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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
