THE GOOD NEWS BEARER

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops." ~ Matthew 10:27

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin) is an Evangelist and a Christian Writer. She grew up in a strict, religiously confused household, but found Christ on her own, when it became clear to her that she had no relationship whatsoever with Him and had no purpose in life, in spite of her upbringing. Deborah surrendered her life to Christ in 1992 but kept running from her calling owing to the severe trials she faced and the cares of the world, until she had a personal encounter with Him years later. She steps out of her comfort zone as led to fulfil her calling. She also speaks openly about her childhood difficulties and the struggles she has had in life, to testify of the mercy of God and His awesome power.

False Mediators

Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between Father God and Man (1 Timothy 2:5) - the only One who intercedes for us (Romans 8:34). Therefore, since you have received Him as your Lord and Saviour, you have direct access to Father God through faith in Him (Ephesians 3:12). You can approach Father God freely and with confidence to make a request, make a confession, give a petition, share your heart with Him, ask for guidance, etc. in the Name of Jesus. You do not need a fellow human acting as an intermediary, to communicate with your Father.

Contrary to popular belief, no human being was given the authority by Father God to speak to Him on your behalf - not a preacher, spiritual leader, prayer partner, dead saints, Mary mother of Jesus Christ, or other mortals you presume have the privileged role of an intermediary because you believe they are closer to Father God than you are. Not even angels have this authority. By the same token, no one has the authority to plead your case with Jesus Christ, before He then pleads the case with Father God. The most any human being can possibly do, is to agree with you in prayers (Matthew 18:19). No one has the power to make things happen for you.

Great things happen when believers come together in unity and agree in prayers. However, answers to prayers said, blessings, miracles, and every other good and perfect thing we enjoy should never be ascribed to a fellow human being, but the Almighty God, who chose to be merciful to us. He alone deserves the glory. Give God all the glory and appreciate the faithful believer(s) who agreed with you in prayers concerning your situation.

Shalom!
