  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 ...

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS              

Read:    Romans 14:14-23
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (v. 17)
    So many people are called Christians without them actually having a proper understanding of the kingdom to which they belong. Please, stop operating ignorantly with God (Hosea 4:6). This is one of the major reasons many suffer. 
 
    It is important for you know that the kingdom of God is not where you do whatever you like. It is a kingdom based on righteousness (I Corinthians 6:9). What others struggle for will be easily accessible to your life as a citizen of this kingdom but you must first walk in righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Sin makes people to become citizens of the kingdom of the devil (I John 3:8-9).
 
    Righteousness is very easy to attain. It means standing right with God. That is, standing where God is standing in every situation. As a citizen of any nation, you are expected to be patriotic to get the best of your nation. The same is with God’s kingdom. All you need to do is to always acknowledge Him by asking Him what His will is in all situations (Proverbs 3:5-6). Always do what He wants you to do no matter how foolish it may be to human understanding (John 8:29). Also, know that His ways are different from the ways of men (Isaiah 55:8-9). That is why you must know how to hear from Him. As you do that, your life will be heaven on earth. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always please You.
 
“ONLY THOSE WHO WALK WITH GOD CAN ENJOY THE BLESSINGS OF HIS KINGDOM”

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.
