Leverage Devotional For Today Message:

Ministering unto the Lord is one of the blessed privileges of priesthood. To minister unto the Lord simply means to give Him the praise, honour, worship, and adoration due Him by singing His praise, lifting holy hands, and ultimately, giving Him first place in your life. God has made believers in Christ priests and kings, that is, a kingdom of priests (Revelations 1:6; 5:10). So, every believer in Christ Jesus is required to function in the office of a priest. Under the Old Covenant, priests offered gifts and sacrifices to God as representatives of the people. They ministered to the Lord, burnt offerings (for thanksgiving) and sin offerings (for forgiveness). They functioned as the people’s go-between before God. Today, we don’t offer burnt offerings and sinful offerings of animals as they did, but we offer thanksgiving as the fruit of our lips unto God continually (Hebrews 13:15).

In this dispensation of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ has been made our eternal sin offering. Therefore, we don’t offer sin offerings as they did. We only confess our sins if we have slipped, and then receive forgiveness by faith in the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus on the cross for us (1 John 1:9; 2:1-2). Ministering unto the Lord entails singing unto God, songs of praise and worship that address Him, magnify Him and honour Him. There are different kinds of songs; some address us, while others address our situations. The songs that address us and ours cannot minister to the Lord, because they minister to us and not to the Lord. Often, we sing songs that address us and claim we are worshipping God. No, we are not worshipping God. We are only edifying ourselves. It’s okay to edify yourself, but it’s wrong to think you are ministering unto the Lord when you are edifying yourself. Edifying yourself and ministering to the Lord are two different things.

MY SOLID FRONT (CONFESSION)

Heavenly Father, I thank You because I am the circumcision who worships You in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus; I have no confidence in the flesh. I commit to worshipping You always because You are worthy to receive my worship, and as I worship You, I trust that You’ll fill me with Your Spirit to stay aglow spiritually, in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.

Further Meditation: Hebrews 13:15; Colossians 3:17
