COME BOLDLY

"Mercy, Grace and Help is available at the throne of grace."

"Let us therefore COME BOLDLY unto the THRONE OF GRACE, that we may OBTAIN MERCY, and FIND GRACE TO HELP in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16).


If a man truly understands what this text is saying he will never again run from the presence of God. You see, we are not expecting judgment when we come to the throne of grace. Mercy, grace and help is what is waiting for us there. We only get judgment if we refuse to come to the throne of grace. 


No one can lay a charge against you before God as long as your faith is in Christ. For Christ is there making intercession for you before God*.  If you read Isaiah 53 and John 17 you will get a picture of what He is praying.


God will not condemn who Jesus has not condemned. "WHO IS HE THAT CONDEMNS? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US." (Romans 8:34).


Christ is the perfect substitute for our sin. Judas who betrayed Him said, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed THE INNOCENT BLOOD." And PILATE, the judge that sentenced Him to be crucified said, "I am innocent of the blood of this RIGHTEOUS PERSON" (Matthew 27:4, 24).


Paul summed it up when he wrote, "For we have not an HIGH PRIEST which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, YET WITHOUT SIN." (Hebrews 4:15).


That is the Jesus who died in your place. You were the GUILTY one. He died to give you His INNOCENCE. You were the SINNER. He died and gave you His RIGHTEOUSNESS. Through Him and by faith in His blood you are INNOCENT and JUST in the sight of God. That is what Jesus is presenting before the Father. 


That you deserve mercy, grace and help. That's what He expects you to confess BEFORE the Father and AGAINST the enemy. It is on this basis that God invites us to come to His throne room. We have to see what Jesus is doing for us there at the throne of grace. 


"SEEING THEN that we have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION." (Hebrews 4:14).


Jesus is our hope where it matters most deep behind the veil. "Which HOPE we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;


Whither the forerunner is FOR US entered, even Jesus, made an HIGH PRIEST for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (Hebrews 6:19-20).

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...

“Why Haven’t You Asked?”

Unlocking the Overflow of the Father’s Heart "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" — Matthew 7:11 (NKJV) There are few verses in Scripture more revealing of God’s heart than this one. In just a few words, Jesus turns our understanding of prayer upside down—not by emphasizing our performance, but by spotlighting the overwhelming generosity of the Father . This verse is not just an invitation to pray—it’s a wake-up call to stop living beneath our inheritance . It confronts us with a simple but life-changing truth: There are good things God has already prepared for His children that only those who ask will ever receive. 1. A Father Who Loves to Give Jesus begins with a comparison every listener could understand: earthly parents and their children . Even flawed, sinful humans know how to give good gifts to their kids. We save, sacrifice, and somet...
