 Dew of Heaven

The unity among brothers brings the dew of heaven. The unity brings security and blessing to all the people involved 

Passage: Psalm 133

1 How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

2 For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe.

3 Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting.

The dew of heaven is likened to the blessing of God. 

Verse: Genesis 27:28

“From the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine.

This was the promise to Jacob. But Easu didn't have this and he lived the sword among his brothers. What is the source of this dew of heaven..... it is the teaching of the Word of God

Verse: Deuteronomy 32:2 

Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants.

We are so blessed to listen and have the Word of God in our hands. One such teaching is the Sermon on the Mount. The teaching talks of 9 such blessedness. 

The three things that come out of the dew of heaven

  1. Unity (Psalm 133:1)
  2. Blessing that flows (Psalm 133:2)
  3. Blessing that lifts the curse (Psalm 133:3)

1) Unity (Psalm 133:1)

There is a oneness amoug the people there is a joy that comes out of this. The times of coming together brings that overlow of blessing and joy

Verse: Deuteronomy 16:16

“Each year every man in Israel must celebrate these three festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival of Shelters. On each of these occasions, all men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he chooses, but they must not appear before the Lord without a gift for him.

Verse: Isaiah 65:8

“But I will not destroy them all,” says the Lord. “For just as good grapes are found among a cluster of bad ones (and someone will say, ‘Don’t throw them all away— some of those grapes are good!’), so I will not destroy all Israel. For I still have true servants there.

In the cluster (togetherness) of goodness comes    new the wine. 

Unity in our Homes

The unity needs to be stressed on the smallest unit that is the family. 

2) Blessing that flows (Psalm 133:2)

Aaron is mentioned in the verse 2. Let us see how this anointing happens and how it overflows

Verse: Leviticus 8:12

12 Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, anointing him and making him holy for his work

Aaron in turns blesses his the people. So the blessing overflows to the rest of the people.

Aaron is the picture of Authority. He was the high priest. There are blessings in the authority structures. There is an order of God over our lives. 

As a side note, there could be abuse and God will judge the abuse of authority. God will judge lack of responsibility as well.

The authority structure in our family where the father of the house calls blessing on the rest of the family members. Take up your responsibility

3) Blessing that lifts the curse (Psalm 133:3)

Mount Hermon was the place where the curse fell. But God decided that He would pour out the dew.

What is this Dew of Heaven? This is Jesus and his glory was revealed here

Verse: Matthew 17:1-2

1 Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. 

2 As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.

Conclusion

Let us ask the dew of heaven - Jesus in our lives, our homes. And this blessing overflows

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
