  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 ...

MOSES CHOICE

MOSES CHOICE     

Hebrews 11:23-29 
Devotional:-“choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,” (Vs. 25)

    Moses, though an Israelite became the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He lives in Pharaoh’s palace and enjoy all the riches and treasures of Egypt. When he grew up and realize he is in the wrong place, he choose to leave the palace and choose to identify with his people, the Israelites. He chooses to suffer affliction with them, enduring the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure in the land of Egypt.

 This was a sacrificial choice but it was a godly one. A choice that made him greater than any one that was ever born in the house of Pharaoh eternally. This choice made Moses the greatest prophet in the history of man.

Beloved there is a need to always examine your position, it may look good and enjoyable but it may be displeasing to the Lord. Blessed is the man who does not stay in the company of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1-3). The enjoyable position some people are today is actually going to cost the glorious position God has for their lives. No matter how much pleasure you found in that friendship, you know that God expect you to only be in the company of believers. Choose rather to be with the company of children of God, even if it’s going to cost you some pleasure or benefit. And your glorious future will be secured in God.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always love you more than the earthly riches 

“ONLY THOSE WHO SUFFER WITH CHRIST WILL REIGN WITH HIM”

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.
