Who are You in Christ?

Find yourself in the Bible!

Of the characters and themes or the books of the Bible, who are you?

Jesus asked the disciples who do men say that I am?

Who does Christ say that you are?

There are many ways to answer that. What if you went on a mission trip and found people who are named in the Bible and a whole book is dedicated to them.

Well, meet the Lemba tribe in Zimbabwe, southern Africa. The Bible Book written for them is Leviticus.

Leviticus teaches us how to worship our Holy God, the difference between pure and impure, sanitation, quarantine, and ritual purification. It teaches how to farm the land and to feed the widows, orphans, poor, and strangers. Godly general and marital relationships is also taught.

All of the Holy Feast Days to the Lord and how to celebrate them are described too.

Here is an African Rabbi teaching in the synagogue. It is proven through DNA that they are the direct descendants of Levi, Moses' tribe. Levi was Jacob’s third son by Leah and is one of the original twelve tribes of Israel. “Leviticus is the Book of the Levites."

Knowing your identity is where your power is.

The Jews wear their prayer shawl and their Kippah (pronounced kee-pah), skullcap traditionally worn by Jewish men. The prayer shawl or tallit simply means “a robe,” or “a cloak”.

The men are eagerly learning the Scriptures and how to interpret them and apply them.

Because of the offerings from our sponsors, we are able to feed the Widows.

The rabbis blessed the food and the men helped divide the food for the widows. When we tithe and give offering there is food for the Widows and Orphans.

Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

James 1:27 Pure religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

God gave instructions of how to provide for the Widows and Orphans. Leviticus 19:9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the sojourner. I am the LORD your God.

Here is a typical round African House. It is not made of mud.
