Numbers 27:1-10 (NKJV)
2 And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before
the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the
tabernacle of meeting, saying:
3 “Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company
of those who gathered together against the Lord,
in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family
because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
5 So Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spoke
to Moses, saying:
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you
shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s
brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a man
dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his
daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his
brothers.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his
father’s brothers.
Vs. 1 The Issue of
Genealogy and Lineage
Bring our sons and daughters into Calvary. Let them see, embrace
and follow Jesus all their days.
Sort out their roots-
let them have a clear, definite and tangible encounter with Jesus.
Cause there to be an
end {a full stop} to their old/sinful/natural life and bring them into the
divine life.

Vs. 2 What to Stand
For
Let the totality of their passion; audacity; sacrifice; strength;
resources; ambition be to promote Christ the hope of glory.
Help them willingly
offer and lay down their lives in order to
gain Christ.
The allure,
temptation and offer of this world- though persistent must find no space in
their hearts.
Hebrews 11:23-25. As
they grow up, help them refuse to be known as the sons/daughters of
darkness.
Help them choose to be persecuted along with other people of God rather
than to enjoy the pleasures of sin. Help them regard disgrace for the sake of
Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt.
Vs.3 Alliance with
not against Christ
Attitudes that
typifies a Korathite:
- Rebellion against God; a puffed up and exaggerated sense of one self; deviant behaviour; not willing to submit in discipleship or to spiritual authority; unbendable; unteachable; thinking that the can equally do or exceed the labour of their disciplers; always questioning and challenging God but with a proud heart; cause schism in the body.
- Open their eyes and help them discern all avenues with the intent to make them turn against God. {Worldly norms; rights to freedom and liberty; music, internet etc.}
Vs. 4 What Ought to
Be the Sum Total of Their Lives?
- Make their life cry be to ensure that the Life of Jesus has continuity; to ensure that His life is palpable, touchable and real through them.
- Cripple and paralyse the works of darkness for God’s kingdom to come!!!
Vs. 5 Their
Inheritance Inside Christ
- Settle them inside Christ. Bring them into their inheritance and make them part of the labour for revival - in their career and in their homes. Grant that they will have disciples’ homes to bring up godly seed.
