  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 ...

OPERATING AUTHORITY

OPERATING AUTHORITY           

Luke 10:13-20
Devotional:- “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (V. 19)


 

   When a man is standing in victory, he will equally stand in authority. This is because victory is a product of gaining more power to conquer an opponent.  Such people seems to have a sense of been in charge wherever they are. They operate with a victorious mentality and not defeated mentality.
 
   Jesus said “He has given us the authority to overcome all the powers of the enemy. To be given authority is like someone having the control over a thing and delegate the control to you. The issue is that, we did not fight and conquer the devil. It was Jesus that did that and now delegates the control over the forces of wickedness to us. That is why you need a mind shift to operate in authority delegated to you by the Lord Jesus.
 
   Every authority has power under their control (Matthew 8:8-9). The authority is the controller and the power is the one that execute the words given by the authority. This means, as you operate in authority, God make His forces available to carry out your words (Psalms 103:20). Understanding this makes you stand in victory. Elisha knew that there are forces with them, but his servant became worried because he did not know (2 kings 6:15-17). Take your place in authority. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the light of my authority in you.
 
“UNDERSTANDING YOUR AUTHORITY MAKES YOU LIVE IN VICTORY”

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

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.
