Theme: Faith Does the Unthinkable
Text: Hebrews 11:8

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.


Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. You can't have faith and be expecting a prove. You just step out in obedience. Abraham didn't challenge God when asked to move out of his father's house. In obedience he moved and as his relationship with God became more closer he possessed his possessions.

What are you hoping the Lord will do for you? Don't be moved by what you hear or see. Rather let the Word of God - Yes and AMEN! - drive you to trust the Lord, for He is more than able to do what He has promised. In sickness, know that He is the healer; in debt, know that He has settled your debts; in misery, know that He performs miracles; in your singleness, know that He has created them male and female and none will lack her mate; in your childlessness, know that He is the giver of children; in the hopelessness of your career, know that He is the able provider; in all circumstances, know that the impossibles are possible with Him. Faith does the unthinkable. If those around you think you're going crazy, tell them you've seen Jesus and you're coming out of that horrible situation in Jesus name.

Prayer: Let my spirit be driven by faith in You o God. May I always see you and not the ugly circumstances around me and give me joy unspeakable even now and forevermore 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!
