HAVE YOU ever rejected something because of it's 'age', thus neglecting
it's value and purpose?
Deuteronomy 32:7-8 says: "Think about past generations. Ask your
parents or any of your elders. They will tell you that God Most High gave
land to every nation. He assigned a guardian angel to each of them"
TODAY, I INVITE YOU to pray with me that our Native people and those
serving in Native Ministry will be encouraged to pursue Christ, as well as
seek, respect and remember the ancient ways of our Creator.
The Lord said in Jeremiah 6:16, "My people, when you stood at the
crossroads, I told you, "Follow the road your ancestors took, and you
will find peace."
Ask our Creator to allow our First Nations people and those serving in
Native Ministry to consider the days of old, the years of many
generations, and allow them to ask our fathers and elders about Him.
The scriptures pertaining to 'ancient', whether from CEV, NIV or
KJV, use the Hebrew word (#5769) meaning ‘continuing out of sight and
out of mind’, implying eternal, always, and perpetual. It does NOT mean
something that only had meaning in the past. Often the Body of Christ will
misinterpret these Scriptures, quickly suggesting that our people forsake
the teachings and ways of our ancestors. We need to look at our ways, and
those of our ancestors, as they reflect our Creator, not based on how old
or new they are.
ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES: Psalm 119:52; Isaiah 46:10-13; Isaiah
64:4-9; Jeremiah 6:16; Jeremiah 18:15; Ezekiel 35:5-6; Daniel 7:13-14 NIV.
