Matthew

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

Matthew 9:9-10

Next up we have Matthew. Now Matthew is kind of a funny character. He's originally found sitting in the house of service and at the table of the money-changers being by custom, a tax collector. Personally, I can think of two power-houses that he's in right off the bat: Issachar and something else. Remember though what I said before, that house orders go by disobedience in addition to being of the family, hometown, and birthing place. By birthing place, I mean that if a child is born to a family say at the middle of the year, then it would be a gift. Then again, if the hometown is Bethlehem Ephrathah by chance of the land of Judah, it would be a lion lamb power added on. Try saying that the family are carpenters and you'll have possibly a duty power added, one that is worthy of the hire. Now let's add on the disobedience found at the very last. It contains the impact that personal choices have on a life.

Matthew had been sitting at the receipt of customs, collecting money from people, generally doing his duty in his government office – then Jesus came along. He called him out of the government office of waiting tables of coin to come and follow. When at once he started, the rest of the people followed him home. The scene has shifted somewhat to that of his house, filled with many who came to hear the Word. Thus, Matthew has become one who is well worth the hire, who rightfully pays tribute to one greater. Matthew's issue though is that he has kept doing his duty no matter where he was called whether by men or by God. Thus, his power hasn't shifted, not at all. He retains his original calling then, if indeed that's what it had been.
