The song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb


And they [a]sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
“Great and wonderful and awe-inspiring are Your works [in judgment],
O Lord God, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all];
Righteous and true are Your ways,
O King of the [b]nations! Revelation 15:3


The Lamb here is our Lord Jesus Christ; the ministry of the Lord Jesus and that of Moses are very similar in a number of ways and so the song of Moses and the song of the Lord is a similar song. It is a song of deliverance and salvation.

The song of Moses is a song of deliverance and salvation for Israel but the song of the Lamb is a song of deliverance and salvation for the whole world; all mankind, tongue and race notwithstanding because He is the Lamb that was slain and purchased men unto God
And they sang a new song [of glorious redemption], saying,
“Worthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9

The song of Moses is a shadow of things to come but the song of the Lamb is the real image of the thing that has already come. The song of Moses sings of salvation and deliverance from slavery of Egypt but the song of the Lamb sings of salvation and deliverance from slavery of sin and Satan.

The blood of calf and bulls were the seal for the song of Moses but the Blood of the Lamb without blame sealed the song of the lamb. There is an eternal and once for all sacrifice by the Lamb but a continuous yet imperfect sacrifice for the song of Moses. The song of Moses pacifies the wrath of God but the song of the Lamb wipes away God’s wrath.

BLESSED ABOVE LIMIT

You are not blessed because you are rich; you are rich because you are blessed. There are so many people that are in possession of money and riches that are not blessed. Often when blessing is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is money, riches, and wealth. But these are just a part to it but never the whole to it. Because many seem to lack this understanding, they do even the unthinkable to have it money. I say have because in essence they are not blessed; the wealth is gotten by their effort and lacked the blessing of God. Also it is not in man to bless himself/herself; it is God that releases blessing that makes rich – Labor not to be rich Proverb 23:4. The major reason for much labor for riches is due to lack of the understanding of the nature of our blessing and the mindset of lack developed over a long time. This mindset has much become part of many yet effort are not been made to deal with this mindset. NATURE OF OUR BLESSING The blessing has a nature peculiar to i

ESSENTIALS OF PARENTING

According to Wikipedia ”Parenting (or child rearing) is a process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood”. For me I believe that parenting is a full time task and all involving. To make progress in parenting, parents must consciously take steps and make decisions that will guarantee real success. There are some basic requirements for an effective parenting; these requirements are the essentials of parenting. No doubt parenting requires some basic skills. ESSENTIALS #1 : Know that every child is unique – Children are God’s creation, God in the nature of His creation do not mass produce; the children are of same parents but different creature. Every child is a one of its kind and not one of their kinds. ESSENTIAL #2 : Make effort to understand their uniqueness. This is a task every parent must face; until their uniqueness is well appreciated, no progress is possible in parenting. Spend t

What influences your child's personality?

How a child uses his inborn traits — whether those will be strengthened or subdued — will be influenced throughout his childhood by three or four factors: 1. Relationships. Your relationship with your child will have a greater impact on him than that of any other person, so do all you can to nurture him. Also seek to help him develop mutually uplifting relations with siblings, grandparents, friends and others. 2. The way he is educated. Be involved in your child's education to ensure that your child's classroom is suited to his makeup. I'm not suggesting that you ask his teacher to cater to your child but to be sure she recognizes his personality traits, builds up his strengths, and encourages him to overcome weaknesses. In some cases, you may even decide that homeschooling is the best option for you and your child. 3. The environment in which he lives. Make sure your household provides your child a rich environment — and I'm not talking about material trappings. Tw
