Yeah, I went to church today, we celebrated our 11th year Bible week anniversary. Our theme : Seperated unto God, text was taken from Numbers 6:1-8 which talks about the Nazarite vow, the Nazarite vow entails 3 major things that was spot out in the scripture.
All these 3 points have their significance
The wine symbolizes seperation from worldly pleasures
The razor vow symbolizes dedication to God during the period of the vow and
The abstaining from dead bodies symbolizes purity
Another thing about the Nazarite vow is that it is not gender bias, it is a vow you take willingly and it has a Time frame.
All that said are from the Old testament, we looked into the New Testament and have a clear understanding of how to Seperate oneself for God.
From the New Testament, we looked at the book of Romans 12:1-2, there it talks about how we should present our bodies as a Holy sacrifice unto God.
Comparing the two, I realize in the New Testament, The vow is taken willingly too, by confession with your mouth and accepting Him as your Lord and personal Savior then, your whole(body) should glorify Him.
It doesn't have a time frame like the Old Testament
It is also not gender bias
And seperation from worldly things not only strong wine
We looked at 2tim 2:14-21 where we also looked at how talking too much can ruin a man and that God doesn't like that.
Also, Eph 2:10 we talk about us being the product of His creations and also point out the path that He want us to walk there in.
In all these, I learnt in this era, the Nazarite vow is for everyone but I looked at it from the new testament angle, you don't have to have dreadlocks and all before you can decide to separate oneself for God, this Seperation is some we must do every day and also profess every morning and have make the vow to always do this every morning before anything.
