MINISTERING TO HIM

“They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister unto Me, and they shall keep My charge.”
(Ezekiel 44”16)

There is an order of “righteous sons” who become priests of the Most high God, who enter into His dwelling place, and come near to His table, a table that is prepared for our Lord to partake of. Not a table that we go unto, to feast at ourselves, but a table that is HIS, where we shall minister unto Him. Our worship is toward Him, so that He is the one Who shall be satiated – bringing joy to Him, for His pleasure.

We know all about ‘our table’ for He constantly “prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,” (Ps. 23:5). “Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s,” (Ps. 103:5). We praise God for His bountiful blessings to us-ward, as He meets our needs, body, soul and spirit.

But how many of us have ever thought, when we awoke in the morning, “Lord, is there anything that I might place on YOUR TABLE today, that I might minister unto You?” The Melchizedec priesthood is an order that, first of all, will minister unto the Lord. They may also minister unto those in the court, but that is secondary. But there is a deepening desire in the heart of His elect to how, and what it truly means to minister unto Him. To be able to bring to His table that which will bring pleasure to His heart. To be able to “worship Him in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him,” (John 4:23).

Surely there is a realm of communion where we can share the very secrets of His heart. Where, rather than being so self-centered on what God can do for us, we are able to “GIVE UNTO THE LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come before Him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,” (I Chronicles 16:28-29).

Lord, “for Thy pleasure we are and were created,” (Revelations 4:11)
