JESUS IS OUR ONLY ADVOCATE

True help comes from the Lord and those who trust in Him are always confident and live without regrets in their belief. The Word of God has clearly stated that you shouldn’t put your trust in man at any time. Trying to do so is giving the place of God in your life to a man who has God’s breath in his nostrils. Simply consider these verses of the Scripture and reposition your life to the side of God.  Jeremiah 17:5, 7 KJV
Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. [7] Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
I have seen disappointments due to man’s helplessness. Most times, your supposed helpers are deeply helpless themselves. It’s therefore a journey into untold disappointment each time you fail to call on God but are busy knocking on the doors of mortal men. No man will help you except by God. You need God to fight for you. Some of your accusers are those that are very close to you and until Jesus is your advocate you remain a loser for life. Have you considered Christ your advocate in the midst of these battles and wars? What are you still waiting for? Even in your sin and iniquity, He will still consider you if there are proofs of genuine repentance and sobriety in your life. Let God speak for you. Allow Jesus to silence the accusers of your world. Let God be the judge in that case and let’s see the devil that will come to take the inheritance that is rightfully yours. You need a divine defender. Who is this goliath in your place of work? Report him or her to the Great Advocate.

Prayer: Lord, step into my case and judge every devil boasting over my rights and inheritance
