The Throne of Grace

By

 Good morning

Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16

Praise song: Bow down and Worship




Meditation:

The high priest traditionally held the exclusive privilege of entering the innermost chamber of the temple once annually, where he offered a sacrifice to God on behalf of both himself and the congregation to atone for their sins. Sacrifices were made by the high priest, respectively, for himself, the other priests, and the people. The animals used for the remission of sin were required to be without blemish, free from spots and defects. The priest's duty was to carry the burden, the heavy weight, and the iniquities of the people before the throne of grace. This practice was abolished when Jesus Christ came and sacrificed himself for the atonement of our sins. Through Christ, the priestly role of intercession has been abolished, granting individuals direct and unrestricted access to God's grace. Therefore, let us seize this golden opportunity with gratitude, approach the throne of grace with confidence, submit to God's divine will, and surrender ourselves that we may receive 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. 👏💕🙏

Abound in Knowledge

Good morning  Scripture reading: 2 Peter 1: 1–10 Worship song: Worthy   Meditation:      In addition to staying pure from worldly corruption and being diligent, Peter's letters outline several specific attributes of good stewardship. He advised us to add these attributes to remain fruitful and fertile. He describes a process for developing spiritual maturity. His guidelines instruct believers to adopt Christ-like characteristics intentionally, behave in a righteous and godly manner, utilize their gifts to serve others, practice cheerful hospitality, and remain humble.       We must actively use the resources God has given us to guide our actions and achieve our purpose. The more knowledge we have of God, the closer we get to Him, and the more we learn to apply the steps necessary for spiritual growth, of which the greatest attribute that we need to obtain is love. When we forsake all to follow Christ, the word of God empowers us and...

Blessed are The Meek

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 5:5 Worship song: Let The Peace Of God Reign   Meditation:      It is difficult to maintain your composure and remain calm, gentle, and peaceful among those who display hostile and arrogant behaviour. Still, we must possess the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit, which serve as evidence to prove that we are truly children of God. While Jesus sat with the multitude and his disciples, he taught them about the beatitudes and the reward of possessing such qualities. One of the beatitudes that are important in the life of a child of God is having the spirit of meekness. Meekness is an attribute of the Saviour that is desperately needed today. It is a spiritual gift obtained through the Holy Spirit. Those who possess such qualities have a humble attitude that expresses wisdom, self-control, patience, and a calmness that is not easily provoked.       Being meek does not mean you are a coward, it shows ...

The Restorer of the Broken

Good morning. Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Worship song: Make Me Whole   Meditation:      Our society is equipped with a vast number of skilled professionals and technicians who provide specialized services in various areas. For example, plumbers are called upon for issues related to piping systems, electricians diagnose and repair electrical problems, auto mechanics perform vehicle maintenance and tests, and physicians attend to our medical and diagnostic needs. Not everyone needs these services, but we are all in need of divine intervention to maintain our physical, mental, and spiritual health.       We all need a Savior who provides the only way to be made right with a holy God, to receive forgiveness, and to have a life of true purpose. Due to our inherent sinful nature and desires, we constantly breach the fundamental principles and standards set by God. We are all sinners in need of God's grace. We need God's mercy...

Wrapped in a Blanket of Fear

Good morning Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 31:1-8 Worship song: Fear Is a Liar   Meditation:      When he was chosen to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, Joshua experienced anxiety and uncertainty, fueled by fear, which undermined his leadership abilities. More than once, Joshua was reminded of the divine order to be strong, courageous, and not be afraid, for the Lord God will be with him wherever he goes. (Joshua 1:9; Joshua 8:1; Joshua 10: 8) Our anxiety when we explore unknown territory stems from a natural fear of the unpredictable, much like Joshua's journey into the new land.       However, if we trust in the Lord and do not lean on our limited understanding, He will direct our path. Though Joshua was fearful, he obeyed the Lord's command by demonstrating strong leadership and faith leading the Israelites to victory. We can find assurance in the promises of the Lord to strengthen and uphold us with his righteous right hand...
