  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 ...

WHY BEING LIKE CHRIST

Scripture: Luke 14:25-27
Devotional:- “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” (v.26) NKJV

    There is a strong need to know the reason we are to be like Jesus. When purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. Everyone we see in the world is either living to be like christ or like the world (John 17:16).

At creation God made us to be like Him (Genesis 1:27). His desire is that we are like Him in attitude and in character. This is because His attitude are wisdom. Attitude for our success in this world (Deuteronomy 4:6). God’s wisdom are prevailing wisdom. His wisdom is not the same to human wisdom (Isaiah 55:8). He wants us to be like Him because attitude make us win where there’s are defeated (Luke 16:10-12). His attitude makes us stand out as a light and example on our world (Matthew 5:16). His attitude make us to be put in charge and have dominion (Genesis 39:2-4). His attitude qualify us for more (Luke 16:11).

Friend becoming like christ is a major reason you are on earth. To be changed to the life style of heaven (Matthew 7:20-23). You as a child of God must therefore put in your strength by the help of the Holy Spirit to be like Jesus in love and obedience. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be like Jesus.

“if you are truly His son or daughter, you will be like Him”

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 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.
