If you do arduous study of Scripture, yet have very little prayer life, you will know much about doctrines and history, but not have much of a personal relationship with the God whom the Bible is about. If all you do is pray and have a general sort of "faith," yet don't immerse yourself in the Scriptures, you run the risk of praying to the wrong God or wrong Jesus, and not knowing what God has said to mankind about Himself. Prayer and Bible reading go hand in hand. One is talking to God, and the other is God talking to you. Do both in heavy amounts daily.

Reading Hebrews 7 leaves you in awe. This is not just clever theology; it feels like divine intelligence unfolding in real time. The writer constructs such a devastatingly logical argument that you almost feel sorry for anyone trying to resist it. He begins by setting Melchizedek beside Abraham and proving that Melchizedek is greater. How does he do it? First, Abraham pays tithes to him. In Jewish thought, the one who pays tithes acknowledges the superiority of the one receiving them. Second, Melchizedek blesses Abraham, and every Jew knows the principle: the greater blesses the lesser. So the conclusion is unavoidable. Melchizedek is greater than Abraham. Then the writer tightens the grip. If Abraham acknowledged Melchizedek, then Levi, and by extension the entire Levitical and Aaronic priesthood, acknowledged him too, because Levi was still in Abraham’s loins. That is profoundly Jewish argumentation. It leaves no escape. Even the priesthood bows to Melchizedek. Case closed. Then the writer brings in Psalm 110 and drops the hammer. God swore that another priest would arise after the order of Melchizedek. And the question becomes unavoidable. If the Levitical priesthood was sufficient, why did God promise another priesthood centuries later? The only logical conclusion is that the old priesthood was never intended to be final. It was always provisional. If the priesthood changes, then the law changes. That is fair, logical, and inescapable. Now the argument becomes intensely focused. Psalm 110 is about the Messiah. Who is this Messiah-Priest? The answer is Christ. But Christ is not from Levi. He is from Judah. So His priesthood cannot be grounded in ancestry or legal regulation. It must be grounded in something else entirely. The writer answers that directly. His priesthood is grounded in the power of an indestructible life. Melchizedek’s priesthood in Scripture appears without end. Christ literally defeats death and lives forever. The parallel is complete. Then the writer introduces a detail that detonates everything. The old priesthood came through law. Christ’s priesthood comes through God’s sworn oath. And every Jew knows what an oath from God means. Their entire identity exists because of God’s oath to Abraham. If they take that oath seriously, they must take this one seriously too. Finally he exposes the failure of the old system. It never brought perfection. It could not give true access to God. Its priests kept dying so the system lacked continuity. They kept sacrificing daily so the system lacked finality. They had to sacrifice for their own sins so the system lacked moral perfection. Jesus answers every weakness in one sweep. He lives forever. He is morally pure and needs no sacrifice for Himself. He offers one sacrifice, once for all. And He never stops interceding. It is the ultimate once-and-for-all solution. You do not have to keep patching the problem. It is dealt with permanently. Hebrews 7 does not merely say Christianity is better. It declares that God Himself has moved history forward. The old priesthood is finished. The old system has served its purpose and is now obsolete. Christ stands as the final, eternal, perfect High Priest. Once you see that, you cannot pretend nothing has changed. You do not argue. You bow.

Never thought about it that way.

The Bible is a book of Principles, Promises, Practices, Precepts, Patterns, Prayers, Prophecies...

In Christ Alone has to be one of the best hymns ever written😭

Oh tell God EVERYTHING, He doesn’t snitch: Your anxiety Your fears Your worries Your anger issues The person you are finding it hard to forgive Your secret sins Surely, the person who created the ears will listen And your burdens are not heavier than the cross.

Bishop David Oyedepo will always be primarily seen as the enigmatic, generational and transformational church leader he is. He will probably be the first to agree to that being his defining identity. God’s worker. To only see him that way will amount to wilful blindness or sincere ignorance. None is acceptable. He is much more. No private individual, dead or alive, can lay claim to his legacy in education from primary to secondary education and two world class universities in Covenant University - arguably Nigeria’s best university- and Landmark University. Beyond these, the man is a maker of men. Not just in terms of building them up as a church leader. A maker of men in terms of literal economic empowerment. There are thousands of enterprises that cannot tell their stories without referencing his direct contribution. Let’s not speak about the exceptional exploits of his university products. You just know there is a design at play. He is a nation-builder. A man whose footprint finds its presence all around the world. You couldn’t write a single book on his impact, let alone one social media post. This is only to say that when you think of the man, understand that whatever you see or know is only a vignette of his fullness. Love or hate him, admire or detest him, this is an extraordinary symbol of pride to the Black race. If we were as committed to telling stories of greatness about our people, as Americans are used to doing, we’d understand better. Happy birthday to Bishop David Oyedepo. I can’t explain. It’s extraordinary. #BDOat70
