  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 ...

NOT OFFENDED

SCRIPTURE: LUKE 7:18-30
DEVOTIONAL: “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me." (Vs. 23)

    It is reality today to say that many supposed Christians are already feeling offended by God. On Sunday morning, if you go out when people are in churches, you will discover that many Jeremiahs and Joshuas are at home because they have stopped going to church. Though, they were born in the church, they have stopped attending church services because they are angry with God.

Some people who have waited on the Lord to have solutions to some problems in their lives often withdraw from the fellowship of believers because they feel God has not given them answers to their prayers. This will never bring solution to any situation of man.

Friend, the reason this happens to some of us is that we have not yet completely dedicated our lives to God. People really need to know that God is greater than all men and our needs. Anyone who truly wants to follow God must be ready to go through a time of test (Deut. 8: 2-3). This is a time when it looks as though God has forgotten us, when we are faced with challenges of life. This is just a period when our determination to follow God is tested.

No matter what you may be going through, devote yourself completely to God. This is not because you need anything from Him, but because He is your God. If you stick to God because you want Him to meet your needs, you will soon be offended in Him. Decide to follow Him for who He is and He will always answer your prayers. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me not to be offended in you.

“THE EVIDENCE OF DEDICATION IS THE WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND WAIT ON GOD, NO MATTER WHAT”.

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.
