Don't compel to serve the Lord

Number 9:1-23
On the 14th day of first month a year at twilight, the Lord asked Israelite to celebrate passover at the appointed time. If someone were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body or were away on a journey, they are to celebrate it on the 14th day of the second month at twilight.
An alien living among them who wants to celebrate the Lord's passover must do so in accordance with its rules and regulation. You must have the same regulations for the alien and the native-born.
The cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days or a month or a year the Israelites must remain in camp and not set out; Sometimes the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out, Whether by day or by night. They obeyed Lord's order, in accordance with his command through Moses.
Why?
Everyone has the opportunity to celebrate Passover, the redeemer provides same opportunity to everyone in the world if you like to accept this gospel.
The Lord may asks his people wait for his work two days or a month or a year, we need more patient to wait for the Lord, don't like Saul had not kept the command the Lord gave him. He felt compelled to offer the burnt offering. Don't compelled to do anything.
No one may opt out of celebrating the Passover. But the absentee and anyone ritually unclean at the time may observe the feast one month later.
1 Corinthians 5:7 describes Christ as 'our Passover lamb'.
How?
Do not give up any opportunity to preach gospel to others, for everyone has opportunity to listen God's good news.
Don't compel to serve the Lord, serve the Lord is delight service and joyful.
