Messiah’s Olah 

Monday, September 11, 2023

Proverbs 30:4 says, “Who has ascended into heaven and descended?” The word ascended in Hebrew is olah. The same root word is used in Genesis 22 when God tells Abraham to offer up his son as a burnt offering. The word for burnt offering here is olah. The olah is the whole offering because it ascends. Messiah is the One who ascends or goes up. It says throughout the gospels, He’s going up to Jerusalem. Do you know where He’s going to? The Temple on Mount Moriah, the same mountain that Abraham offered up Isaac. He’s going up to become the offering that goes up. That’s what it’s about. Messiah, the Son of God, went up by giving His whole life as an olah. By lowering Himself, He was exalted. If you want to go up in your life or ascend, then you need to offer your life, live sacrificially, give of yourself, die to your flesh. The way to go up is to give yourself completely to God, that’s the olah offering. When you give yourself completely, everything you do will ascend as an olah to the heavenlies.

From Message #561 – The Olah 
Scripture: Ephesians 5:2

TODAY’S MISSION – Seek today to live your life as an olah, a whole, total, complete sacrifice for God, ascending to the heavenlies.
