APPROPRIATING THE BENEFITS OF CHRIST’S ATONING DEATH - THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)


DATE: THURSDAY, 31ST MARCH, 2022 


TOPIC: APPROPRIATING THE BENEFITS OF CHRIST’S ATONING DEATH


TEXT: HEBREWS 10:19-25 


19.  Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20.  by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21.  and [having] a High Priest over the house of God,

22.  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23.  Let us hold fast the confession of [our] hope without wavering, for He who promised [is] faithful.

24.  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

25.  not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] the manner of some, but exhorting [one another,] and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.


MESSAGE: 

Christ is our High Priest; his atoning death has opened for us a new and living way to God. We now have boldness to enter the presence of God (a previously once-a-year prerogative of the high priest), with a true heart, cleansed from sin, and in full assurance of faith (see John 14:6). We appropriate the full benefits of this new status in God by faith. The text encourages us to live an active life full of love and good deeds and determination to spread the Gospel to all the world. We are also to fellowship with fellow believers, praying, studying God’s word and encouraging one another especially those whose faith is waning. 


When we do these things, we maintain our commitment to the Christian community. Just as it is not possible to enter a highly secured area without prior appointment or any form of identification, so it is impossible to enter God’s presence without appropriating Christ’s atoning death. Beloved, let us therefore appropriate the full benefits of the atoning death so that we can boldly have access into God’s presence as we see the Day of the Lord approaching.


PRAYER: 

Father, help me to persevere in faith and to encourage someone to do same today in Jesus name ame.


TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR SEEING THE END OF THE MONTH OF MARCH 2022

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
