  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 ...

THE FIG TREE

THE FIG TREE                    

Luke 13:6-9
Devotional Verse:- “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.”  (Vs. 6)


    Every citizen of the kingdom of God is expected to bear fruits unto God. This is because God, by His Spirit has invested so much in us. He has invested in us the gifts of the Spirit in different varieties. He has invested in us the passion for specific assignments in His house and in our businesses. He has also invested special abilities and unique personalities in us. He has invested in us all manner of experiences. He has planned and fashioned us for His glory (Isaiah 43:21).
 
    In our Scripture for today, Jesus told us of a man who planted a tree and was expecting fruits from it. He was disappointed when it didn't bear fruits. So, a command was given to cut down the tree. 
 
    Friend, refuse to be a disappointment to God. Be committed to the service of the Lord in soul winning. Giving care for members of God’s family and meditating over the word of God to produce the fruits of the Spirit in you. (2 Cor. 3:18, Gal. 5:22). The word of God is the seed of life (Luke 8:11). Don’t be a Christian without proof of progress in your spiritual journey and in your business. Strive to be fruitful and God’s blessings will multiply in you. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, Give me the grace to be a fruitful Christian
 
“IT TAKES A SEEDFUL LIFE TO HAVE A FRUITFUL LIFE”

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.
