Theme: A Good Name
Text: Proverbs 22:1-2

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common, the Lord is the maker of them all.



Dear beloved in the Lord, the love of many has gone cold because, they pursue irrelevant things above relevant ones. The quest to possess power or position often make people do the ugly forgetting a good name is better than their desire.

In your walk in life, choose a good name above great riches. The likes of Achan, Sapphira and Ananias lost their lives because they chose riches over good name. Abraham, Jacob, Solomon, Moses, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah all seek favour and good name before the Lord. So, God's blessing rested upon them in all their lives journey. If you also seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, all other things shall be added unto you.

Whether you're rich or poor, you're a child of God. We have one common ground which is the pasture of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has drawn us closer to the Creator the only true God, the I AM THAT I AM. The Lord send the sun and rain on both the poor and the rich. The name we all bear is Christian (Christ like) let not this name be traded for with anything. Maintain a good name.


Prayer: Dear God, I know I've not maintained the name of Your glory. But today I've come that You'll give me a change of heart so I may keep this good name in every deed in Jesus' name have I prayed. 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!
