  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 ...

FERVENT PRAYERS

FERVENT PRAYERS

SCRIPTURES: James 5:13-18
DEVOTIONAL: “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (Vs. 16).

    If God will always answer our prayers, then we must also understand the place of fervency in prayers. To be fervent is to be strongly focused on God and stay connected to the purpose of our prayers. It is displaying a passionate intensity on our prayer lives. For us to be fervent in our prayer lives, we must learn to go to God with a purpose and determined heart to receive from Him. When we connect with God in the attitude of faith, He would be attracted to us.

As much as people have needs, some still come to God with a 50/50 devotion. A fervent prayer comes from a strong heart built strong by faith in the word of God. Isaac prayed with fervency for his wife to conceive (Genesis 25:21). Hannah prayed with fervency and she received Samuel (1 Samuel 1:27). You and I can always receive whatever we need if only we learn to pray fervently. Instead of our challenges weighing us down, let us come boldly in faith and with the determination of not taking a “No” for an answer. As we do this, heaven will be opened for us and we shall have testimonies.

Prayer: Lord, it is time for my prayers to be answered in Jesus name.

“IF YOU ARE DESPERATE ENOUGH, YOU WILL GET ENOUGH FROM GOD”.

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.
