PART 3: WHERE ARE MOSES' & SAMUEL'S DESCENDANTS?

#pastorbiodunsoretire

Although we often asked where were the children of Moses and why were the children of Eli and that of Samuel, Eli's replacement, bad, a further and deeper study showed they all still had some positive salvaging points in their posterity. 

Here are the sons of Moses:

Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi...(1Chron.23:14-17). 

The greatest achievement for Moses was that his children continued to be numbered among the Levites. Fulfilment about posterity is not about forcefully finding positions and openings that God does not give to your children for them, in the name of securing their future. Moses knew God has given the priesthood to Aaron and Aaron's children, and the civil government to Joshua, and he was contented; he worked towards his posterity being godly lineage doing their menial work for the house of God joyfully among the other non-priestly Levites.

Behold these later descendants of Samuel:

And these [are] they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel [Samuel] - 1Chron.6:33

This Heman is the head of the three chief singers for the house of the Lord (Heman, from the Kohath arm of the levites, at the centre; Asaph, from the Gershom arm of the levites, by his right; and Asaph from the Merari arm of the levites by his left) and he is the grandson of Samuel. It does not stop there. His posterity is to keep ministering in that order. What a great relief and a crown on Samuel's effort. Indeed, children's children are the crown of the old men. So, even if it seems you have done all and your children seem to be toeing Samuel's son's line, don't despair, don't give up, keep building, a Heman is in the offing to salvage your lineage.
