DEVOTION ~DWELLING IN GOD'S HOUSE

Theme: Dwelling in God's House 
Text: Psalm 84:10-12

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You!



There's always a place of convenience for everyone. It could be a quiet place in the house, the club, the gym, playground, place of worship, amongst others. For you as a believer in Christ Jesus, the courts of the Lord should be your most cherished place. The psalmist say, a day in God's court is better than a thousand elsewhere. He further says, being a doorkeeper in God's house is preferable above the tents of the wicked. If you spend your time to do God's will and bringing people to the Light, there's a great reward for you than in the company of the wicked that take delight in afflicting pain on others.

As you do God's will, He illumines your path as the sun; His word becomes a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). He is a tower that gives security to those who comes to Him so to the psalmist, He is a shield (Proverbs 18:10). How can you have a wealthy dad and lack good things? That will be total absurdity. God owns all things and He gives it to whoever He chooses to (Daniel 4:17-37). He is your Shepherd and so you shall not want anything for His provision is great and comes perfectly (Psalm 23). You're highly favored for putting your trust in the Lord. He'll perfect His glory in your life and your family if you surrender to Him completely. God has never lied and He won't even start with you for His love for you is immeasurable.


Prayer: Dear God, I'm grateful for welcoming me into Your courts. Help me to do the needful in Your presence each passing seconds so I don't take pleasure in things that does not give everlasting benefits 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...

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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
