\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numbers 17:1\u201313, Aaron\u2019s rod. <\/b>Aaron\u2019s rod that budded is a picture of what? Who was the rod or Branch from the stem of Jesse that budded forth with spiritual life for all those who will place their faith in him? Spiritual life for you and me came from what dead tree? Can we not see that Yeshua and the message of the gospel is at the center of everything in the Bible from the beginning to the end? Can there be any doubt that Yeshua is the Messiah? Only he fulfilled all the prophetic types and shadows that we find in the Tanakh (Old Testament).<\/p>\n

Aaron\u2019s ministry was anointed of YHVH. The rod represented his authority and its budding represented the fruitfulness of his ministry. It points to the ministry of Yeshua. If we are disciples and imitators of Yeshua, aren\u2019t we to be doing what Yeshua did\u2014bearing fruit as he did?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is your ministry anointed of YHVH? What are the spiritual fruits being born from it? Are people\u2019s lives being changed for the good because of your spiritual example, or are you living in delusion of your self-promoting ministry thinking that you are called and anointed of YHVH when in reality you are self appointed like the rebels who challenged Aaron?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we are to be pleasing to YHVH we must periodically ask ourselves these hard questions and stay accountable before YHVH.<\/p>\n
