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.

#FUNCTIONING LIKE GOD#8

The spirit of a man is the essence of Him The spirit has a soul and lives in a body But the realness of the trio Is yet the spirit   God is Spirit by nature So when He created you and I In His image and likeness created He us That we may function even like Him So just like the Spirit of God is the essence of God So is the spirit of man the essence of man   But before a man can fully function like God He needs the Spirit of God To yet fill his own spirit To make possible the fellowship of Spirits Like it was in the garden of Eden   If you have received into spirit The spirit which is of God Then you need to continuously fellowship with HIM To fully manifest the person of God And to function like Him   If you have believed in Jesus Christ But have not received into your spirit The Spirit of God Then all you need to do Is to ask the father in faith Who alone give good gifts ...

GOD'S IDEA

Many times in our lives, God blesses us with a divine inspiration or and with a divine idea and we are even sure its God, But we are sometimes to timid to timid to launch into it. Look, when God gives you an idea, it may be worth a million dollars, because God himself is the bank and the owner of all good ideas in the universe and you as a son have every right to it. What on earth are you scared of after all when God says yes nobody on earth can say no. I have learnt in my life that ideas are like seeds, they can give birth to a forest, just give it time and nourish it. That little or foolish idea that God has given you may cause a positive dent in the sand of time and that might just put your name in the hall of fame. Remember, God is not commonsensical, and his instructions are most times not valid to a natural mind (1cor 2:14), if God says He will use that idea to transform the world, who are you to ask how? He may not give you the while picture when He gives you the id...
