Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me.” Ezekiel 44:15 Wouldn’t it be wonderful, and about the best thing that could ever happen to this generation of believers in Christ, if the whole church were to simply, honestly, and profoundly receive and obey our identity as priests unto

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the Lord to minister to Him.” Ezekiel 40:46 From our past week’s worth of messages about Zadok, I hope you are able to glean insights from this tremendously faithful to God, covenant, and priesthood history of this family of “the sons of Zadok.” Even in this latest falling a

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in his [Joab’s] place, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.” 1 Kings 2:35 Zadok’s never failing loyalty to his holy call as a priest to God, accompanied by his loyalty to both king and covenant, continued to bless and reward his life, just as our own ministering to our Lord Jesus, as priests of a new covenant in our King, continues to bless an

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Then King David said, ‘Call to me Zadok the priest... and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, “Long live king Solomon!”’” 1 Kings 1:32-34 Once again there had arisen a plot against David: “Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king” (1 Kings 1:5). Many of King

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “‘Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the King’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear.’ So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city.” 2 Samuel 15:35-37 By following King David’s word, to return to Jeru

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. The king said to Zadok, ‘Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the Lord, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation. See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.’ Therefore Zadok and Abiathar retu

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered justice and righteousness for all his people. Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder. Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seriah was secretary.” 2 Samuel 8:15-17 I’ll just say, right off the top, the insight I get about Zadok for my life in this text is this: If you are a faithful pries

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Then David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and said to them, ‘You are the heads of the father’s households of the Levites; consecrate yourselves both you and your relatives, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.’” 1 Chronicles 15:11-12 The next time Zadok appears in Scripture is here, when the now ruling king David was preparing to bring the ark of the covenant

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me.” Ezekiel 44:15 From this portion of Ezekiel, it appears that the only priestly family from the entire Levitical priesthood, who remained loyal to God, when “the sons of Israel went astray from Me,” was “the sons of Zadok.” This is not su

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me.” Ezekiel 44:15 There had been a falling away from God by the people and priesthood of Israel, with only the Levitical family of “the sons of Zadok” remaining faithful. These loyal-to-God sons of Zadok were rewarded by God for their faithfu
