Within our focus verse, we read a message God gave to Moses for the children of Israel, where He refers to the Israelites as priests. Romans chapter 11 tells us, that we have been grafted into the vine of the children of Israel. Therefore, God has ordained us to be His priests, ministers, and servants, as well. It is important to note here that the root, which is Israel, blesses and supports us, the vine. Remember that we need our roots in order to survive and thrive. 

Jesus was born to a Jewish mother of the Israeli Tribe of Judah, which happened just as it had been prophesied hundreds of years prior to his birth. As Christians, our roots are in Israel. Remember, we did not take the place of the Jews, nor are we greater than they. Our salvation and blessings come to us from Jesus Christ, Who was born a Jew.

In these end times, it is of vital importance that we are about our Father’s business. We must be a living testimony for the Kingdom of Heaven. Our lifestyles must reflect Jesus. When people look at us, they must see him through our words, actions, and reactions. In everything we do, we must exemplify him.  

To whom has God called you to live as a holy example? With whom has He prompted you to share His salvation message? For whom have you been called to lift to Him fervently in prayer? Are you faithful to the call He has given you? Now is the time to gather the end-time harvest for which you are responsible.  

Querido Padre Celestial,

I praise You for grafting my family and I into Your vine. I give You glory that You did not leave us out of Your salvation plan. I understand that just as You ordained the Israelites as priests and ministers, You have also placed that calling upon me. I am honored to be used by You in these last days, to guide others to You. It is a huge mandate, but I know You created me and will give me Your wisdom for such a time as this. Father, I pray over each one that You will use me to reach, asking You to give them an undivided and soft heart so they may be led to You and will follow You, and keep Your commandments. Lead me, Lord, as I lead them. In the name of our Jewish Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.  

As you were reading today’s questions in the devotion, which individuals came to mind? Make a list of names and pray Ezekiel 11:19-20 over each one, and ask God to show you exactly when and how to minister to them. As you hear God speak, write down His answers next to the names. Remember, though, for some, He may not give you the answer ahead of time, rather He will place you in a situation and give you His wisdom. Either way, be sure to follow His prompting.
