Theme: Your Source of Strength
Text: Jeremiah 17 :14-18

Memory verse: Jeremiah 17 :14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.


In the preceding verses (Jeremiah 17:5-13) we've learnt we should trust the Lord in all situations. Today's opening text tells us who God is. He is the Mighty Healer and Savior of the world. The Lord heals us of every ill heath; be it physical or spiritual. Whatever is your challenge in life, the Lord is able to heal and restore you. His saving grace is open to all who believe and call on him (Romans 10:13-14). Do not be discouraged by the blasphemous utterances of people towards the Lord. You may go through pain, but understand victory is yours if only you know the God you're serving (2 Corinthians 4:8-10).

When you put your confidence in the Lord, He will never disappoint you in the days of trouble. Though He will chastised you, don't draw away from Him. For He chastens those He loves ( Hebrews 12:6-11).

Your accusers will be put to shame if you seek the face of the Lord at all times. They will come in one way but flee in seven ways (Deuteronomy 28:7). Your foes will be completely disgraced when they see the Mighty Hand of God at work in your life.


Prayer: Give me victory O God, over all life's challenges in Jesus name. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

DEVOTION ~ JUDGING RIGHTEOUSLY

-
Theme: Judging Righteously Text: Genesis 38:26 26 So Judah acknowledged them and said, “She has been more righteous than I because I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he never knew her again. Previous devotion taught us that Tamar sent the pledge Judah gave her to him to identify the owner. Upon receiving the items Judah acknowledged his wrong. Judah did not allow pride or ego to cloud his judgment but rather pointed to the role he played in leading Tamar to take such a drastic step to get pregnant. Dear beloved in the Lord, don't be quick to point people's wrong without considering yours. Let us learn from Judah to never push blame to others if we are guilty. Let us Pray: Almighty God, forgive me for employing the full rigour of the law on defaulters but failing to in my own case. Grant me sound judgment to act righteously. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

COMMAND YOUR WEEK

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
