DEVOTION ~ THE LORD IS MY PORTION

-
Theme: The Lord is My Portion
Text: Psalm 142:5-7

5 I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.”


Belongingness and possession are a part of the human life. We often desire to belong to a group or even possess something worthy. Earthly possessions do not give us ultimate safety and security in life. Having Christ however gives assurance of safety and security. The psalmist says the Lord is His refuge and his portion in the land of the living. Knowing there's a glorious life hereafter, it's important to establish strong relationship with the Lord. Make Him your portion here on earth so that you'll always seek the Lord above all other things and His divine blessings will locate you. 

When the Lord is your portion, He rescues you from persecutors of your destiny. When you call unto Him, you'll be saved (Romans 10:13). No power can prevail against you if the Lord becomes your portion. He'll deliver you and keep you safe. Your chains of captivity and bondage will all fall for having Jesus as your portion. Praise will never lack from your lips and you'll have lots of testimonies to share to encourage others.

In Sharing your testimonies, you will draw people to Christ's saving grace. Your companions will be those who fear and reverend God. God will continually perfect His glory in you. The lines shall fall in pleasant places for you. God's perfect will for your life will be carried out without limitations. Make the Lord your portion and enjoy the blessings that come with doing so.



Prayer: My refuge and my portion in the land of the living, I've chased empty things that can't give me life all these years. By the knowledge of your Word, I repent of my ungodly ways and I surrender totally to Your will. I pray my spirit be stirred in the direction of the Holy Spirit so I can confidently hold on to You in this life 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!
