Theme: Imitate Your Lord Daily
Text: Psalm 5:1-3

Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.

It is essential that you meditate or have a quiet time with God in the early hours of the morning. Having a quiet time draws you to the Lord and empowers you for the day. In the gospels, Jesus Christ is often out alone in the early hours of the day and evening to pray: Mark 1:35; 6:46; Matthew 14:23; Luke 5:16; 9:18. We also ought to learn from our Savior. We need to pray and study the Word of God (Bible).

Prayer is our weapon to overcome the darts of the devil and his agents. What do you use your early hours of the morning for? Have you scheduled your morning for prayer and study of the Word of God?  If you have not, it's time to fix it in. You need the power of God to carry you through the day and even through the night. Your victory is closed by, tap into it with the weapon of prayer and the study of the Bible.

Prayer: Your strength is what I need Lord, to overcome every challenge of my life. Train my hands for war and my finger for battle for the warfare is not carnal. Thank You for the overcoming grace in Christ Jesus. 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!
