  “ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high ” Hebrews 1 : 1 - 3 NKJV The ministry of Jesus Christ is here compared with the ministry of prophets and the angels. While “ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? ( Hebrews 1 : 14 )” climaxed the ministry of angels at the provision of messages to pilgrims on their way to the redemption city, Jesus Christ is the Message for every believer’s salvation, sanctification, and spirit baptism. Why then would anyone get distracted by the ministries of messengers (like priests, pastors, proph...

  “ But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?” Hebrews 1 : 13 NKJV Monstrous makers in our world are full of magic. Whether in politics, administration, and social welfare, the activities of the shakers and makers in our institutions and societies are more tempted to advance fear, intimidation and oppression than a peaceful response to its natural design. And while the Lord assured the righteous of their call to love, power, and sound minds, and not fear, monstrous makers often desire more ride spaces than our majestic maker. Yet, just as God the father assured the Lord Jesus Christ “ Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” , Jesus has promised all His children “ please sit at my right hand” . Standing up with our natural might and intelligence against all monstrous activities with fear and anxiety is normal. However, it takes absolute faith and confidence in our majestic maker to sit unp...

“Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.”” Hebrews‬ ‭1:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Although the saying of the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus of Ephesus, that “ the only constant in life is change ” is widely accepted by all, everyone appears to be helpless on how to ultimately control the dynamics of change. Within the state of human helplessness, life is full of myriads of privileged changers who are capable of controlling the political, financial, and sociological status of different subjects within their sphere of influence. Unfortunately, the vanity of constant change often imposes the unpleasant switch in time and season for all human changers, mostly without prior notice. Fortunately, there is the possibility of life eternal in knowing the constant Changer. Even when we are folded up and changed, the constant Changer remains unchanged; and He is able to guarantee a desirable and unchangeable rest for those who are concerned...

  “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;” Hebrews‬ ‭1:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ God’s words through His prophets in the days of old were dreaded by kings and rulers of the people because spirituality is generally accepted to control the physical realms. Whereas, with advances in intellectual capacities, increased productivity, human governance, and material wealth, words of politicians today appear to be more honourable than those of prophets. Even believers under the new covenant are ignorantly pressured to lay down their birthright in pursuit of crumbs from the tables of rulers of their world. Notwithstanding, the God of heaven still speaks His creative words to every weak but open mind…now through His Son! “ …has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through w...

  “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ The market for motivational speakers is most attractive in these days of catastrophic events. When the society is burdened with social insecurity, governance plagued with lawlessness and homes are ridden with hopelessness, some privileged people of old have used words from the prophets of God to bring sweetness out of barrenness, abundance out of poverty, and even restored life to deadness. But these days, the only source of life and inspiration from God is His Son Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many people are lost in the porous market searching for uninspired motivational speakers. And even those who are not in the market for motivational speakers are not trusting fully in the revitalizing power of the words spoken by the Son. Wher...

"[Jesus Christ]...who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3 NKJV) Effective communication is expected to produce change in position. Despite the use of divers means of communication between God and man, the provision for change from the experience of the fall for man has been the content of God's redemption plan. However, the search for the best way of communications (among prophets, angels, vision, etc) between heaven and earth has been a challenge. While other means of communication may offer a rich content that point to the way of righteousness and freedom from sin, only the communication of Jesus Christ represents the walkway to genuine transformation. Whether through the holy scripture or anointed ministers, every communication with the supreme revelation of Jesus Christ brings g...
