DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2021
TOPIC: Take Your Seat
Today’s Scripture: But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. Hebrews chapter 10 verse 12, (ESV) ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION.
Message: The Old Testament priests had to go into the temple over and over again to make sacrifices for the people’s sins. There were no seats in the temple for them to sit down because another sacrifice was always required. But when Jesus was crucified, He said, “It is finished,” meaning the old way of having to constantly offer sacrifices for forgiveness ended. His sitting down at God’s right hand is a picture of perfect rest. The apostle Paul tells the beauty of it: “We are seated with Christ in heavenly places.”
There is a seat of rest that belongs to you. You don’t have to go through life constantly trying to make up for past mistakes or being upset about your problems. Do yourself a favour and take your seat. Enter into that peace and rest. When you sit down, God will stand up and go to work for you. That’s why He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that the battle before me today is not mine but Yours. I could be worried and upset, but I’m going to take my seat and live from a place of rest. I believe that You are bigger than any problem and You have this covered. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: Brother, Sister, please relax! Bible in the book of Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 (NIV) says: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”. I’m advising that you give yourself a break! Jesus has paid for all these issues of life that are bordering and giving you unnecessary pains. You shall receive grace to take a seat and relax, give God a chance to be in control. Divine enablement to be still, to come closer to God through Jesus Christ is given to you. As you do this, God will stand up and go to work for you. He will fight your battle and declare you a winner in Jesus mighty name. Amen.”
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
