  MEDIATING Hebrews 8:1-13 Devotional:- “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises” (V. 6) NKJV In the Old Testament, the human priest used to stand in the gap between God and man. But because they are also human and can also sin, their priesthood was not able to actually deliver the human race. This is the ministry Jesus is carrying out on behalf of the believers since His ascension to heaven.  This ministry was taken over by Jesus because He loves us. Though He is seated on the throne but sitting closely to the Father to advocate for us. A mediator is someone who stands in the gap between the benefactor and the beneficiary. He is the one who pleads our cause to God. He is the one who intercedes for us before the Father. That is why we can be certain of our faith in God through Christ Jesus. Friend, since we know that we have Christ Jesus standing in for us, then our faith ...

Scripture Reading: Psalms 113:1-3
Devotional -“From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord's name is to be praised” (V. 3)



     The praises of God should be 'always' in our mouth. A mouth that is not always praising God is likely praising people, situation or problems. Remember that God created you for His praise (Isaiah 43:9-21). Remember that you are saved to praise God (1Peter 2:9). This is because it is in praise that God can be part of your life. It is in praises that He will be enthroned in your heart and in all your situations (Psalms 22:3). It is in praises that God can take over the battles of your life (2 Chronicles 20:20-24). 

     The word of God says, we should praise God from the rising of the sun to it’s going down. This simply means from morning till night. The word of God says, in everything, we should keep giving thanks to God (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This is because we need the presence of God round the clock. This is because, God wants to always inspire us to action for our progress and keep leading us into His plan and purpose.

    King David who understands the importance and the power of praise said, he praises God seven times a day (Psalms 119:164). Praising God always means you are conscious of His presence with you and giving Him praises (Psalms 16:8). “Thank you Lord” “You are worthy of my praises” “I am grateful” etc are words of praises anytime, anywhere. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, put your words of praises in my mouth always

“YOU CAN’T BE LIFTING GOD AND GO DOWN”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
