OUR WORSHIP AS RIGHTEOUS


 
 
Under the law, the people of God had but limited access to Gods presence due to the their unrighteousness, in fact, they couldnt access Gods presence except by the means of a representatives i.e. the priests and they even had a special representative who was the high priest, only the high priest had access to the inner court of the temple (holiest) which was most reverenced only once in a year (Heb 9:1-7) to atone for His own sin and the sin of the people by the blood of goats and lambs.
 
        However in the new covenant, Christ being our high priest of better things, He obtained eternal redemption for us, once and for all by entering into the Holies not by the blood of animals but by His own blood (Heb 9:12, 10:12), because the blood of animals could never have taken away sin (Heb 10:4,8,11), but only covered them this is why the same sacrifice had to be repeatedly done each year, hence the need to take away the law and establish a new covenant of better promises (Heb 10:9)
 
        The sacrifice of Himself that Jesus Christ has offered has alone sanctified us and there is no need whatsoever to repeat any sacrifice in whatever form because the blood of Jesus dealt with sin once and for all (Heb 10:10,14). By virtue of Christ offering of Himself for us, we are once and for all purified forever (Heb 10:14), we therefore do not have any fear whatsoever in the presence of our father
 
        The inner court of the temple symbolized the presence of God in the heavens, Our high priest made the way for us to have access to the presence of the father by making us righteous and sanctifying us, so we have all boldness also to enter into the heavens enter to offer our spiritual worship and our prayers right in the presence of our father (Heb 10:19) without anyone doing it for us or on our behalf but in person because the sin has been removed from the sight of God and has also been purged from our conscience (Heb 10:17).
 
We can now behold his glory in heaven by dwelling in His presence while offering our spiritual worship (Rom 12:1, John4:24) for our spirit has now become the temple of God, and the offering of our bodies (spirit) is our reasonable service to the father, our boldness and liberty is not of pride but it is as a result of the overpayment for our sin that Jesus Christ made.
 
All glory be to God because we can now minister directly unto our God in spiritual worship (Rev 1:6, 5:12), but the question is how often do you minister to the father, you should do this daily  because that is what you are made for.

#WHO TO LOOK UP TO# 9

In the midst of storms And all is cold and Choky When the storm is severely harsh Have faith in God   When all hope seems lost And there is no one to turn to When there is darkness all around Your God is able   When friends and family forsake And all has deserted None seems to care But Jesus Alone   Cast your cares upon Him For He alone cares for you Look unto Jesus, the author, And the finisher of your faith   He says peace be still That He has conquered the world Keep your gaze upon Him in patience Joy comes in the morning

#In Whose Hands #10

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million. It depends whose hands it's in . A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Mark Mcguire's hands is worth $19 million. It depends whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. It depends whose hands it's in. A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands fed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in. Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands pr

Leading of The Spirit(Direction in a simple way)1

John 8:12(KJV) 12[Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, ] I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Light is a gift in Christ. Jesus speaks of followers. Followers are believers .Disciples. We become disciples by the gospel . Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18[And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ] All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Narratives of Luke in the book of acts relates this well. It calls believers disciples and disciples are believers. Ephesians 5:8-9 (KJV) 8[For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ] are ye[ light in the Lord: walk as children of light:] 9[(For the fruit of the Spirit ] is[ in
