  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 ...

HE CALLS YOU

HE CALLS YOU

Scripture Reading: Matthew 11:25-30
Devotional:- “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (V. 29) NKJV  


    Everyone who has found the saving grace of Christ has also been called to serve the Lord. He has ordained all of us as His vessel of honour (1 Peter 2:9). Though, we are individually called to do different things in the body of Christ. Yet, all are to serve, to bring glory and honour to Him (1 Corinthians 10:31). That is why you must not exempt yourself.

Jesus called us all to serve Him. He said “we should take His yoke upon us. He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Yet, it is a yoke. It is a yoke with Him. To serve Him and partake of His honour. To take someone’s yoke with you means to connect with Him in His assignment. 

This is an open calling that Christ has given to everyone who believes and you are not exempted. It is not until you have a title. The biggest title in the kingdom of God is to be a son of God (1 John 3:1). You are entitled to His honour because He has called you from the day you were saved (Hebrew 5:4). You have become a soul winner and an ambassador for Christ (Mark 16:18; 2 Corinthians 5:20). Don’t let anything stop you. Peace.     

PRAYER: Lord, help me to yield to your calling for my life

“IN YOUR CALLING IS YOUR HONOUR”

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.
