What Tribe are You? Numbers 2

 

Numbers 2 What Tribe are You?

 

The tabernacle was placed in the camp and the children of Israel would camp around it.  They would put up their standards to mark their place in the camp.  On the East side Judah, Issachar ad Zebulun camped together under one standard.  On the South was Reuben, Simeon, and Gad. On the west side was Manasseh, Benjamin, and Ephraim.  The North was Asher, Naphtali, and Dan.  The Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel. 

The children had to know their pedigree to know their place in camp.  They could not go to war unless they were sure of their position.  Our enemies today are the world, the flesh, and the devil.  They will overcome you if you are not sure of your salvation. 

All service in the church is to be directed by the Holy Spirit.  We are told that by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body.  “For as the body is one and has many members, being many, are one body: so also, is Christ.  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond, or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.  For the body is not one member but many.”  I Cor. 12:12-14. So in the body of Christ there are many gifts and each of us is to exercise his/her gift. We need to find our place in camp and do the job that God has called us to do.
