Offering Of Sacrifices

By

Prophet Hananiah,

Prophet Mishael

And

Prophet Azariah

The Priest

Hananiah: At the end, God asked the Israelites to offer sacrifice to Him. It was Ezra who offered the sacrifice, because he was one of the priests. And various prophets were present.

Hananiah: When the offering of sacrifice was about to take place, the spirit took possession of Ezra, and he took over the offering of sacrifice. This was for the Israelites to see that any person established by God, God has indeed established the person.

When he was offering the sacrifice, Ezra raised his hands, and started to pray. And fire came down and burnt the sacrifice. Fire came from the sun, heated the sacrifice and the sacrifice was burning with fire.

Confirmations

Hananiah: The reason why God did it like that was for the Israelites to know that He has answered their prayers and forgiven their sins.

Head: And for the Israelites to know that all the reformations were true and necessary.

Hananiah: And that was God’s confirmation of all that Nehemiah and Ezra were doing according to the words of the prophets.

Head: Thanks be to God.

Hananiah: And the Israelites stopped crying, and started watching what was happening, the miracle of fire coming down from heaven and consuming the sacrifices.

Great Remorse

Hananiah: And the Israelites began to confess their ill will and evil plots against one another, to one another. One person said,

“So all these evils I was plotting in my house,

God was above seeing all of them?”

One person said to another, “Whatever I have done to you, please forgive.”

Another said to a fellow, “I stepped on your toes, and said mmeeee!, when I should have said, ‘I am sorry.’ Pease forgive me.” And brethren lived in peace. That was when the truth started coming out. the Israelites confessed their sins against one another, to one another.

A person said to another, “That time we were enemies, I was making charm against you.”

The fellow answered, “The pains in your leg, it was myself who made it so. Please forgive me.”

You could hear a person said to another, “You are asking me to forgive you? It was myself that did such and such a thing. I stole your clothes and burnt it, because I did not want you to continue to wear that beautiful dress.” And the Israelites removed various misconducts (nka nka omume) from their midst.

The Desire To Please God

Hananiah: And everybody by his own mouth said,

“What shall we do for God for God to be pleased?”

(Ka obi dỉ ya mma)?

Need For Control

Hananiah: And Ezra prayed, and God said to him, because God had seen the broken and contrite heart with which the Israelites spoke. And God knew that the Holy Spirit He put in them will keep on reminding them of their sins, of that day and of their remorse. Therefore, their hearts have to be mellowed down (mee ka ọ dajue). And for the heart which they will use to worship God to take position.

And God the Father asked them to bow down to Him, 21 time. They did not know that it was when they bowed down that the Angels came and beat the spirit and made it to mellow down.

Gifts For The Leaders

Hananiah: And people brought gifts and came before Nehemiah, Ezra and the priests, and gave the leaders various gifts, because these heads were leading them in the Paths Of Righteousness.

Exemplary Conducts

Son of man, have you seen that it is this type of purity of heart and spirit of forgiveness that God wants?

Head: Yes.

Blessings, Favours, Success And Prosperity

Hananiah: Son of man, therefore, God blessed Jerusalem;

and blessed Judea and the whole people of Israel.
