THE PREVAILING INTERCESSION OF JESUS CHRIST FOR SINNERS

When Jesus Christ was physically in this world, he made the remarkable aspect of His ministry to showcase His love, compassion, and desire for the salvation of mankind. In the book of Hebrews 7:25, it is written, "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." The prevailing nature of Jesus' intercession for sinners must not be interpreted for weakness because the LORD GOD has reserved a day in which He shall judge the entire world in righteousness(Acts 17:31). His compassionate nature must be viewed as a privilege to make amends and jettison all wrong doings.


The concept of intercession is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where Moses as the servant of God interceded on behalf of the people before God. However, with the coming of Jesus Christ, His intercession has a unique and powerful significance since he is our great High Priest(Hebrews 4:14). In the book of Romans 8:34, it states, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." While this verse emphasizes the position of authority and power that Christ holds, it is therefore pertinent that we wise appropriate the provisions made available. Anything short of this, will make us not to be saved even after the harvest is over(Jeremiah 8:20) and it will not mean well for us, if it be thus.


The prevailing intercession of Jesus Christ for sinners is for a limited time as after the curtain of grace has been drawn to a close, there will be no more room for repentance. As realistic as this may seem, there is no circumstance that a sinner finds him/herself which will be difficult for Jesus Christ to save. If repentance is seen in the life of the sinner, he is transformed by the power God into becoming a saint. In the book of 1 John 2:1, it is written, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." His intercession is not bound by the past, but extends to the present up until the rapture takes place, providing hope and assurance for all who seek Him.


Furthermore, the prevailing intercession of Jesus Christ for sinners is based on His nature of perfect righteousness. In the book of Hebrews 9:24, it states, "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." Let this be known that Jesus Christ is the only perfect High Priest who enters into the presence of God on behalf of sinners, offering His own blood as atonement for their sins.


The prevailing intercession of Jesus Christ for sinners is a testament to His unchanging love and concern for humanity. In the book of Isaiah 53:12, it is written, "Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." This verse reveals the selfless and sacrificial nature of Jesus' intercession, as He bears the sins of the people and makes intercession on their behalf.


In conclusion, the prevailing intercession of Jesus Christ for sinners reveals His love, grace, and mercy. His intercession offers hope and redemption to all who come to Him. As believers, we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus is continually interceding for us, advocating on our behalf before the Father. It is through His prevailing intercession that we find forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life. If you are not yet a believer, please make good use of the opportunity before you to repent and accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and Saviour. As you do, may the mercy and grace of our LORD and Master Jesus Christ cleanse and make you clean through the blood which was shed on the cross of Calvary.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
