BIBLE IN A YEAR: Num 28-30


STOP THE MASTER’S TEARS!
Monday, March 22, 2010

MEMORIZE: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Tim. 2:5)
  
READ: Hebrews 5:5-10

Apart from weeping because He was a man of sorrow, and was obeying God’s command, Jesus also wept because He empathized with us. There was a single brother who took married people on marriage lessons. Eventually he got married, and his wife became pregnant.

When it was time for his wife to deliver, he prayed, fasted, bound and loosed, praised and danced for several hours, but when the baby delayed in coming, he went to meet his General Overseer and sought permission never to counsel married people again. It takes the poor to appreciate poverty.  The rich who never tasted poverty do not know what you are talking about when you say you are poor.  Jesus Christ wept because He was a combination of God and man.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5).  According to Hebrews 5:5-10, Jesus as the High priest weeps because He intercedes for us. When you sin, you make Him weep. But for His intercession, none of us would still be in the faith. If you are a true priest of Jesus the High Priest, you will stand in the place of intercession.

You will bear the burden of the people and weep before God in order to bring in Heaven’s intervention.  When burdened with people’s problems, with heart-felt compassion, you will not know when you will begin to weep. When last did you engage in intercession and weep in the process?

In Luke 19:41-42, Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they did not realize that their day of visitation had come. The long expected day of change came but they were too blinded by activity and spiritual complacency to know.  Whenever you fail to recognize your day of divine visitation, you make Jesus to weep.

When Heaven comes down so as to turn your hellish state into Heaven-on-earth, but because of activities, distractions, and other things, you fail to receive your blessing, then Jesus weeps. When He sends the Word that should turn around your situation at a church service or Holy Ghost service but you are either sleeping, joking and jesting or eating and as a result the Word  returns to God void, you make Him weep. In what ways are you making the Lord to weep today? Repent. Stop the Master’s tears!

ACTION POINT:
Whenever you make Jesus to weep, your Heavenly deficit increases
