers of those 1,800 languages no Scripture exists at all. They may have limited access to the Scriptures in trade or major languages, but no access in their heart language. Of course the languages with the larger number of speakers have been translated but many millions of individuals still do not have the Scriptures in their mother-tongue.

Even if the Scriptures are translated and news media available, an estimated 1 billion adults are considered illiterate. *Much of this is concentrated in only eight countries (Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan) all countries with very high concentrations of unreached people groups.*

Extremely low literacy rates are concentrated in three regions, the Arab states, South and West Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, again highly unreached regions. World Factbook.

In addition 60% of the world’s population is considered oral learners meaning their preferred learning mode is oral, not written. Some estimates suggest that up to 70% of the unreached peoples of the world are oral-preferenced communicators. For those that are either illiterate or oral learners, newspapers, books, printed matter, internet text, even a physical Bible will have minimal impact. International Orality Network
(Source: Joshuaproject)

Think about the fact that these are hard facts the church must contend with as long as we believe the mandate Jesus gave to the church.

_Key Bible Text:_
*For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what...

*FIGHT*

_Key Bible Text:_
*For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.*
(Galatians 5:17 (AMP))

_Bible Insight:_

The toughest battles I have ever fought were battles between what I knew and what I felt.

I see divine truth as stated in God's word, but sometimes my feelings say something else.

I see God's word says that if I believe in Jesus who died for my sin and was raised for my justification, then I have salvation by faith, without works. But I don't always feel saved. I have to learn to ignore my feelings and focus on Jesus.

I see God's high standard of walking in holiness and consecration, yet I find that sometimes I have to fight my feeling so it can conform to God's standard.

I see God's word tells me of my permanent victory in Christ, of my greatness in Him, but I have to force my feelings to agree in the face of staggering oppositions.

I see God's word tells me the gifts of the Spirit are mine, that the sick will be healed through my hands, but I have to bring my mind into subjection to it and insist until it complies to the truth of God's word.

I think this is a fight I must keep fighting and keep winning as I walk on in my Christian faith.

When the feeling of sickness attacks me, the feeling of sorrow, the feeling of pain, the sense of loss or lack, and all the challenges of this life, I have to insist on God's word, inspite of how I feel.

God's word alone is truth. Anything contrary is a lie.

I have come to realize that my circumstances and feelings will not always automatically agree with or reflect what God's word says, so I fight to ensure it aligns to God's word.

I believe this is an honourable fight for the sons of God on earth. I think we will keep engaging in this fight until we put off this body of flesh. I believe this will be the basis of our eternal reward on that day.

So dear believer, fight!

*PRAYER HABIT- THE MISSING LINK*

_Key Bible Text:_
*And as a widow even for eighty-four years. She did not go out from the temple enclosure, but was worshiping night and day with fasting and prayer.*
(Luke 2:37 (AMP))

_Bible Insight:_

Anybody who is interested in making a headway in spiritual matters must be given to prayer.

There are no alternatives.

There's no man who has ever amounted to anything worthwhile with God that wasn't a man of prayer and meditation on God's truth.

All religions pray.

The very fact that all religions take prayer as an integral part of their worship shows you that there's something about prayer that connects man to the supernatural.

Yet we know that only in Christ do we have unhindered access to the fullness of God's power.

Since you have access to God's inexhaustible wealth in Christ why not give yourself to prayer much more?

If you withdraw yourself from speaking vainly and from gadding idly, from watching everything you see on TV, and from going after novelties and rumours, you will have enough time suitable for prayer and meditation on godly things.

That favorite TV series that has taken all your evenings until you're too tired to pray at night why not give it up?

The pleasure of sleep that keeps you on bed untill the time you have to hurry off to work and you're unable to pray every morning, when will you deal with it?

Or perhaps it's your phone that keeps you away from prayer?

Hear the Apostles:
Acts 6:4
But we will give ourselves CONTINUALLY to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Prayer must be a habit.

He who intends to grow in the grace of Christ must learn to depart from the multitude and everything else frequently, just like Jesus.

I said FREQUENTLY.

We so love to talk a lot but silence is more helpful many times.

We love the company of our friends but a withdrawal is better many times.

We love pleasure so much, yet true pleasure is only experienced as the flesh is denied.

Leave vain things to vain people sir.
Shut your door behind you and commune with Jesus your beloved. Stay frequently with Him; you won't find a greater peace anywhere else.

Give yourself to prayer and so you too can be a blessing to your world.

It's a beautiful day today.
Use it well.

