Ezekiel 44:15-16
(15) But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister unto Me, and they shall stand before Me to offer unto Me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
(16) They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister unto Me, and they shall keep My charge.
The priests (hiereus)
Come near (proserchomai)
To minister (leitourgeō)
The Lord (kyrios)
Notice how the worship rendered unto God in the OT is used in equality to the Lord Jesus in the NT.
Jesus has priests who come near to minister unto Him as being the Lord (YHWH).
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
1 Peter 2:3-4
(3) If ye have tasted the kindness of the Lord. (Psalm 34:8)
(4) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, rejected by men, but is elite and precious in the sight of God.
Acts 13:2
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Furthermore, one the ways the priests in the OT ministered unto the Lord was by means of calling on the Lord.
Psalm 99:5-6
(5) Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool; for He is holy.
(6) Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His Name; they called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
This is what we find in reference to the Lord Jesus in the New Testament.
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
Acts 13:2
2 Timothy 2:22
