On March 3, 1975, Brother Stephen Kaung delivered a ministry focusing on the preparations God made for the Israelites as they journeyed from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land. He emphasized the importance of being numbered as God's people, which united them into one army under His care. This numbering was essential for their identity and purpose. Stephen highlighted that God set the Israelites in order, with the tabernacle at the center, symbolizing their relationship with Christ. He also discussed the Levites' special role in serving God and the church, emphasizing that all believers are both priests and Levites, called to minister to God and one another. Stephen introduced two laws given by God: the law of jealousy, which addresses purity, and the law of the Nazarite, which signifies devotion. The law of jealousy serves to examine the heart, while the law of the Nazarite encourages believers to live for God out of love. Ultimately, Stephen called for inward preparation, urging believers to respond to God's love by offering themselves as living sacrifices, thus preparing to bear the testimony of Jesus.
