Theme: The Royal Invitation
Text:  2 Samuel 9:1-13

7 So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.”

The story of Mephibosheth, Ziba and David is a common story which most people usually see Ziba as the bad servant. However for our devotion today,  we will like to look at this story in the lens of our Salvation.

The King of kings desires to know who/what to favour in His creation and He chose human beings above all creatures. He sent forth Christ to die for us. Our Jonathan is Jesus Christ.  If we are to be arrayed in our royal apparel, what qualifies us is not our beauty, stature or works.  Mephibosheth, was with defects for he is lame and his place is Lo Debar (the place of no pasture or desolate)  but that didn't disqualified Him because he belongs to Jonathan. That's how God sees us. He does not see our defects, rather he sees the blood of Jesus shared to make us royals (1 Peter 2:9).

The offer is before you; accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour (John 3:16). Beloved, do not terminate this offer with your personal counter offers (Matthew 8:21-22). Our God says, for the sake of the blood of Jesus, you're welcome to dine in His  presence continually and everything shall be restored unto you (Revelation 3:20, Zephaniah 3:9-13 & Revelation 21:1-8).

Prayer: Thank you Lord, that Your blood speaks continually over my life. Teach me to hold fast to Your promises in all sphere of my life. 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!
