  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 ...

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

SCRIPTURE Hebrews 12:1-2
Devotional: “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Vs. 2).

    Many people pray to God, yet they cannot see Him. Do you know that seeing is believing? For example, if you don’t see a chair, you will not attempt to sit on it. This can be applied also to praying to God whom you cannot see. This can mean that you are doing something you are not sure of. You can’t see God as you pray and not receive an answer from Him.

The Bible says that, we should look unto Jesus whenever we pray. As we close our physical eyes, we should always open our spiritual eyes so that we can see Jesus on the throne. The word of God tells us that He is seated at the right hand of God. Apostle Stephen saw the Lord at the point of his martyrdom (Acts 7:55-56). Saint Mark saw Him (Mark 16:19), Apostle Paul saw Him (Romans 8:34) and Apostle Peter saw Him (1 Peter 3:22).

Every time you see Jesus on the throne in your imagination, your faith and confidence increases. Sometimes, I arrange two chairs to pray, one for myself and one for Jesus, so that we can discuss face to face. The Bible says that they looked unto Him and were not ashamed (Psalms 34:5). As you look unto Him, your shame shall be converted to honour henceforth in Jesus name (Isa. 45:2) Peace!

Prayer:  Lord, help me to always see you in my prayer time.

“YOU CAN’T SEE JESUS AND NOT RECEIVE FROM 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.
