1. TOPIC: THE STORY OF UZZAH; A LESSON TO ALL
EVANGELIST VICTOR AINA

2. I know that this particular story is not new to most of us, and I believe we might have really studied it one time or the other, but I want us to take a closer look, once again,and see how we can apply the lessons therein, to our individual lives.

3. I’m doing this message so that most of us that claim, that we know the Lord will see why we need to stay within our bounds, and not get too familiar with God , His constituted authority,or go against his set order I will also need to show us that no matter how much scheming we do in Gods work Gods standard will prevail,irrespective of who and

4. how much of human backing is available to you,God is not a respecter of person1 Sam 16:7,NLT/Amp, therefore we need to live soberly and do everything orderly as we journey through life waiting for that perfect hope.

5. There are questions that normally arise in course of teaching on subjects as this, sometimes we ask is it bad to do good? Some like David get Angry with God, how can you just kill the joy of your people, while all they want is your presence in there midst?

6. UZZAH means strength from most definition but Hitchtock Dictionary added goat to his definition, I think what he is trying to show here is point attention to the character of a goat, which is stubbornness, disobedience, and disorderliness, Exodus 25:12-15NLT, order of pole.

7. Every minister is appointed his responsibility according to Gods pattern by the leader. Num4:1-15, vs 19. Num7:21-33 NET.

8. God respects leadership and orderliness, those leaders were the representatives of their tribes, i.e. every member of a tribe have to be submissive to the leader, even if he seems to know more than the leader, he must be under authority because in doing so you are submissive to God not man. And all the benefits and blessings due to that family comes to anyone in submission;

9. not from man but God himself. Psalms 133:1-3 NLT.
Consultations with great men, sometimes may be contrary to God’s will. Learn to always go back to God.
1Chro 13:1- 4 NET.

10. JOURNEY TO BRING
THE ARK
1Chron 13:5-6,1Sam 7:1-2, Eleazer, Aminadab’s son to guard the Ark. UZZAH was the 3rd born of Abinadab.

The city of Kirtha-Jearim is city of jars, i.e. wood forest, Josh 5:17-25 NET, Ezra 2:25

(1) Gershon, (2) Kohath, (3) Merari. These three clans work directly with the priests as Levites, and they occupy the immediate space outside the tabernacle before the 12 tribes, Levi tribe gained favor at the time of golden calf, Num 18:21-24.

16. Explain... 1Cor 1:17-18, 23, 2:1-2NET, Gal 6:14, 2 Sam 6:1-10NLT, vs 10-12.
Why was the Ark put in the house of Obededom - and why so much publicity about his blessing?

17. Obededom the Gittite vs 10, Jos 21:25-27
Family: Clan of Kohath
Easton Dictionary call him servant of Edom, a native of Gath Rimon

18. Exod 6:16-24, Num 3:19NET. Obededom is the great grand child of Kohath and Koreh also called Korah in vs 18-21, 1Chro 26:1-4NET/ Amp, vs 5-8 God bless Obededom, he was from the clan of kohath. Num 4:15-20 read, 1 Chro 15:18-23, he is a guardian of the Ark, Eph 4:9-16NET, Gift of men

19. God is a God of order, no matter how smart and daring some people may be, He knows the slot of every individual, and their strength and weaknesses. He blesses according to his purpose, not the idea of man. Num 3:17-38 positioning*

20. .

21. This brings unity Psalm 133:1-3, and protection from the attack of the enemies. Num 24:1-9, 10-14,15-25.

22. Num 23:3,11, 23. But When its not followed there will be trouble, Num:25:1-3,Mark 8:34-35 Take up your cross not another persons own. That means a Merarite Levite is not permitted to carry the Ark assigned to the Kohathite, this is out of order. I think this was one of the reason Uzzah was struck dead.

When God gives a man a pattern, He expects men to follow that pattern in due order.
Num 4:1-15, vs15 NLT,

2. Sins Committed with good intentions are still punishable by God.

Pulpit commentary on 2 Sam 6: (pg.164) "The moral of this warning is that no one on plea of zeal for the ark or Gods sanctuary, should result to doubtful expedients and unlawful means for the attainment of this end.”

4. Failure to follow God’s divine pattern is a sign of irreverent. God is a sovereign God and can never be manipulated. Don't get familiar with God. Hebrew 10:31 terrible.

Psalm 145:3, Job11:7-11NLT, Ish 40:28
Moses Num 20:7-12,NET. God Himself said he is the meekest man on earth, yet he blew it big time. Our safety lies in obedience and orderliness.
