The Throne of Grace

By

Good morning

Scripture: Hebrews 4: 14-16

Praise song: Bow down and Worship

 


Meditation:

    The high priest alone had the privilege of entering the innermost chamber of the temple once a year, where he offered a sacrifice to God on behalf of himself and the people to atone for their sins. The sacrifices were offered by the high priest, respectively, for himself, the other priests, and the people. The animals offered for the remission of sin had no spots, defects, or blemishes. The priest was given the task of carrying the burden, the heavy weight, and the iniquities of the people before the throne of grace. 

    This responsibility changed when Jesus Christ came and sacrificed himself for the atonement of our sins. Through Christ, the role of the priest as an intercessor has been abolished, and everyone now has direct unlimited access to God's grace. Therefore, let us accept this golden opportunity with gratitude, come boldly to the throne of grace, submit to the will of our master, and surrender so that we may obtain grace and mercy.

Let us pray:

    Dearest Father, I give you thanks, O God, for your son, Jesus Christ, who offered his life as a sacrifice for the remission of our sins. We are grateful for the privilege granted to us to come boldly to the throne of grace so that we may obtain grace and mercy in times of need. Father, I pray earnestly for compassion and that you will subdue our iniquities and cast all our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. Almighty God, only Christ can fashion anew the character that has been ruined by sin. Father, I sincerely ask that, as we pray, you will expel the iniquities and immoralities that control our minds and our will. Almighty God, there is nothing I desire more than to dwell in your presence forever, obeying your will, your commands, and learning your ways. Father, please grant us the power to triumph over sin and its dominating power. Take not your Holy Spirit from us, O God, but restore unto us the joy of your salvation, and keep us as the apple of thine eye in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Wishing you divine protection. 💕🙏🙏

A Thirst for Righteousness

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6:11-23 Worship song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin   Meditation:      At the beginning of the chapter, Apostle Paul refuted the misconception that salvation is achieved through grace by faith. Based on his rebuttal, it is clear that the saints were disputing about sin, salvation, law, and grace. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. Although the grace of God abounds with those who yield to righteousness, and his grace is greater than all our sins, we should not remain as servants to sin. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.       Before, you were enslaved to sin, and righteousness was not a factor in your life. Now, freed from sin, you have become servants to God. Should the believers who obeyed from the heart the doctrine that was delivered to us continue to yield our members to ungodliness? Shall...

Not Satisfied with The Husk

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied   Meditation:      The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine grand cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the Almighty Father stands ready to welcome you home? God values you more than any career or material gain.       The life you crave, one of true purpose, is found with Christ. There is immense joy in heaven whenever someone decides to leave a life of sin behind. If you are weary of st...

Better Awaits You

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold onto the divine promise of a restored life through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God fully and living his way. This life is a journey, not our final destination. For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever.       As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, do...

Known by Your Fruits

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 5: 22-26 Worship song: Bear Fruit   Meditation:      Over 2,000 different kinds of fruit exist globally, yet the average Western diet uses only about 10% of them. In a spiritual context, we recognize two significant types of fruit: natural fruits and the fruits of the Spirit. The nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5, represent the essential character traits that should guide a believer. The qualities one displays serve as a reflection of their genuine faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. As noted in Matthew 7, just as a tree produces fruit according to its nature, a person's actions reflect their fundamental character.       What kind of fruit are you producing? How can we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives? These spiritual fruits are not a reward for our personal accomplishment but a gift we receive through our relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. We canno...
