  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 ...

MARY’S CHOICE

MARY’S CHOICE    

Luke 10:38-42 
Devotional- “But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her." (Vs. 42)


    There are two sisters, Mary and Martha. Jesus Christ the King of kings and the Lord of lords visited their home one day. Both Mary and Martha were excited to have this great guest. Martha busied herself preparing food and setting the tables for Jesus. Mary was sited at the feet of Jesus to listen to every word that Jesus had to say. Mary gave priority to the word of God. She chooses to feed on the bread of life (Deuteronomy 8:3). The Bible says she sat at Jesus feet concentrating on Him and not allowing any form of distraction. Her choice brought her the most needed blessing.

 Martha was not wrong to have engaged herself in preparation of food for Jesus. This is because nothing can take the place of food. But the food of the spirit, the word of God is more nourishing. Jesus says “one thing is needful”. Needful means important and indispensable. The word of God is needful. They are life to those who find them (Proverbs 4:20-22). 

When some people are in Church, they don’t realize they are in the presence of Jesus. Instead of settling down to receive the word, they will keep themselves busy doing other things. Such people are missing the most needed thing and such will always lack the blessings of the Lord. You will not miss the most important blessings of life in Jesus name. Peace!

Prayers: Lord, give me understanding of the importance of your word for my life

“THE WORD OF GOD IS THE POWER OF GOD TO MEET ALL YOUR NEED”

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.
