City of Refuge

Topic: City of Refuge

Memory Verse:  In the fear of the Lord, there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. Proverbs 14:26

Main Texts: Numbers 35:24-28

Word For Thought: The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.

The City of Refuge is a place of safety, defense and restoration. It was a city instructed by God,  appointed as a place of asylum for unintentional murderers. According to the law, anyone who committed a murder was to be put to death as in Exodus 21:14. But for unintentional deaths, God set aside the City of Refuge to which the murderer could flee for refuge as in Exodus 21:13. He would be safe from the avenger or the family member charged with avenging the victim’s death as also in Numbers 35:19.

Until the case could go to trial. The congregation would judge to find if the attacker acted unintentionally. If he did, he would return to the city of refuge and live there safely until the death of the high priest who was in office at the time of the trial, at which point he could return to his property and if the attacker left the city of refuge before the death of the high priest, however, the avenger would have the right to kill him as read in our main text today.

We all have a place of refuge. It is the most secret place, where our sins are forgiven and remembered no more. Our refuge place is the place of healing when sickness has taken over your body completely. In that case, you stress, panic and in fear, but when you encounter the healer in faith, then you are restored into good health. Today may you received God’s supernatural protection in Jesus name.

Note this: 

God loves you and wants to set you free. Salvation is the gateway for divine blessings. If you are not born again, you are not free. If you want to be born again today by giving your life to Christ, or you want to renew your faith,  please pray this prayer 

“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
