JESUS THE HIGH PRIEST OF
OUR CONFESSION.:—
This means that Jesus is the HIGH PRIEST of what we say.(Heb 3:1). Heb 4:14:-l know that ” We have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens.JESUS the son of God”.
Our heavenly Father is sitting on the throne and JESUS is sitting on the right hand of the FATHER.
OUR ACCUSER:-
But there is someone else before the throne of God.Who is it? The Scripture gives the answer: “There was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before God and satan came also among them, please see that the satan is among the sons. The Scriptures also say that…the accuser of our brethren (satan) accused them before God day and night( Rev 12:10). So satan stands before the throne of God accusing the brethren.
OUR ADVOCATE:–
But thank God we have a lawyer with us (1Jn 2: 1) Jesus,who is pleading our cause against the accusations of satan.
OUR TESTIMONY:–
With what is He pleading our cause? What is He High priest of ? The MIGHTY TRUTH is that He is using YOURS and MINE CONFESSIONS against the accusations of the devil.He is the High Priest of our confession.
So now you must see the importance of what we say. ARE WE GIVING JESUS A GOOD CONFESSIONS to plead against Satan’s accusations ? When the trial is going on, Jesus bends down to hear what you are saying. If you are grumbling, complaining and charging God for allowing the trouble to come to you then Jesus has nothing with which to fight for you , instead we stregthen the words of satan against us before the Father. There by we increase our trial’s duration because we accept defeat and give the devil authority before God to keep us defeated.
BRING VICTORY:–
But if we have this confession: ” Thank God who always causes us to triumph in Christ”
…”God whom we serve is able to deliver us…but if not ,we will not serve any image or worship it” ….”though he slay me yet will l trust him”…(Dan3: 17,18.Job 13: 15). Jesus picks up such promises in our confesssion and begins to present them before the Father. Then the case is dismissed and the accuser of the brethren is cast down.We come into victory .”ln all this Job did not sin with his lips.”
CONCLUSION :–
Hallelujah ! Here is your way to victory i.e confess, proclaim, and speak the Testimony of Faith. Jesus is waiting to hear it that he might become the High Priest of our confession.Devil will hear it and tremble.
- Deut 30: 14 “The WORD is very near, lts in your mouth .” Say words of deliverence wherever you go ,proclaim it far and wide. OUR GOD will stand behind His Word to perform it. Calvary’s victory belongs to you.
Isiah 65: 24:… “while they are yet speaking, l will hear.”
PRAYER: - Thank you Father for all you did on the Cross for us ,thats why Calvary’s Victory belongs to us.Amen.
