  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 ...

FAVOUR

Scripture Reading: Psalms 5:1-12
Devotional:- “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield” (V. 12) NKJV

    Everyone loves to be favored. And favour is a great virtue that makes life beautiful. To be favored is to be given preferences. It is to be given honour or to be considered where one is not qualified. It is an Act of kindness given to someone that does not deserve it.

When things turn terrible and expectations seems blocked, what a man need is favour. The word of God says “God will bless the righteous and the with favour He will surround them”. This means a man must be righteous to enjoy the favour of God.

Hence, to enjoy divine favour, we must obtain the righteousness of God. This demand that we claim the cleansing of our life by the blood of Jesus and remain in Christ (2Corinthians 5:17). Been in Christ makes us a new creature. Then, we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2Corinthians 5:21). This righteousness is by faith in the work of the cross. But we must abide in Christ to retain it. This is when we can claim the favour of God to work in our ways. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your righteousness give me access to your favour.

“GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A CLOTH YOU MUST SEE ON YOU TO OBTAIN FAVOUR”

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 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.
