DEVOTION ~ FEAR NOT!

-
Theme: Fear Not!
Text: Psalm 20:1-3

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; 2 May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; 3 May He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah! 



In one way or the other, there's an element of phobia in every human being. The strongest man on earth has something that definitely puts fear in him, making him human. We have fears of loosing love ones, jobs, money, even the fear of danger or uncertainties in the future. But there's a hope for you in the Lord. God's words can give you encouragement to sail through the fear and come out victoriously.

When you're faced with your fears, confess Psalm 20 as prayer of assurance and encouragement. The blessings of this psalm are clear and each and every child of God should partake of this benediction. The psalmist says, may the Lord answer you in the day of trouble and may the name of the God of Jacob defend you. In whatever troubles you are in, just keep in mind, if you call on God, He'll answer you and be your defender. So don't get down casted, instead rise on your feet and call unto the Lord for deliverance.

The Lord will send help from His sanctuary. I love it that, we have another Helper who is the Holy Spirit. God has already sent Him to us and His presence is strength unto we who believe in Him. So instead of using out all your energy and yet getting no results, just tap strength from the Holy Spirit. Allow Him to take the burden and have His own way in your life.

There's remembrance for everything you do. Your offerings be it in kind or cash to the Lord is known to Him. Just like king Hezekiah, you can also go before the Lord to plead your case for deliverance (2 Kings 20). Your services in His vineyard, caring for the poor, widow, orphans, aged, sick, prisoners, and the vulnerable is ever before the Lord. He'll never forget you if you do them according to His teaching.

If God can come to your rescue, then what are you afraid of? Wipe your tears and begin to confess your victory in the Lord.



Prayer: Heavely Father, thank You for Your blessings over my life. I pray the yoke of fear be broken in my life. Help me to trust every word of Yours concern my destiny 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...

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!"
