THE SUPERIORITY OF CHRIST: The Unchanging Eternal Creator

Devotion 6/8 

Scripture: Hebrews 1:10-14. 

Days, weeks, or years keep passing; crops and vegetation change, and people grow and die. This reflects the essence of created beings and natures. It is no surprise to see a village transform into a city or a mountain feature become a plain. These changes are inevitable. Creations are destined to change over time and through geographical shifts. 

However, this differs from the essence of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Let us turn to the Word of God to understand why. The writer of Hebrews states that Jesus laid the foundation of the earth in 1:10. This implies that Christ is the creator of all things, and, therefore, He shapes creation rather than creation shaping Him. All that He created will perish (verse 11); He can fold all of them like a cloak and change them, but He never changes (verse 12). He exists permanently because He is not created. The unchanging essence and nature of Christ emphasise His superiority. 

It is sometimes saddening to see believers driven by the storm of unbelief because of the changes they experience. This is because many find themselves idolising created things, neglecting Christ's superiority – the Unchanging, Eternal Creator. As believers, we should root our faith in the unchanging, eternal creator who shapes life. When we trust Him as our superior and eternal creator, we shall inherit salvation and live eternally with Him. Verse 14. We should trust Him by giving our lives to His superiority and worship alone. 

Dear brothers and sisters, which part of your life is challenged by the changing nature of creatures as you reflect on the eternal Creator? How do you demonstrate the superiority of Christ in your salvation? What are your thoughts on why things that were created generally change? What does the superiority of Christ teach you about God? As we meditate on this devotion, may we trust in the unchanging eternal Creator and make Him Lord of our lives. Let His superiority be a mark that transforms our understanding and faith. Additionally, let us not be consumed by the changing nature or claim of another creature to idolise. 

Prayer

Dear God of heaven, our unchanging, eternal Creator, we thank you for reminding us to worship you alone. We thank you for creating and moulding us. May you guide us to trust and worship you alone and not to be driven by any claim that would take your place. 

Amen.

Key Verse: “Like a cloak, you will fold them up, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will not fail.” Vs12

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
