DEVOTION ~ COMMAND YOUR DAY

Theme: Command Your Day
Text: Job 38:12-13

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?


God has given us power over every circumstance in life through Christ Jesus. We need to make effective use of this gift to glorify God. In doing so, we have every sphere of our lives under divine management through faith. This can be made possible by prayers.

As believers, you need to begin and end your day with prayer. Prayer will help you to command your day. Commanding your day, gives you an upper hand over situations in your life. The most effective time for this is the early hours of the day (dawn). Awake with conversation with God and trust your day's work into His Hands. You will be able to cause things in your life to know their places and thereby doing away with worries and anxieties.

Christ said, this thing won't go unless by prayer and fasting when His disciples couldn't perform a miracle as expected of them(Matthew 17:19-21). Whatever you also want to shake off your sleeves in life, needs to be spoken to by prayer and fasting. What's your trouble in life? It is never and can never be greater than God. So go before God to help you frustrate the enterprise of the wicked. You have the ability to quench the darts of the enemy so rise early and command your morning. Jesus our perfect example rises each morning to command His day before starting His ministry. As His follower, emulate this from Him and take hold of your day. Receive the power from God to command your morning each day in Jesus name. AMEN!



Prayer: Dear God, You've given me power of life and death in my tongue. I pray You equip this power in me to use it for Your glory. Help me to command my morning with my tongue through faith. With my lips, may I proclaim You and also expose the deeds of the adversary. Give me the power to never fail in commanding my day from this day forth, in Jesus' name have I asked. 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!
