Text: Hebrews 9:15-28.
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Another word for covenant is testament. Testament is the official or legal will of a man on how he wants his property shared or allocated after his demise. The word of God is his approved Will for Mankind.
Wills are put into effect after the death of the testator (or owner of the will). The Old Will was sealed with the blood of animals but the revised, better, superior or New Will of God is sealed with the precious and everlasting blood of Jesus- Hebrews 9:15-28.
The Old Will is the shadow of the New; while the New Will is the fulfillment of the Old Will of God.
In that New Will Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2-3
In that same Will Christ said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’- Matthew 7:21-23
May you not be found wanting in living according to the Will of God in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: As from today, I will be found blameless in keeping the Will of God in Jesus name.
