ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.
Saturday October 19th, 2024
Topic : Participating In The Priesthood.
Memory Verse : 1 Timothy 2:4. He longs for everyone to embrace his life and return to the full knowledge of the truth.
Bible Reading :1 Timothy 2:5-7 TPT. Key Verse: v7
For God is one, and there is one Mediator between God and the sons of men—the true man, Jesus, the Anointed One. He gave himself as ransom-payment for everyone. Now is the proper time for God to give the world this witness. I have been divinely called as an apostle to preach this revelation, which is the truth. God has called me to be a trustworthy teacher to the nations.
Apostle Paul writing his son in the faith Timothy and ourselves is asking that we pray always, so that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ can always take it’s rightful course anywhere we find ourselves. Our prayers will affect those in authority or corridors of power to take decisions that will engender peace in our society and favour the course of the gospel. Every believer, I keep saying has been called into a prayer ministry as a lifestyle. In prayer, we are able to influence what happens on earth by the help of the Spirit of God. Another ministry every child of God has been called into is that that of bearing testimony to the truth anywhere we find ourselves in our lifetime, just like Apostle Paul. The gospel will not be preached by angels, but men, and all of us as people of God are the ones that will make Christ known to our generation through our testimony of him.
Many people are trying to get men changed in futility. The only known an authentic instrument of change given to mankind is the gospel. Because the problem of man is deeply rooted into his nature. This human nature is difficult to handle or deal with without the help of God and through the instrumentality of his word that cannot fail. This very word is personified in Jesus Christ, who is the son of God. He is the creator of all things including man. John 1:1-3. Because he is the creator, he has the right capacity to recreate what he created. A living example is a man like Saul of Tarsus. It took Jesus just an encounter of few munites to recreate him from the inside and redirect his life changing him from persecutor to preacher or testifier. With Saul’s exposure, knowledge in Judaism, education and societal influence nothing would have been able to change his convictions so rapidly as well as redirect the entire course of his life. Acts 9:1-19.
Today we have to wake up to our priesthood in Christ Jesus. “And they were all singing this new song of praise to the⁴ Lamb: “Because you were slaughtered for us, you are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring us to God out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation. You have chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth.”” Revelation 5:9-10. As long as we remain here on earth, the Church determines what God does on earth through the priesthood. This priesthood Apostle Peter further explained is not ordinary, but of royalty, and is meant to display God’s glory through us here on earth. Through the priesthood, we are able to align with Christ to prosecute or enforce his agenda here on earth on the altars of prayer and intercession. 1 Peter 2:5-10.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for choosing me in Christ Jesus to stand for you and serve you in my lifetime. Help me to always be alive to my duty as a priest of royalty as to enforce your agenda on earth. Let the testimonies of Jesus in my mouth draw men to serve the living God in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 8:26-40.