*MEDITATION*
*And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers..*

*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED*

*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.* (Matthew 13:52 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

*The Old & New Testament Have Treasures for the New Creation Man*

A lot of times we believers ruled out certain things in the name of it is under the Old Testament. Some go as far as wrongly including the idea that tithe is for Old Testament. Granted that certain things do not apply under the New Testament, for example, you don't need any intermediary priest to ask for God's forgiveness. However, there are certain teachings that align both in the New and Old Testament and these must be richly discerned and taught.

Striving to get a balance in the body of Christ can only be achieved when doctrines and teachings align. A lot of division and confusion breeds in the body of Christ because many believers fail to take time to study the word, rather than accept man made commandments and traditions passed down as true doctrines. To keep balance in the body of Christ, we must keep balance in the doctrines of Christ as understood and taught by believers

We are going to consider two major ideas/teachings that are very relevant to the believer even in this Holy Spirit Era. The first is the teaching about the wrath of God vs the love of God. The second is related, but different, that is, the love of God vs the fear of God.

God willing, we shall receive more light as we look at these two together. While we are at it, would you agree that the Love of God is the only factor that leads men to salvation? Or do you think apart from the love of God, an understanding of the wrath of God is key if an individual would be receptive to the Gospel?

You could share your thoughts with a friend or share your thought with us as a comment. Pray that the Lord will give you insight into His word so that you may have balance.

Remain blessed.

*MEDITATION*
*All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.* (2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV))

*When you read the Bible, and you see deliberate and meticulous mention of numbers, tribes, names, and measurements etc that you never can think of what use they may be to you, do you disregard them completely or still read them simply because it is written?*

Hold that thought for a moment!

In our previous update, we considered the *unreached people groups*, and noted some sobering facts about just the 50 largest unreached people groups. We continue today with more stats:

Consider for example -

πŸ™πŸ½the 135,000,000 unreached Shaikh of Bangladesh,
πŸ™πŸ½the 59,000,000 unreached Brahman of India,
πŸ™πŸ½58,000,000 unreached Yadav of India or
πŸ™πŸ½the 37,000,000 unreached Java Pesisir Lor of Indonesia,
most of the individuals in these groups and thousands of other unreached people groups are completely ignorant of the King of Kings. 😌

(Source: Joshuaproject)

In subsequent updates, we will bring you more information. "But why?", You ask. Why would the Bible contain lists of names and places, tribes etc that we may never relate to and yet we know there is a reason behind them. How much more must we consider these details?
We must bear in mind that these are people or souls that may or may not become saved or ever hear the Gospel at least, depending on our response to the challenge!
Please pray for these souls and ask the Lord to help you to know what you can and must do.

Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend,

*The Advent of the Man Behind the Shadows* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect.* (Hebrews 9:9 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

*The Insufficiency of the Old Order*

The old order utilized outward rules to engage the worshipers. Rules touching drink, foods and various purification processes. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time when God will establish the new order-- which new order, we have since entered!

Christ came as the High Priest of the good things that are already present in this new order. The tent in which He serves is greater and more perfect; it is not a tent made by human hands, that is, it is not a part of this created world but heavenly.

When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, He did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, He took His own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. Hallelujah!!

In contrast with the old order, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a burnt calf are sprinkled on the people who are ritually unclean, and this purifies them by taking away their ritual impurity.

This shows us the amazing power and great accomplishment of the the precious blood of Christ! Christ through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood has the added benefit of not only ceremoniously and temporarily cleansing us, but it will purify our consciences from useless rituals, so that we may serve the living God.

*MEDITATION*
*For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect.* (Hebrews 9:15 (GNB))

*The Advent of the Man Behind the Shadows* (I)

_Key Bible Text:_
*The first covenant had rules for worship and a place made for worship as well.* (Hebrews 9:1 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

*The Old Order of Worship*

A brief understanding of the old order of worship is necessary for those in Christ to understand the privilege and responsibility bestowed upon us.

The old order of worship was tied to a physical location and settings. A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God.

Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron's stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. {Items which were symbolic in the Most Holy Place}

Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God's presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. But now is not the time to explain everything in detail. (So sins and atonement for same must be done in the Most Holy Place)

This is how those things have been arranged. The priests go into the outer tent every day to perform their duties,
but only the high priest goes into the inner tent (The Most Holy Place), and he does so only once a year. He takes with him blood which he offers to God on behalf of himself and for the sins which the people have committed without knowing they were sinning.

These were symbolic patterns or arrangements which would now, in this dispensation, reveal their truest meanings or significance.

*MEDITATION*
*The Holy Spirit clearly teaches from all these arrangements that the way into the Most Holy Place has not yet been opened as long as the outer tent still stands.* (Hebrews 9:9 (GNB))
