  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 ...

ASKING AND RECEIVING

ASKING AND RECEIVING

SCRIPTURE: LUKE 11:5-13
DEVOTIONAL: “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Vs. 10)

    Prayer is about asking and receiving. To many people, prayer is asking and asking. This mind-set of prayer being only about asking should be erased because prayer entails asking and receiving. Sometimes, some believers say that they have been asking God for something in the past one year and are still believing Him for answers. This is totally a wrong mind-set. When I pray, I expect an answer, so it comes always and almost instantly. If I stay long in prayers, I just want to hang around God. 

Friend, prayer is a dialogue and not a monologue. If your son or daughter comes to ask you for something, do you postpone your response or keep quiet about it? No, you don’t! Our religious mind-sets need a total change. Your desires might not be delivered immediately, but the answer of God is His word. God might tell you yes, no or hold on, but He will not ignore you.

The Scripture for today says that everyone who ask, receives. God always answers with an instruction or a guide on how we can receive answers (Psalms 32:8, Jeremiah 33:3). We must always play our parts by exercising faith at all times (Hebrews 11:40). Settle it in your heart today that, God always answer prayers (John 11:41-42). Open your heart to receive His voice and you will become fruitful in prayers in Jesus’ name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to hear you always

“PRAYER IS A DIALOGUE AND NOT A MONOLOGUE”.

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.
