THE HIGH PRIEST

May 27th – Capsule 27

TOPIC: THE HIGH PRIEST

BIBLE TEXT: Seeing that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession – Hebrews 4 vs 14

In the Old Testament, the children of Israel had anointed priests, which were men and the first was Aaron, the brother of Moses. These men the Bible talks about all served as mortal priests and are all dead but glory unto the Father who gave the church His begotten Son as our eternal high priest. The job of a high priest is to enter the Holy of holies (inner sanctum) once a year on the Day of Atonement to burn incense and sprinkle sacrificial animal blood for his sins and those of the people but Christ is our living sacrifice and His blood is always sprinkled for our sins.

God's grace and mercy brought this kindness, for us to understand God’s love. Christ the Saviour helps us access the inner sanctum of heaven through the Holy Ghost and without the former ways of once a year. He carries us straight to the Heavenly Father everyday.

What a high priest who will never ask you to kill your livestock’s as atonement, or your children or family or shed your own blood, No! Christ is the full atonement and payment system of our freedom and grace today. When you need help and fears are thick, don’t run to man or a chief priest in a shrine but run to Jesus Christ, the high Priest of the church.


Prayer: My Lord, I recognize your will as my high priest and Saviour, avail for me for the rest of my life in Jesus name.

Insight: Jesus Christ is the full atonement and access into the Holy of Holies.

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
