The Person of Jesus

Its so beautiful the works that Jesus did for the world; the transformation he has brought to humanity.

Hebrews 7:26  says - For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.
One of the things thats amazing about Jesus are the words used to describe his person.  The quality of a thing most times is determined by who presents it. The person qualifies the gift. Jesus is described as  holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens. 

What does Holy mean?
Holy means dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.
The Hebrew word for holy is “qodesh” and means “apartness, set-apartness, separateness, sacredness” 

What does harmless mean?
Harmless - without the power or desire to do harm;innocuous:    unable or unlikely to hurt anyone or cause damage
Something that is harmless does not have any bad effects, especially on people's health.

 What does undefiled mean?
Undefiled - free from stain or blemish;
having no faults; sinless;not polluted or made dirty



Now, this high priest, which is Jesus, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and higher than the heaven actually became us, took our place before God. And so, I present before God, you present before God as holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and higher than the heavens.  
Glory To God

Hebrews 7:19  For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Jesus is the better hope that makes all things perfect. And so, by Jesus, we, by ourselves, not needing anyone to go on our behalf, can go before God. And not just go before him, but build a relationship with him. Such that he is accessible at all times; this is exactly what the law could not achieve:Relationship. What is perfect is that anyone can have a relationship with God.

This direct relationship,that Jesus has afforded humanity, is the ONLY valid and legit means through which ANYONE can draw near to God.
Simply because he made the perfect sacrifice.

God bless you.

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

Happy New Year.

It's good to write you for the first time in the new year. This time of the year when new decisions are made,new strategies,new resolutions and etc. Whilst all these are very good it's important not to forget what is most important  for the journey ahead. Moses, the superman assigned by God to lead Gods very own people was not about to do so without asking Gods presence to go with him. Exodus 33:15   And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. I want to point your attention to intentionally asking God to go with you into the year. He's always with you no doubt,however there is a side of God that walks with us and we experience when we ask Him to walk with us. James 4:8a NKJV- 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  You're going to need God in everything you do this year and in as much as He has given us a promise of his presence; Pr.3: 6 says "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths....
