Where are the Intercessors? - Bible Meditation

-

 


"By His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many for He shall bear their inquities...He hath poured out His Soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgessors" (Isa 53:11,12).

          "By His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many." This knowledge is indeed unique. The knowledge of this world makes a aman justify himself and put all the blame on others. Jesus told the Pharisees, "You are they which justify yourselves before men" Luk 16:15). Divine knowledge works the other way round; it makes one take all the blame upon oneself  and justify others! Do we have his divine knowledge?

          Why is this unique knowledge essential for travailing or interceding in prayer? Because true intercessors have to bear the iniquites of others "He shall bear their iniquities."  If someone has sinned against with God, the man who intercedes for him, should plead with God as if he himself has commited that sin. Hence we read, "He bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors."

                 We also read that He was numbered with the transgressors
i.e., He identified Himself with the trangressors. If we are praying for a sick man inthe wheelchair, we should pray as if we ourselves are in the wheelchair and suffering the pain, I i we are praying for a dying man, we should identify ourselves with him. "He hath poured out His soul unto death." Jesus interceded for us with great agony as our souls were going to hell to face second death.

                   WHERE ARE THE INTERCESSORS who can travail for others as jesus did?

Amen !

WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? - Bible Meditation

“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple” (Psa 27:4). David desired one thing, and he desired it with all his heart; his one desire was to behold the Lord. God’s desire is that we too be single-minded in our seeking after Him. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by anything, we shall never succeed in this, our most important spiritual quest. Paul was also single-minded: “This ONE THING I do,” he said, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13,14). The Lord is asking you one thing today: Are you a person of one mind, or is your mind set on a number of different things? What are you seeking? Perhaps the devil is tempting you to focus your mind on the things of this world. Jesus rebuked Mar

             An eaglet knows that it is going to ne day fly like mother - not creep on the earth or walk on the ground. We are begotten of our God. The name of our Jesus is wonderful. His children are also wonderful like him. That's why the Word of God says, "Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Isreal" (Isa 8:18). Our wonderful Jesus makes our lives wonderful.             Let this wonderful jesus come into your life. He wants to make your life wonderful. He desires to do wonders in your life. He will turn darkness into light. He will create everything out of nothing. Your thoughts, your words, your character, your peace, your joy, will become wonderful. Everything connected with Jesus is wonderful; He will make everything connected with you also wondeful. This life with Jesus is most wonderful and existing.                Our Jesus is going to do something most wonderful very, very soon. A thing that has not been done s

My God ! - Bible Meditation

 "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust" (Psa 91:2). Though Saul was chosen by God to be the first king of Isreal, We don't read of him ever referring to the Lord as my God'; but we see David saying 'my God many times. St. Paul says, "My God shall supply all your needs."           How does God become 'my God' or a personal God? by receiving the Holy Spirit, by taking water baptism, or by doing will of God, you cannot make God your God. For God to become 'my God' I must delight to do God's will, " I delight to do Thy will, O my God: Thy law is within my heart"  (Psa 40:8). You may   do the will of God, but you may not doing it joyfully. When you delight to do the will of God, the omnipoint, omnipresent God becomes your own personal God.           Knowing God and knowing about God are two different things. By reading the word of God, by listening to messages, etc. we come know God. But we know God person
