  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 ...

BASIS FOR JUDGEMENT

BASIS FOR JUDGEMENT

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11
Devotional:- “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (V. 10) NKJV

    It is important that all children of God knows that there is a judgment day. All covenant defaulters shall be judged. That is why you and I cannot play away with the covenant of God. For us in the New Testament, the grace of God is at work in us, but not in disobedience (Romans 6:1-2). God want us to obey Him out of a heart of love (John 14:15). But the disobedience will be judged (Isaiah 1:19-20).

The covenant of God therefore becomes the basis for the judgment of God. If God will bless you, then you must be obedient (Isaiah 1:19). This judgment has begun from here and will continue to the judgment day. This is then the wisdom in the fear of God (Proverbs 1:7). Our walk in the covenant of God is therefore not for our benefit alone but to be an obedient child of God (Isaiah 1:19-20).

Friend, please understand that Christianity is a relationship with God. There is therefore a strong need to walk in the covenant of God, both for your benefit and for your freedom from the coming judgment of God (Genesis 17:1). You will not be condemned in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep walking in your covenant.

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.
