Theme: The Ways of the Lord 
Text: Psalm 86:11-13

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. 12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. 13 For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.


God's plan for man is not to destroy him but rather draw him closer to Himself. God is merciful towards His creation and delivers them from any form of harm. You are no exception. God truly loves you and wants the best for you.

Walking in the precepts of the Lord, makes you secure on your way. This can only be achieved in the daily study of the Word of God. The psalmist asked that the Lord teaches him His way so as to walk in God's truth and to unite his heart to fear the name of God. God teaches you through His Word.

 In Him is truth and no deceit is found. Walking in truth saves you from every evil. No wonder the Apostle Paul admonished in Ephesians 6:14 to; Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness. The truth will set you free as well as make you stand firmly. Circumstances won't move you when you stand firmly in the truth. The heart must unite in reverence with (fear of) the Lord that is why you must put on the breastplate of righteousness.

Let your praise continually reach the Father for granting you the grace and mercies through the death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have been saved by grace through Christ Jesus.


Prayer: Dear God, thank You for Your mercies and grace over my life. Guide my heart and mind to conform to Your will. Make me walk faithfully in Your way 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!
