Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. – Numbers 21:7-9

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

Beloved, the blessed Holy Spirit has a very deep revelation for all believers , most especially you, from the above scripture.

I pray that this particular scripture above shall not judge the believers and you in particular at the end of time.

For this not to happen, I want you to learn the great lesson and apply yourself to doing it.

Beloved, every word of God in the Bible are very very significant and have numerous instructions for the followers of Christ and you in particular.

Now see this scripture very very closely about the lifted serpents.

Num 21:7 — Num 21:9 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

God gave a panacea to end the death of the children of Israel, through the fiery serpents.

Moses was instructed to make a fiery serpent and placed it on a tall pole that can be visible and seen from far and near for all the children of Israel bitten by fiery serpents anywhere in the camp..

The man of God, Moses in absolute obedience to God, did it and from any distance, all the people in the camp can see the pole and live after been bitten by the fiery serpents, from every distance.

Beloved, the Bible says the following about all scriptures in the Bible.

1. All scriptures are given for your instructions.

2Ti 3:16 — 2Ti 3:17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

2. All the things that happened in the time past are for your learning today.

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

So what are the believers of all ages and you in particular, should learn from this scenario.

They and you are expected to lift Jesus our lifted Redeemer up, for the world of sinners to see and be saved.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me

Jam 5:19 — Jam 5:20 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Jud 1:22 — Jud 1:23 And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

See these two important words from our Lord Jesus Christ. They are loaded with instructions for all believers of all ages and you in particular.

Jn 3:14 — Jn 3:15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

The Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

It went further to say the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

The Bible goes further to reveal the following intention about our loving Father in heaven, from both old and new testaments.

He does not want sinners to perish.

Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God said He is searching for a man that will lift up Jesus , the lifted Redeemer for sinners to see and be saved and not damned.

Ezk 22:30 — Ezk 22:31 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.

Jn 3:14 — Jn 3:15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

Beloved, when Jesus is lifted up , by believers and you in particular, sinners shall be saved.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

But then the Bible says, sinners can not call on Jesus they have not known for salvation

They can only call on Him, when believers and you lift Him up,by preaching to them.

Rom 10:13 — Rom 10:15 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

This was a. Commandment with blessings for believers who obey and eternal grievous consequences for believers who chose to disobey.

1. Obedience

Psa 68:11 The Lord gave the word:great was the company of those that published it.

2. Disobedience

Ezk 3:17 — Ezk 3:18 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Beloved, how then are you going to lift Jesus up? These can be done as you do the following two things.

1. Through your lips as you preach the gospel.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

2. As you lived Christlike lifestyle to draw sinners to Christ.

Because of the social media distractions. Sinners will not read Bible, but will read and discover Jesus through your Christlike exemplary lifestyle.

2Co 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Mat 5:13 — Mat 5:16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS – HEBREWS 12:2 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon the brasen serpent, shall live.

Beloved there is no time to waste. Sinners are trooping to hell daily.

Save those in your world of influence and enlarge and advance the kingdom of Christ.

There is a reward awaiting you here and at eternity for doing so.

Exo 23:25 — Exo 23:26 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Remember also that there is consequences for not doing so. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.

Ezk 3:17 — Ezk 3:21 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

May the Lord help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus mighty name.
